  1. OUR TESTIMONIES: GOD’S DELIGHT Women’s Ministries Emphasis Day June, 2012 Witten by Helen B. Gulfan General Conference Womens Ministries Department

  2. “Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed.”Luke 8:47, (NIV)

  3. Her story is in Matthew 9:20-22, Mark 5:25-34, and Luke 8:43-48. And an entire chapter in Desire of Ages, “The Touch of Faith,” is dedicated to it.

  4. I. Desperation (Her Need) Her story occurs on the same day as Jairus’ entreaty to Jesus. His daughter was dying, and the frantic, anxious, loving father was in great haste.

  5. Then a poor woman enters the picture. She too had a desperate need. Having heard about this man, Jesus, who accepts people regardless of who they are, she came and followed Him

  6. II. Determination (Her Faith) “Her hopes revived when she heard of the cures that Christ performed. She felt assured that if she could only go to Him she would be healed.” Desire of Ages, p. 343

  7. “If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.”Mark 5:28

  8. What a great faith in Jesus!

  9. III. Deliverance (Her Healing) “The golden opportunity had come. She was in the presence of the Great Physician! But amid the confusion she could not speak to Him, nor catch more than a passing glimpse of His figure. Fearful of losing her one chance of relief, she pressed forward….

  10. “As He was passing, she reached forward, and succeeded in barely touching the border of His garment. But in that moment she knew that she was healed.”Desire of Ages, p. 343

  11. IV. Declaration (Her Testimony and God’s Response) “Instantly, Jesus realized that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’” Mark 5:30

  12. “Jesus answered, ‘Somebody hath touched Me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me’.” Desire of Ages, p. 344

  13. What really touches Me? He is touched by… • Our Poverty • Our Infirmities or Illness • Our Sadness • Our Sins

  14. “Looking at the woman, Jesus insisted on knowing who had touched Him.” Desire of Ages, p. 344

  15. Her Testimony

  16. “Jesus touched me…me… And He made me whole!

  17. “He Touched Me” Shackled by a heavy burden, ‘Neath a load of guilt and shame. Then the hand of Jesus touched me, And now I am no longer the same.

  18. Chorus He touched me. Yes, He touched me, And oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened and now I know, He touched me and made me whole.

  19. Since I met this blessed Savior, Since He cleansed and made me whole, I will never cease to praise Him. I’ll shout it while eternity rolls.

  20. Chorus He touched me. Yes, He touched me, And oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened and now I know, He touched me and made me whole.

  21. “It is for our own benefit to keep every gift of God fresh in our memory. Thus faith is strengthenedto claim and receive more and more…. The soul that responds to the grace of God shall be like a watered garden.

  22. “His health shall spring forth speedily; his light shall rise in obscurity; and the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon him. Let us then remember the loving-kindness of the Lord, and the multitude of His tender mercies.” Desire of Ages, p. 348

  23. Let everything that has breath PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 150:6 Praise The Lord!
