Hi steemians, there is a popular story we've all read or heard about somehow: it's about a woman in the Bible; The woman with the issue of blood.
[[source]](https://https://pixabay.com/en/book-gold-bible-education-read-3005680/
And a certain woman which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things from 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 straight away the fountain of the 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? Mark5:25-30KJV
And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. Verse 32
Now, looking at that verses critically,the woman didn't want to have anything to do with Jesus, she just wanted to touch his clothes, get healed and secretly move away from the crowd.
Observing the faith of that woman, I can say has but a little faith but she believed merely touching his clothes should heal her:may be because of what she had heard about Jesus or something else, I wouldn't know.
She has suffered many things from many physicians:they might have asked her to eat series of concortions,bow to their god or even made sacrifices to them.
We can call the woman a sinner considering what she would have done due to her situation.
Coming to the woman, she didn't want to know Jesus personally neither does she want Jesus to know her, so she thought in her heart 'I should be healed without talking to this man',simply put, she wanted to steal virtue from Jesus Christ without getting caught.
What could have made her do that?
First; she doesn't want to be embarrassed by the masses.
Second; she doesn't want to delay Jesus from to jairus house to heal his daughter (she thought her healing will take time).
Third; she was not very sure if she would be healed by just touching His clothes.
But unfortunately, she got arrested by Jesus when he asked 'Who touched my clothes?' His disciples thought Jesus was crazy, but Jesus knew his virtue has healed someone .
Great fear downed on the woman for she didn't know what Jesus would do to her or maybe she thought Jesus is like other physicians,trembling,she fell down before him and started confessing.
My point is, for us to get healing, deliverance, breakthrough or anything from Jesus, we must first believe he can do it because he that something to God must believe that he is and that he is the rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrew11:6.
Believing in Him will push you to have faith in Him,then your faith will make you whole.
I don't want to talk about faith today I'm talking about believing in Him.

There is nothing like imperfect faith or small faith when you believe in Him that can do all things, he said 'if you have faith as a grain of a mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;and it shall be removed and nothing shall be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20KJV

If having faith as little as mustard seed could move a mountain, how efficient and powerful would would having faith as a drum of oil be?
God knows out capability, more reason he asks us to even try and have faith like mustard.
Welcome once again @raretreasure. You're gonna be great here. Patience and persistence are the keys.
Yeah, thanks man.
