“And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.”
Luke 8:43-44(KJV)
The Bible in our opening scripture tells us about the woman with the issue of blood. She had suffered for twelve years, but she came behind Jesus and touched the border of His garment and she was perfectly healed.
When you come to Jesus with your problem, He removes the label of that problem off your life. Initially, this woman was labelled the woman with the issue of blood, but when she came to Jesus, He gave her a new identity. First of all in Luke 8:46, “Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.” For this particular woman, Jesus not only called her Somebody, He called her Daughter(Luke 8:48).
I want you to know that even if you think you are a nobody, the minute Jesus comes into your life, you are somebody. You are the righteousness of God, you are a king, you are the child of the Most High God. Child of God when you know who you are, your confidence soars; because confidence is a function of identity.
I want you to understand that the woman was not the only one touching Jesus at that time, but Jesus sees every individual as a somebody in the midst of everybody. That means you are not a face in the crowd, God knows you and sees you as somebody special even in the midst of a crowd. That's how special you are to God. You are not insignificant to God.
CONFESSION
I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar person; to show forth the praises of him who hath called me out of darkness into his marvelous light.
For further study read:
1 Peter 2:10, Romans 9:25-26, Hosea 2:23
DOING THE WORD
Do not label yourself by any problem, label yourself by your God-given identity. You are royalty.
