If I may touch but his clothes…

EXPECTANCY: “The Master’s Touch”

“If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole” (Mark 5:28).

Expectancy is defined as the state of thinking or hoping that something, usually pleasant, will happen. It is the anticipatory belief or desire of something that is expected.

“Expectancy is the atmosphere for miracles. “A lady who is expecting in the natural indicates that a birth is forthcoming. Truly, childbirth is a miracle … a new creation. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:28 expected a miracle. If she touched Jesus with expectancy, then surely she knew that He would touch her with a miracle.

Humans possess five natural senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. “Touch” places us in direct contact with our world. When we touch something, we become closely involved with it. We touch thousands of things every day in our lives without even thinking about it. We touch objects. We can even effect change in the objects or even the people we touch. But there is nothing much more powerful than the touch of God!

Jesus touched a leper, and he was healed. His touch changed “Jacob” (deceiver) into “Israel” (A prince having power with God). His touch changed Moses from a murderer to a leader. His touch can remove sicknesses. His touch can raise the dead. His touch can heal blinded eyes. His touch can unstop deaf ears. His touch can lift the down and out. His touch can change us on the inside. His touch can make all things well on the outside!

If you are expecting, then God desires to birth something new and great in your life! Are you seeking God with EXPECTANCY? Touch God with your prayer, and He will touch you with His power!
