How to seek Jesus' healing today?
How can we apply the example of seeking Jesus' healing power in our lives?

The Scene at Luke 6:19

“and the people all tried to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.”

• A literal crowd pressing in on the Lord—ordinary people with real pain.

• Healing power flowed the moment they made contact with Him.

• The verse shows two actions: they reached out, and He released power.


Recognizing Our Need

• Every one of us bears wounds—physical, emotional, spiritual (Psalm 147:3).

• Admitting need is never weakness; it is the doorway to divine strength (2 Corinthians 12:9).

• Like the multitudes, we must get honest about what is broken and bring it into His light.


Touching the Source

• Faith’s touch moves the power of Christ (Mark 5:27-29).

• Jesus remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8); His healing power has not diminished.

• We do not manipulate God, but we position ourselves under His hand by trusting His Word.


Obstacles to Reaching Out

• Pride—“I can manage this myself.”

• Doubt—“Maybe He heals others, not me.”

• Shame—“I caused my own mess; why would He help?”

• Distraction—busyness keeps hands full so they cannot reach.


Practical Ways to Draw Near Today

Daily Scripture Intake

– Open the Gospels and “touch” the living Christ through His recorded works (John 20:31).

– Memorize promises of healing and restoration (Psalm 103:2-3).

Persistent Prayer

– Come boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).

– Keep asking, seeking, knocking (Matthew 7:7-8).

Corporate Worship and Fellowship

– Gather where Jesus walks among His lampstands (Revelation 2:1).

– Allow brothers and sisters to lay hands in faith (James 5:14-15).

Obedient Lifestyle

– Healing often accompanies repentance and obedience (John 5:14).

– Let every step align with His commands, removing footholds of the enemy.

Communion and Remembrance

– The bread and cup proclaim the body broken and blood shed for wholeness (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Corinthians 11:24-26).


Living as Channels of His Healing

• Once touched, we become touch-bearers—His hands extended (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

• Speak life-giving words, pray for the sick, practice mercy.

• The same power that flowed out of Christ now works through His Spirit in us (Acts 1:8).
