The Touch of Jesus
Matthew 9:20 – 22
And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
There are several points I want to make about this passage
The woman never touched Jesus. She touched something that was touching Jesus. The Anointing is a transferable substance that manifests in the presence of the Holy Spirit. The anointing is a substance that can be felt, given and received. The Greek word aleipho, is one translation of the word which means actually means oil. Oil is a very smooth and slippery substance that glides easily from point to another. Warm oil is very pleasant and soothing. The anointing manifests as the presence of God manifests.
Demons are scared and run when they begin to sense the tangible presence of God. In the case of the woman with the issue of blood the spirit of infirmity and sickness and disease fled and she was instantly healed of a 12-year sickness.
“And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.”
– 1Samuel 16:23
The Holy Spirit is an actual living being who occupies space. As the presence of the Holy Spirit increases so does the anointing. Within minutes the atmosphere of a room can change as the Holy Spirit begins to manifests. As the Holy Spirit manifests his presence begins to be felt and the anointing, or the power of God comes along with it.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
– Acts 1:8
The Holy Spirit is drawn to worship. As we invite the Holy Spirit into our home and into our hearts He will always take us up on our offer and his presence will begin to invade the room. The tangible presence of God will manifests and evil spirits will begin to fear and run. The bible says “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” – John 12:32.
Pray and Ask the Holy Spirit to invade your home right now. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself in a greater way than you have ever experienced before.
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
