Woman thou are Loosed!
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. Luke 13:11-13
The text says that this woman “could in no way raise herself up”.
That tells me no matter what she did, what she tried, who she got help from, etc., she was unable to fix the spirit of infirmity that she suffered with.
But when Jesus laid His hands on her, she was “immediately” made straight.
We are a self-sufficient society.
We have the knowledge, the experience and the means, for the most part, to take care of ourselves. We often feel like Jesus has nothing to offer.
We have it taken care of.
I’m here to tell you today that no matter how self-sufficient we believe we are every one of us have some area in our lives in which we can “in no way raise ourselves up”.
We need the touch of Jesus in that area of our life to bring a “straightening”.
No matter who or what you have to “take care of things”, let me tell you today, there is nothing like the touch of Jesus on your life!
There are whole new levels and dimensions to be had when we truly get into the presence of the Lord! Self-sufficiency is not all that it is cracked up to be.
Reach out today – He is waiting on you!
Question for Discussion:
Do you have an area of your life that you feel “self-sufficient” in? How is that working for you?
