THE GARMENT OR THE FAITH?

Let us consider Matthew 9:20-22:

And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

THE FINAL MANTLE

Sometimes I wonder if the possibility of evil will be not probable at all. But it appears that there is an established fact that this very age would not cease to witness the possibility of the occurrence of any form of evil probable. There is a probability of evil happening but is there a way where the possibility of this probability would be zero? Certainly, as far as this present age is concerned all probable evils are palpable.

6 CHARACTERISTICS OF PERSISTENT PEOPLE

Scripture Reading: Luke 11:5-8

And He said to them, “Suppose one of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and from inside he shall answer and say,’ Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.” 
I  have so much been blessed by this very scripture. It teaches about persistence. How to persist till all resistances are broken is the message here. Life has innumerable stumbling blocks, blurry answers, inaccessible possibilities, hard-to-solve puzzles, problematic choices and unforeseen circumstances. And thus reflects the old adage “Survival of the fittest”. Everything is such that you ought to be fit in other to survive. “Fitness”, I would say is not a six-pack, but a characteristic of “persistence”.
