Gabriel Agbo | Touch Jesus’ garment and be healed
Loading article...
Have you been sick or in an unpleasant situation for a long time? You can still be healed! Yes, there can still be a solution to that problem!
Though it is human and natural to want to give up on a situation after putting everything into solving it, we must also recognise that there is a supernatural power that can turn our impossibilities into possibilities and our difficulties into testimonies.
As I write, there are people who have given up and are just waiting for the final whistle. They have tried everything, made every effort, spent all their resources and goodwill, offered prayers, and done all they could, yet the situation has refused to change. They are exhausted and weary. Even when you try to encourage them, they are reluctant to believe that anything positive can still happen to them.
Yes, I have seen God turn the worst situations around. Truly, with Him all things are possible. Every sickness, every situation, every opposition, every confusion, and every hindrance bows to the name of Jesus! You are being healed of that sickness now! Remember, I said that you are receiving the solution to that longstanding problem today!
As I reflected on this, the story of the desperate woman in Mark Chapter 5 came to mind. It is one of the most difficult and hopeless situations recorded in the Bible. She had been very sick for 12 years. She was losing her blood—and her strength—every second of every day. She spent all she had looking for a solution, yet none came. She suffered greatly, and her condition only worsened. There was no improvement, no cure, and no hope.
Worst of all, even when she caught a glimpse of the solution, the surging crowd became an obstacle, a barrier preventing her from reaching Him. My God! What could be worse than this? Does this sound like your situation?
Look at what the Bible says: “Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him. A woman in the crowd had suffered for 12 years with constant bleeding. She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. For she thought to herself, ‘If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.’ Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.” (Mark 5:24-29)
Wow!
Some of you reading this message are like this woman. You have been in that situation for a long time. It looks incurable and terminal, the kind of condition described as being sick unto death. You helplessly watch as your life, your resources, your joy, your hope, and your investments slip away. The harder you try, the more the problem and frustration increase.
It might not be your health directly, but things around you have become sick – your business, your relationship, your marriage, or your career. You take one step forward and three steps backward. There is no help, and nobody seems to care anymore.
People, friends, and relatives have grown tired of helping. Yes, there is a limit to what people, even family members, can offer during times of trial. Look at that woman again. Did you hear anything about her friends or relatives? Perhaps some well-meaning people tried to help, but became exhausted and eventually left her to her fate. They left her with her pain, shame, and suffering.
Remember also that her condition would have brought unpleasant circumstances and a constant drain on resources. So everyone eventually ran away.
Please do not become too angry when people desert you in the middle of your trial. It is only human nature. Let them go because God is coming to meet you. If they do not leave, if they do not betray you, you might never experience the full manifestation of God’s unfailing power and love.

What I love most about this woman is her determination and faith. Yes, the situation was desperate and hopeless, but she absolutely refused to give up. She had no relatives, neighbours, or friends left to turn to, but she was willing to try Jesus. Though the crowd stood before her like a wall of obstacles, she was determined to push through and claim her solution.
Wow!
This is exactly what you need right now to come out of your present situation. It is what you need to receive your healing and breakthrough. You must be determined. You must refuse to accept defeat.
Remember, this is about your life. It is about your future and destiny. You must believe that this next step will bring your breakthrough. You must not give up now. You must press through every physical, spiritual, and psychological obstacle.
Obstacles will always give way to those who refuse to surrender!
Do not sit there and die. There is still a solution. Many have gone through similar situations and survived.
This woman pressed on even when everything was against her. She managed to touch the edge of Jesus’ garment, and the incredible happened. She was immediately and completely healed!
I see you being healed today. As you touch Him, receive your wholeness now, in Jesus’ name!
We will continue next week.
