Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Mark 5:25, 28-30 (TPT)
Now, in the crowd that day was a woman who had suffered horribly from continual bleeding for twelve years. For she kept saying to herself, “If only I could touch His clothes, I know I will be healed.” As soon as her hand touched Him, her bleeding immediately stopped! She knew it, for she could feel her body instantly being healed of her disease! Jesus knew at once that someone had touched Him, for He felt the power that always surged around Him had passed through Him for someone to be healed. He turned and spoke to the crowd, saying, “Who touched my clothes?”
Power always surged around Jesus like a whirlwind…
Let’s look at the footnotes in The Passion Translation… “This is a literal reading of a unique phrase in Greek construction. There was a glorious power that kept going out around Jesus Christ, drawing others to Him and healing those He touched, and in this case, healing a woman who touched Him in faith. Jesus knew that the power of God was always emanating around Him, yet it had flowed through Him to someone in the crowd. This same miracle was repeated with Peter in Acts 5:15.”
In Acts chapter 5 it says that when people knew Peter was going to walk by, they carried the sick out to the streets and laid them down on cots and mats, knowing the incredible power emanating from him would overshadow them and heal them. Great numbers of people swarmed into Jerusalem from the nearby villages. They brought with them the sick and those troubled by demons—and everyone was healed!
As with Jesus, the power of God swirled around Peter, and great numbers of people were healed as they passed through Peter’s shadow. As with Jesus and Peter, you can, and should have the power of God always emanating around you like a whirlwind!
As you drink of Jesus through the Holy Spirit and the living Word, you will be filled with the Holy Ghost POWER and fire… rivers of living waters will flow from your innermost being and begin to emanate and swirl around you, ready to be imparted to people in need. Meditate upon the Word, pray in the spirit, and worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth… step into the realms of the spirit and then drink of Him until you begin to ‘leak’ His glorious power, in Jesus Name!… as Holy Ghost power begins to overflow from your innermost being, it will encircle you like a whirlwind and miracles will happen everywhere you go!
Blessings on you, in His amazing love, Nick
