Somebody reading this, you need Jesus to touch. When the Lord ministered here on earth, he healed and restored to the afflicted by simply touching them. When Jesus touched Peter's mother, "the fever left her." He touched the coffin of a young died and he returned to life. Jesus touched the blind eyes and they could see. He touched the ear of a deaf, and he could hear. Parents brought their children to Jesus to touch them. " His gentle touch changed everything. Multitudes brought their sick, and Jesus took the time to reach out, touch them, heal them.
If you truly know the Lord intimately, you have known and felt the touch of the hand of Jesus. In times of loneliness, times of discouragement in times of confusion, so painful and uncertain times, you cried from the depths of his soul: "Lord Jesus, I need your touch. I need to feel your presence. See Jesus and touch my thirsty soul. "
Some need a touch of Jesus on their minds. Satan has come with his evil principalities to harass and burden the mind with thoughts that are hellish - unbelieving thoughts, thoughts that do not make us like Christ, fearful thoughts, thoughts of unworthiness, thoughts of God's displeasure. Honest believers will tell you they have experienced these attacks on their minds. Satan is determined to destroy our faith and dependence upon the Lord.
In the Scriptures, touch of Jesus came in response to a clamor. There is no evidence that he ever rejected a lament. And he will not give back to him but mercifully respond to your needs. In Matthew 8 we read of a leper came to him saying, Lord, if you can make me clean. "Jesus reached out and touched him saying," I will, be thou clean. "" And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. "
Find a place alone with Jesus today and tell him what the leper said, "Lord, you can. Cleanse me. "Then the expectation is that no respecter of persons will touch and heal the mind, body, soul and spirit. The Lord's arm is outstretched to you but he waits for that cry of need, the cry for help that is also a cry of expectation.
"And the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us and laid upon us hard bondage. And cry unto the Lord God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our labor and our oppression, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders , and brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey "(Deuteronomy 26:6-9).
