"And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea. And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."
This lesson gives us yet another example of the healing power that is awarded to those who place their faith in Jesus. The woman mentioned in today's quote had tried every remedy she could find and nothing had helped her, she had faith that if she could just make personal contact with Jesus, He would heal her body. Jesus didn't see the woman touch His clothes but He felt that the "virtue had gone out of him" therefore He knew what the woman had touched Him.
Jesus is no longer physically present today, but He is still with us in the form of His Holy Spirit. His awesome healing power is still very much available to us simply for the faithful asking. All we have to do to heal whatever ails us and to assure ourselves an eternity in heaven, is to reach out to the saving power of Jesus through prayer placing all our faith in the risen Jesus Christ. Once we have done that, if its God's will that our ailments should be healed, they most certainly will be healed. "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"(Matthew 21:22)

When we give ourselves over to Christ in faith, at that very moment, we are assured eternal life having our spirit sealed by the Holy Spirit. "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30)
Once we have placed our faith in Jesus, we are no longer capable of committing the sins that would otherwise condemn us. "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1 John 3:9)~
