Arise into Faith

When Jesus uttered the words arise, he knew exactly what level of pain he was dealing with - The woman with the blood issue. We dont know her name. Blind Bartmeaus also not his name was determined to arise out of his blindness so much so he sought the Lord despite everyone trying to stop him.The voices of those people on the street would not block Bartimeaus. He was already given a name which was not even his. They had to start from somewhere with faith. Is it possible he was labelled without them knowing his deeper determination to meet Jesus at his point of need?. Maybe they found out his real name after he got healed. Either way,the faith he held onto healed him.

Numerous others again, with no names sought Jesus including the woman in the synagogue who was bent over for 18 years but still kept going to the church. She knew why she kept going. I can only imagine that she had FAITH. Faith is not always evident - The assuarance of things revealed and promised in the WORD are true even though unseen and gives the believer a conviction that he expects in faith will come to pass".

The woman with infirmity held on for 18 years. She was healed and arose out of her infirmity.Two of these individuals were unseen for very long even in other words no one ever believed they would arise out of their predicament but they believed in Jesus and by faith they were healed.The woman with the blood issue was another one with exceptional faith. For many they would not be where they are today they would have given up. I see tremendous strength in these biblical people as it was all illnesses and a physical affliction. How did they cope with illness for years and continue with daily life if not because of faith.

So, by faith and in time like the bent woman waited on the Lord, kept coming to the synagogue possibly in physical pain and emotionally affected,her continuous works of faith paid off. That was her work of faith which led to her healing.
I testify as one who underwent three or four mini strokes with a heart procedure and I know that I am a walking miracle like these bible people halelluyah!.Without faith in the Lords healing hand?.The Lords healing hand is alive today through faith as it was in those days of blind Bartimeaus,the woman in the synagogue and the woman with the blood issue.They battled through the years daily for their health but surely it was not their own strength. You shall not battle with your own strength - Praise the Lord.
The woman with the blood issue for 12 years was not not only in bleeding but in excruciating pain and was told by Jesus, "Go your faith has healed you". Faith brought her to a place of healing by his grace. No one except maybe those close to them saw the emotional scars attached to the physical afflictions of these individuals. Physically challenging conditions and some illnesses come with emotional scars that are known only to the person fighting them. Arent we thankful that, Jesus in his own mercy understood these peoples pain even though that element is not discussed in the bible. Jesus was very emotional by nature he saw through peoples pain but he silently healed the unseen ones. Jesus did not make them feel inferior due to their illnesses,he accepted them as they were. Haleluyah.

I pray for someone and encourage anyone that, the Lord will meet you at your point of need. 12 and 18 years are long to be in bend over physically and walk in that state, to be blind and to hemorrhage and be in pain. No time is too long or short for him it is in his own time he manifests but he does.He is a silently working God and he shall not delay unduly. He is a promise keeper.
Psalm30:2 Oh Lord my God L cried unto thee and you healed me.
