Bleeder Woman Healed

Chapter 1  
In the King James Version, the woman is called the woman with the issue of blood.  Her bleeding wouldn’t stop for twelve years.  
From Luke chapter 8, Holy Bible, Hoehn Version, (Amazon.com).  
 43 And a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years, who had spent all her living on doctors, and couldn't be cured by any of them,
 44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
 45 And Jesus said, "Who touched me?"  When all denied, Peter and those who were with him said, "Master, the multitude crowd you and press you, and do you say, Who touched me?"
 46 And Jesus said, "Someone has touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out of me."
 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
 48 And he said to her, "Daughter, be of good comfort, your faith has made you well, go in peace."  

This story is in more than one of the four books, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  

In one of them, it says that the woman said in her heart, “If I can just touch the border of his garment (Jesus), I’ll be healed.”  

I happened to be discussing childbirth one time with a man who was a medical doctor.  He said that after the baby is born, they try to make sure that all of the placental sac has come out of the mother.  

If the woman conceives seed again, there will be a new placental sac for the new baby.  

If not all of the placental sac comes out, the mother will continue to bleed.  

They actually place the placental sac on a table and put the pieces together like a puzzle to try to make sure it’s all there.  

The Bible doesn’t say whether the woman was bleeding for this reason or for some other reason, but the woman said in her heart, “If I can just touch the border of his (Jesus’) garment, I’ll be healed.”  

She went to where Jesus was, pushed through the crowd, touched his clothes, and was healed.  

Jesus said, “Who touched me?”  

Peter says, “Lord, you’re in a big crowd of people, what do you mean who touched me?”

No, this wasn’t just someone brushing elbows with you.  This was a different kind of touch.  This touch used faith to pull power out of Jesus.  Jesus felt power go out of him.  

The woman said, “It was me.”  Jesus told her that her faith had healed her.  

Kenneth E. Hagin has referred to this woman several times in his teaching on healing and faith.  

Twelve years is a long time to go with an affliction like that.  But Jesus’ earthly ministry lasted only about three years.  

But when Jesus came along, and the woman heard that Jesus was getting people healed, she put her plan into operation.    

Chapter 2  

Did you notice that before David killed Goliath, David said, “The Lord will deliver him into my hand?”

David got what he said, and the woman got what she said.  

You can have what you say.  A scripture for this is Mark 11:23, “Whoever shall speak to the mountain and tell it to go, it will go, if he believes that what he says shall happen, and doesn’t doubt in his heart.”  

Notice that first you believe, and afterward you receive.  

Some have said, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”  No, that’s wrong.  They’re trying to put the receiving before the believing, and that won’t work.  You have to put the believing before the receiving.  

We walk by faith, not by sight.  

Faith calls the things that are not as though they already existed.  

Mark 11:24 is like the previous verse, “When you pray, believe that you receive the things you ask for, and you shall have.”  

In that verse, “believe” is present tense, but “shall have” is future tense.  First you believe, and then you receive.  If you try to reverse the order, you don’t receive.  

In the Bible, there are ways to strengthen faith.  “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (book of Romans)

The Bible says “Faith works by love.”  

Jude verse 20 says we build up ourselves on our most holy faith when we pray in the spirit (in unknown tongues).  

If you haven’t yet received the Baptism with the Holy Ghost, please see my book, “What the Bible Teaches about Grumbling, Divine Healing, Prayer, and Baptism with the Holy Ghost.” (Amazon.com) 

A fourth way to strengthen faith is prayer and fasting.  

Norvel Hayes said, “Whatever your problem is, that’s your mountain.  Command it to go!”  

Kenneth E. Hagin was healed of an incurable heart disease.  At least, that’s what the doctors said.  Jesus didn’t think so.  

But before Hagin got his healing, he first learned to believe that he was healed.  Then the healing came.  

Then the Lord told Kenneth E. Hagin, “Now go teach my people faith.”  So Hagin taught faith for about seventy years.  

In his book, “God’s Creative Power Will Work for You,” Charles Capps teaches about speaking things into existence.  

Speaking things into existence is how God did the creation.  And in Genesis, it says that we’re made in the image of God.  So we also should be speaking things into existence.  But let’s try not to speak the wrong things into existence.  



Hagin later learned to speak financial prosperity into existence, as he shows in his book, “How God Taught Me About Prosperity,” available at www.Rhema.org

Capps teaches the importance of quoting promises from the Bible.  Capps says it’s more effective when we hear ourselves quote promises than hearing others quote them.  

I’ve compiled lists of promises from the Bible.  Please see my book, “A Collection of Promises From God for His People From the Holy Bible.” (Amazon.com)


___James chapter 1
 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are dispersed around, greetings.
 2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various temptations,
 3 Knowing this, that the testing of your faith works patience.
 4 But let patience have its perfect work, so you'll be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives to all men liberally, and won't find fault, and it shall be given to him.
 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
 7 For let that man not think that he'll receive anything from the Lord.
 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted,
 10 But the rich, in that he is made low, because as the flower of the grass he'll pass away.
 11 For the sun has no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower of it falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes, so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
 12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for after he's been tested, he'll receive the crown of life, that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man,
 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
 15 Then when lust has conceived, it produces sin, and sin when it's finished, produces death.
 16 Do not err, my beloved brothers.
 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, nor shadow of turning.
 18 He chose to father us with the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
 19 So, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
 20 For the anger of man doesn't accomplish the righteousness of God.
 21 So, lay apart all filthiness and the unnecessary naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man seeing his natural face in a mirror,
 24 For he sees himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
 25 But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
 26 If any man among you seems to be religious, and doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is for nothing.
 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

