WE EXALT THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!

We all have needs, whether we are believers or not. We struggle with issues every now and then and need solutions to them all the time. For any believer, if we really seek the Lord wholeheartedly (meaning with everything that we have and in a most sincere manner), we will find the Lord in the midst of whatever we are going through. The Bible says that we will find Him when we search for Him. He is only a prayer away....

WE EXALT THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!
by David Wilkerson

Somebody reading this needs a touch from Jesus. When the Lord ministered here
on earth, he went about healing and restoring the afflicted by simply touching
them. When Jesus touched Peter’s mother, “the fever left her.” He touched
the box casket of a dead child, and the boy came to life. He touched the eyes of
blind people, and they could see. He touched the ear of a deaf man, who could
suddenly hear. Parents brought their children to Jesus “that he should touch
them.” His gentle touch changed everything. Multitudes brought their sick and
infirm, and Jesus took the time to reach out and touch them all, healing them.

If you truly know the Lord intimately, you have known and felt the touch of the
hand of Jesus. In times of loneliness, times of discouragement, times of
confusion, times so painful and uncertain, you cried out from the depth of your
soul: “Lord Jesus, I need your touch. I need to feel your presence. Come,
Jesus, and touch my thirsting soul.”

Some need a touch of Jesus upon their mind. Satan has come with his wicked
principalities to harass and overburden the mind with thoughts that are hellish
– unbelieving thoughts, unChristlike thoughts, fearful thoughts, thoughts of
unworthiness, thoughts of God’s displeasure. Honest believers will tell you
they have experienced these attacks on their mind. Satan is determined to
destroy our faith and dependence on the Lord.

In Scripture, the touch of Jesus came in answer to a cry. There is no evidence
he ever ignored or rejected such a cry. And he will not turn away from your
cry, but will mercifully respond to your need. In Matthew 8 we read of a leper
coming to him, saying, “Lord, if thou will, thou canst make me clean.”
Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be thou clean.
And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”

Find a place alone with Jesus today, and say to him what the leper said:
“Lord, you are able. Make me clean.” Then expect that he who is no
respecter of persons will touch and heal you, in mind, body, soul and spirit.
The arm of the Lord is outstretched to you, but he waits for that cry of need,
the cry for help that is also a cry of expectancy.

“And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard
bondage; and when we cried unto the Lord God of our father, the Lord heard our
voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: and
the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an
outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with
wonders: and he that brought us into this place, and hath given us this land,
even a land that floweth with milk and honey” (Deuteronomy 26:6-9).
