TOPIC: DON’T CHICKEN OUT, THERE IS A WAY OUT
TEXT: LUKE 8: 43-44 - And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood.
In our previous lesson, we learned that every challenge or difficulty has a time limit and will not last forever. In fact, 2 Corinthians 4:18 teaches that affliction is both light and temporary. This means that troubles are not meant to destroy or take your life; they have an appointed end. No matter the situation, there is always a way out and a season when it will come to an end.
Our text above speaks about a woman who suffered from an issue of blood for twelve long years. That was a very long period of suffering and pain. She had spent all she had, moving from one physician to another in search of healing, yet her condition remained unchanged. However, one day she chose to place her trust in Jesus and acted in faith. She reached out and touched the edge of His garment, and instantly her healing manifested.
Another example is the man in John 5:1–8 who had been crippled and suffered with an infirmity for thirty-eight years. That was an extremely long season to remain in such a condition. He told Jesus that he had no one to help him into the pool whenever the water was stirred. Perhaps that reflects your situation today—you may feel abandoned, with no one available to support or assist you. Yet, the moment he encountered Jesus, his story changed completely and he received total healing. In the same way, you may presently be facing challenges—whether spiritual, financial, marital, economic, psychological, or perhaps you are waiting on God for a divine visitation.
There is no situation too difficult for God to change or transform, as declared in Jeremiah 32:27; “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” God is Almighty, and with Him nothing is impossible. He has the power to do all things, and the only limits to His power are those He places upon Himself according to His will and purpose. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and He never becomes weak or weary. There is no such thing as impossibility with God, because no situation is beyond His ability to handle.
No matter the situation or challenge you may be facing, God is making a way out for you even now, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Don’t chicken out!

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
Prayer:
1. Father, I thank you, every affliction of the devil and his agents against my life is put to an end.
2. I receive renewed passion and fresh zeal to remain close to Your Word and to be firmly planted in Your house, serving faithfully and bringing glory to Your name, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