___James chapter 2
 1 My brothers, don't have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
 2 For if a man with a gold ring comes to your assembly in fancy clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes comes in also,
 3 And you have respect to him that wears the fancy clothes, and say to him, "Sit here in a good place," and say to the poor, "Stand there, or sit here under my footstool,"
 4 Aren't you then partial in yourselves, and have become judges with evil thoughts?
 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, hasn't God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
 6 But you have despised the poor.  Don't rich men oppress you, and bring you before the judgment seats?
 7 Don't they blaspheme that worthy name by which you're called?
 8 If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor like yourself," you do well,
 9 But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as sinners.
 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
 11 For he that said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not kill."  Now if you don't commit adultery, yet if you kill, you've become a breaker of the law.
 12 Speak in such a way, and do, as those who'll be judged by the law of liberty.
 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has shown no mercy, and mercy rejoices against judgment.
 14 What does it profit, my brothers, though a man says he has faith, and doesn't have works?  Can faith save him?
 15 If a brother or sister needs clothes, and lacks daily food,
 16 And one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you don't give them the things that are needed for the body, what good is that?
 17 Even so faith, if it doesn't have works, is dead, being alone.
 18 Yes, a man could say, "You have faith, and I have works, show me your faith without your works, and I'll show you my faith by my works."
 19 You believe that there is one God, you do well, the devils also believe, and tremble.
 20 But don't you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
 21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar?
 22 Do you see how faith worked with his deeds, and by works faith was made perfect?
 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God."
 24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
 25 Likewise also wasn't Rahab the prostitute justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
 26 For like the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

___James chapter 3
 1 My brothers, don't be many masters, knowing that we'll receive the greater condemnation.
 2 For in many things we offend all.  If any man doesn't offend in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
 3 See, we put bits in the horses' mouths, so they'll obey us, and we turn around their whole bodies.
 4 Look also at the ships, which though they're so large, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they're turned around by a very small helm, wherever the captain wants.
 5 Even so, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things.  See how great a matter a little fire kindles!
 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, so is the tongue among our members that it makes dirty the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell.
 7 For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of snakes, and of things in the sea, gets tamed, and has been tamed by mankind,
 8 But no man can tame the tongue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
 9 With it we bless God, the Father, and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing.  My brothers, these things ought not to be.
 11 Does a fountain send out at the same place sweet water and bitter?
 12 Can the fig tree, my brothers, produce olive berries?  Or a vine, figs?  So no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh.
 13 Who is a wise man, possessing knowledge among you?  Let him show out of a good lifestyle his works with meekness of wisdom.
 14 But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, don't glory, and don't lie against the truth.
 15 This wisdom doesn't descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be reasoned with, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
 18 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace by those who make peace.

___James chapter 4
 1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from?  Don't they come from your lusts that war in your members?
 2 You lust, and don't have, you kill, and desire to have, and can't obtain, you fight and war, yet you don't have, because you don't ask.
 3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask wrongly, so you can consume it on your lusts.
 4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God?  Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is an enemy of God.
 5 Do you think that the scripture says for nothing, "The spirit that lives in us lusts to envy?"
 6 But he gives more grace.  So he says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he'll run away from you.
 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded.
 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and cry, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he'll lift you up.
 11 Don't speak evil about each other, brothers.  He that speaks evil about his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil about the law, and judges the law, but if you judge the law, you're not a doer of the law, but a judge.
 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy, who are you that judges someone else?
 13 Go on now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we'll go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and make a profit,"
 14 Actually, you don't know what will happen tomorrow.  For what is your life?  It is a puff of steam, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
 15 For you ought to say, "Lord willing, we'll live, and do this, or that."
 16 But now you rejoice in your boastings, all such rejoicing is evil.
 17 Therefore to him that knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

___James chapter 5
 1 Go on now, you rich men, cry and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.
 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your clothes are moth eaten.
 3 Your gold and silver are rusted, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire.  You've heaped treasure together for the last days.
 4 See, the wages of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which you've kept back by fraud, shouts, and the shouts of those who've reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath.
 5 You've lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton, you've nourished your hearts, like in a day of slaughter.
 6 You've condemned and killed the just, and he doesn't resist you.
 7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.  See, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.
 8 You also be patient.  Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is getting near.
 9 Don't grudge against each other, brothers, so you won't be condemned, see, the judge stands at the door.
 10 Take, my brothers, the prophets, who've spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
 11 See, we count them happy that endure.  You've heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
 12 But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, not by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and your no, no, so that you don't fall into condemnation.
 13 Is anyone among you afflicted?  Let him pray.  Is anyone merry?  Let him sing psalms.
 14 Is anyone sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord,
 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he has committed sins, he'll be forgiven.
 16 Confess your faults to each other, and pray for each other so you'll be healed.  The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man is does a lot of good.
 17 Elijah was a man subject to the same kind of passions that we are, and he prayed earnestly that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and six months.
 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
 19 Brothers, if any of you strays from the truth, and someone converts him,
 20 Let him know, that he that converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
