Luke 8:46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”(NKJ)

I am sure that at one time in your Christian walk, you wanted the person with the strongest anointing to lay hands on you in hopes of receiving the overflow.

I was the kind that wanted the anointing anytime I could get it. That  was when I was still a young believer and thought that if someone prayed and layed hands on me, that I could flow like them. I was not willing to put the effort into receiving anything for myself.

Praise the Lord for maturity and growth!  Understanding this verse better, the woman with the issue of blood could have sent someone to Jesus, so that He could visit her. She was not permitted to be out of her home, as she risked death in doing so.

This determined woman believed that all she had to do was touch Jesus, she would be healed.  Many of us don´t have the discipline to reach out to Jesus and ask Him for His anointing on our lives.  We want others to pray for us, like the old me, receive it without any effort and walk away.  Well it just does not work that way, sorry.

We can, by ourselves, reach out to Jesus and receive directly from Him all that we ask. Do you desire for a spiritual gift, reach out and ask.  What about a stronger anointing?  reach out and ask. 

Believe that you are reaching for Jesus, with all your might, power and your spirit. While you are reaching for Jesus, have your Spirit pull down the anointing that is available to you from the Father of lights, and as you touch Him, power will go out from Jesus directly into you.
