Life Lessons from the Woman with the issue of blood



The courage to break free
Mark 5:25-35



Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid,  but you have the courage to overcome it.
It is easier to bind you when you are not moving.
Fear has stopped so many people than failure has ever done.
The woman with the issue of blood faced the fear of death,  of social rejection and the courage to take a high risk
She knew she wasn't supposed to be in the crowd,  but she was at a point at which she was willing to take the highest risk of her life. 
You won't get to where you are going without the courage to take the high risk at one point if your life.
A high risk is something that can bring you in,  or do you over, something that can make you or break you,  something that can make you crash or rise like a shooting star,  it is something that can tear your life apart or take you to somewhere you have never been before. 

It is easy to talk yourself out of freedom. It is easy for you to adjust to your pain and your frustration and say everyone has to live with something.  Do you really have to?  Or are you choosing to?  Because you don't have the courage to take the high risk.  Don't allow other people to convince you that the risk is not worth it!
Life shrinks or expands in proportion with one's courage.  All our major battles are won Within ourselves or lost within ourselves.

Making a big life change is scary,  but what is even scarier is regret. Did you learn from your past when your formal opportunity passed ?

The woman showed the courage to face her fears,  the courage to face the high risk,  and the courage to own her own actions. When she touched Jesus, he felt something. 
Every one that is touching you,  isn't Necessarily TOUCHING YOU.
When she touched him Jesus said who touched me.  He said I know somebody touched me,  BECAUSE I FELT SOMETHING
Everyone was reaching for Jesus,  but not touching him.
Courage is not the absence of fear.  It is the ability to act in the presence of fear.
Never apologize for your quest for freedom.  Hope is wishing something will happen,  faith is believing something will happen,  courage is making that thing happen.
The courage became the legs in which faith worked through the door.  You don't need more hope or faith,  you need more courage to act on What you say you believe or hope for.

Normality in Abnormality Part 4

Thank you for following up the series... Our Bible reference is Proverbs 25 Lesson 4: Proverbs 25:11-14 Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket. 25:12   Valid criticism is as treasured by the one who heeds it as jewelry made from finest gold. 25:13   Faithful messengers are as refreshing as snow in the heat of summer. They revive the spirit of their employer. 25:14   A person who doesn't give a promised gift is like clouds and wind that don't bring rain. Don't talk too much. Talk when it is right.  An idea well expressed is like a design of gold set in silver.  There is power in communication.  Make sure your words are wisely chosen lest you begin to sound like a fool.  When you speak good words at the right time, your words would be appreciated. Communication is not based on the amount of words one might say,  but the timing of what one says. There is no better blessing than when someone who is inexperienced listens and adheres to a

If God had no TIME.....

I saw this poem,  and it struck me to share I knelt to pray but not for long I had to much to do as the year ends I had to hurry and get to work For bills that would soon be due So I knelt down and said a hurried prayer And jumped up off my knees My Christian duty was now done My soul could now rest at ease All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends They'd laugh at me I'd fear 2016 ending!  No time,  no time,  too much to do That was my constant cry But at last the time,  the time to die I went before the Lord I came;  I stood with downcast eyes For in his hands God held a book It was the book of life God looked into his Book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down.... But never found the time. " Wow.  This is an amazing poem.  Imagine if God had no time. We most times procrastinate a lot,  saying no time,  no time.  But where did time really go.  We all have th

The Chronicles of Acts 4....

The chronicles of Acts 4 The fact that people are persecuted because of the Gospel,  isn't something new. When you are talking about a higher power or a higher authority,  people who can't do anything about it, because that thing is higher than them,  yet they don't want to come under it's authority,  would look for ways to stop you. No matter how the people want to stop Gods word from manifesting,  Gods word always gets delivered to whoever it is sent. Acts 4:4. Through the arrest of Peter and John,  there was an opportunity for the message of God to be spread directly to the members of the council.  Acts 4:12-13. In the case of Peter and John,  they we're arrested.  That might not be the case in the world of today.  You might get humiliated and disgraced,  but know that no matter their schemes,  Gods authority surpasses them all. God allows some things to happen in the present because of a manifestation in the future.  Acts 4:10-11. Jesus was crucif
