What is your "issue of blood?" Christ will save you

Believers, the woman with the issue of blood had done her best to get healed with no success. Her sickness only got worse! But her encounter with Christ changed her life forever. She went to Him in her unclean state, empty of works, with no fasting, no seed sown, no law, nothing but her believing what she heard about Jesus: "This Man heals freely with no terms and conditions attached."

If a sharp Pharisee had noticed her in the crowd, she would have been stoned to death. But she had her encounter with Christ and was never the same again. She was delivered from the very thing that made her a pariah; the very thing that made her unclean; the very thing that disqualified her from coming into His presence to receive from Him.

What is your own "issue of blood" today? Is it "not loving God," road rage, porn addiction, fear, worry, adultery, sickness, inferiority/superiority complex, rudeness, fornication, lack, poverty, envy, discontentment, barrenness, a hot temper, uncontrollable anger, disease, drug addiction, depression, stress, low IQ, your kids' poor grades at school or even double-mindedness about "what these grace people are saying?" Take everything to our Saviour today. No need to clean yourself before He gives you His own blood-bought gift of righteousness. You can't even, because our own righteousnesses with which we clean ourselves are like menstrual rags according to Isaiah. No one can be made righteous in God's sight by doing what the law commands according to Romans 3:20.

Like the woman with the issue of blood, come to Him as you are and He will make you clean. He will give you His Shalom (Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility.) Keeping the law to get right with God will only cut one off from Christ, as it would have the unclean woman if she had continued in her futile effort to make herself clean before going to receive her miracle; as it is written in Galatians 5:4 -
"For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace."

Believer in Christ, you are God's beloved. Think what you wouldn't do for your own kids. How much more our Father in heaven who gave His Son to die for us! See the Father's love for you!

As it was with the woman with the issue of blood, when you come to Him with nothing but your believing in Him, He will deliver you from whatever it is that makes you unclean. You will not remain in sin.

Believe Right and you will Live Righ

How does one partake of the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner?

How do you partake of the Holy Communion in an unworthy manner and eat and drink judgment to yourself? The bible says there is none righteous, no, not one, so it is definitely not by partaking when you're not 'righteous' as is being preached in many churches today! No one is righteous on their own. 1 Corinthians 11: 29 says it's by "...not discerning the Lord's body." The bible says in 1 Cor 11:30 that "for this reason, many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep." Notice that it is for the singular reason of "not discerning the Lord's body" and not because you committed some sin before partaking. With Christ as our righteousness and forsaking that which is borne of works of the law, we are righteous in God's eyes 100% because "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ." 2 Corinthians 5:21. Bear in mind that without God's gift of righteous

Repentance - what is it?

When many of us believers think of the word Repentance, we think "feeling really bad because we sinned," "promising God that we will stop sinning," and "making the decision to live a holy life from now on." But did you notice that there is no Saviour Jesus in this equation? It all rests on you. Jesus does not do anything here. This is a Judas kind of repentance - towards self and not towards God. This is repentance to death and not repentance to life. The Parable of the Lost Sheep shows us what true repentance is - a gift from God. Luke 15: 4 - 7 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that li

What does it mean to be a "neither cold nor hot" Christian?

Before his conversion, Saul was very zealous for God, upholding the Law and ensuring that anyone who believed that Jesus Christ has fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law in all who believe landed in jail. Like his fellow Pharisees, his righteousness depended on his ability to keep the Law. His life and his ministry was all about "Thou shall not" and "Thou shall"... or else judgment, as it is with many who profess to believe in our Saviour Jesus today! Believers, don't be deceived! If you think that it is your various fasts, trips to some mountain, church donations and vigils and almost-strict observance of the Ten Commandments that makes God pleased with you or bless you, you are worse off than pre-conversion Paul and his fellow Pharisees whom Christ referred to as a "brood of vipers." What such people get in return for their self-righteousness is being cut off from Christ, according to Galatians 5:4 "For if you are trying to make
