A-List: The Desperate - The Woman With The Issue of Blood

Have you ever felt desperate? Whether you need help in finances, provision, health, or any other area of life, desperation can lead you to do unusual and sometimes unflattering things. In first-century Palestine, certian medical issues resulted in some of the most vulnerable because they were left without legal rights or a way to provide for themselves. The woman with the issue of blood was so desperate that she relentlessly pushed through the crowd to get a touch from Jesus. Having nothing left to loose, She refused to take “no” for an answer and ultimately prevails. Jesus uses her story to encourage believers to be persistent and unwavering in their faith. Her desperate faith moved the heart of God.  The Father values the desperate - Do you?
