Introduction
The story of the woman with the issue of blood can be found in and . Though neither account is very long, Mark’s account provides a few more details than Luke’s.
The story of this woman takes place within a larger story. Jesus is on his way to a synagogue leader’s house to heal his dying daughter (see ) when an unnamed woman causes an interruption to His progress.

JESUS RESTORES A SUFFERING WOMAN (5:25–34)
JESUS RESTORES A SUFFERING WOMAN (5:25–34)
A. Her disease (5:25–26)
A. Her disease (5:25–26)
The description (5:25) : For twelve years she has suffered from internal bleeding.
The deterioration (5:26) : Her condition is worsening.
POINT - the more she looked to man the worse her condition became. THE MORE WE LOOK TO MAN RATHER THAN GOD THE MORE OUR CONDITIONS WILL BECOME WORSE.
.because we live in a fallen and broken world, we are all suffering with a whole in our hears that can only be filled by Jesus. The more we turn to the world, the more painful the hole becomes:
seeking money
fame,
cars
relationships
drugs
sex
multiple jobs
B. Her determination (5:27–28): She fights her way through a crowd and touches Jesus’ cloak, believing this will heal her!
B. Her determination (5:27–28): She fights her way through a crowd and touches Jesus’ cloak, believing this will heal her!
The Bible says that she has "an issue of blood". This means that she is hemorrhaging from some place in her body.
What ever the source of her bleeding was, it was a condition that literally ruined her life.
Under the Law, ; , this woman was to be considered unclean. Anything or anyone that she touched was also considered unclean.
She could not mingle with people in public, lest she cause them to be defiled.
She could not go to the Women's Court of the Temple, because she was unclean.
She could not be married, because she would defile her husband.
She could not go to the Women's Court of the Temple, because she was unclean. She could not be married, because she would defile her husband. If she had ever been married, her husband would have been forced to divorce her. She could not work around others because of the danger of defilement. This reduced her to a life of begging scraps of food from a distant. Her condition left her on the fringes of society.

C. Her deliverance (5:29–34)
C. Her deliverance (5:29–34)
The cure (5:29) : Immediately her bleeding stops.
The concern (5:30–32): Turning around, Jesus wants to know who has touched him.
SUBPOINT - In all that crowd of people, only two experienced the exchange: the woman who touched and Jesus who received the touch. WHEN WE REACH OUT TO JESUS HE FEELS OUR NEEDS
The confession (5:33) : The woman acknowledges to Jesus that she touched him.
The commendation (5:34) : Jesus reassures the woman that her faith has brought about her healing!
Healing

4 Pillars of Walking in Divine Healing
4 Pillars of Walking in Divine Healing
God wants us healed
God has already paid the price
God wants us to be persistent for our healing
God wants us to fight for our healing
1. GOD WANTS US TO BE HEALED
1. GOD WANTS US TO BE HEALED
Is it God’s will to heal His children?
Consider this. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, as we’ve seen, He told them to ask that God’s will would be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Would you expect to find sickness, disease, and suffering in heaven?
Of course not!
So if it is not God’s will for people to be sick in heaven, how can anyone think it could be God’s will for anyone to be sick on earth?
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
IF GOD EVER HEALED ANYBODY, THEN HE WILL HEAL ME
2. THE PRICE FOR OUR HEALING HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID
2. THE PRICE FOR OUR HEALING HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID
If we believe in salvation - Christ’s sacrifice on the cross to forgive our sins - then we must believe in healing because Christ also bore our sicknesses
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
The price was paid for our HEALING as well as our SALVATION
The same Christ who said, “Arise, and take up thy bed” also said, “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee”—to the very same man (, KJV.).
If you need to be saved—forgiven of your sins—Jesus died for you.
If you need healing for some sickness or disease that has attacked your body, Jesus died for you.
3. BE PERSISTENT IN SEEKING TO BE HEALED
3. BE PERSISTENT IN SEEKING TO BE HEALED
Pray without ceasing ()
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
4. FIGHT FOR OUR HEALING
4. FIGHT FOR OUR HEALING
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
We must rise up against the darkness, against principalities, against powers,
how do we engage in this kind of warfare?
Guard our thoughts and our words
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
One Touch
v.24 people were following and pressing / v.28 the woman was Touching
POINT - THE CHURCH IS FILLED WITH: SINNERS, SITE-SEERS AND SEEKERS. TRUE SEEKERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO TOUCH JESUS
v.34 - Jesus addresses her as a woman of mature and courageous faith. “Daughter, your faith has made you well” (v. 34), is a commendation of honor that Jesus reserves especially for her. As a bonus, then, He adds two blessings:
“Go in peace” (v. 34), which puts an end to a twelve-year search for wholeness;
and “be healed of your affliction” (v. 34), which assures her that the disease is gone forever.
jer
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
phil 4 19
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
