… doesn't feel good. The woman who had an issue of blood, she had it for 12 years. And according to Levitical law, because she had an issue of blood, she wasn't supposed to be around people. the bible says that if she sat in a chair they had to place the chair outside she laid down on a mattress they had to put the mattress outside she was not supposed to be around people for 12 years i want you to take off your walt disney interpretation of text And I want you to consider that for 12 years, she was not touched. For 12 years, nobody hugged her. For 12 years, nobody held her hand. For 12 years, she had to lay in the bed by herself. So for 12 years, dealing with the issue of blood, the Bible then drops in and says she thought to herself, watch how she thinks, after not being connected, not having any touch, not having any intimacy, after 12 years, she says, if I can touch the him, H-E-M. …
… Let the priest lay hands on him. But there was a woman who had an issue of blood. And the Bible says she thought to herself. I can't wait for nobody to lay hands on me. If I can just touch the hem of his garment, I feel like something is getting ready to happen on the inside of me. Elbow your neighbor, tell him you just need to try something. What is the risk when everything else you done tried ain't worked? So you might as well go for broke this time and try something. Sitting there with your arms folded and legs crossed ain't got you nowhere. But there's somebody that looks crazy to you who are screaming and jumping in church and you think they're crazy. But what you don't know is why they're screaming. Their rent is getting paid. Why they giving them glory. Their blood pressure is going down. Why are they lifting him up? God is turning that child upside down. It might look crazy to you, but you ought to try something that when the praises go up, then the blessings... …
… You got to touch him. There was a woman who had an issue of blood and she had it for 12 years. and she thought to herself, if I can just touch the hem of his garment. Y'all don't like the Bible. And the Bible says, what says in chapter eight, verse 45, when she touched him, he stopped and said, who touched me? Hallelujah.

When I'm praising God, I'm sending glory to heaven. But when I worship God, I'm bringing heaven down to the earth. …

She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak because, she thought, if I just touch his clothes, I'll be healed. Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, who touched my clothes? You see people crowding against you, his disciples answered, and yet you ask, who touched me? But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. And then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and trembled with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering. And while Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. Your daughter is dead, they said. …
