Mark 5:30
It has been my opinion that we have in this verse a very unique statement. I would not expect this to be said of anyone but the Lord himself. Any Christian who was in some way involved in the healing of the sick might know that something had happened by being told by the Spirit, but it would never be said in this case that power had gone out from that person. Miracles do not occur by virtue of any Christian person but by virtue of the Lord whom we serve.
Jesus is, of course, completely different in that he is the Source of the power for healing. So, had one of the disciples, for example, been involved in this healing, we might see the Spirit reveal the actions of the woman to them. But, it would not be said that they felt power go out from themselves. This could only be true for Christ.
Deuteronomy 25:1-27:26
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Heavenly Father, your gifts to us are great, and yet we often think about what we don’t have, or what you have taken away. Would we love you any more if you never let anything bad happen? In our sinful state, this side of glory, would we trust you more if there were no tests for our faith? I think not. Give us, as we all ask for grace to bear as you teach us lessons we would never learn without adversity. Help us to see the pattern of the Christian life is following in the Master’s footsteps. Christ came to suffer, and to gain the victory. Thank you for giving us that path, the road to victory. You are so wise, we trust your way! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Pray for a woman who is not feeling well. Pray for a couple of young people.
