THE POWER OF HIS TOUCH
HUMANS HAVE 5 SENSES
SIGHT, HEARING, TASTE, SMELL AND TOUCH
THE SENCE OF TOUCH IS WHAT PLACES US INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH OUR WORLD.
WHEN WE TOUCH SOMETHING WE BECOME INVOLVED WITH IT. TO NOT BE ABLE TO TOUCH
YOUR FAMILY, CHILDREN,HUSBAND OR WIFE MIGHT BE AS WORSE AS NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THEM.
WE TOUCH THOUSANDS OF THINGS EACH DAY OF OUR LIVES. MOST OF US DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.
BUT THERE ARE TIMES WE WANT TO REACH OUT TO TOUCH OR CONNECT WITH THAT OBJECT.
OUR TOUCH MIGHT BE OF LOVE,PASSION, OF TENDERNESS, OF COMPASSION, OF HELP
OF DELIVERANCE OR CURIOSITY.
OFTEN OUR TOUCH CAN EFFECT CHANGE IN OBJECTS WE TOUCH.
BUT TONIGHT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE POWER OF THE TOUCH OF THE LORD.
WHEN HE JESUS EXTENDES HIS HAND INTO YOUR LIFE AND PURPOSLEY TOUCHES YOU
HE WILL PRODUCE CHANGES THAT NO OTHER TOUCH CAN DUPLICATE.
LETS LOOK AT SOME OF THE WAYS HE TOUCHES US.
WHEN JESUS TOUCHES YOU IT IS AN INTIMATE TOUCH EX: MATHEW 8:2
WHEN JESUS TOUCH THE LEAPER HE DEMONSTRATED A DESIRE TO BECOME INVOLVED IN HIS LIFE.
THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN, HE WAS MADE WHOLE .
HIS TOUCH IS A POWERFUL TOUCH. WHY YOU MIGHT ASK, BECAUSE HE IS ABLE TO TRANSFORM
YOU INTO THE VESSEL HE WANTS, A WILLING VESSEL, A VESSEL THAT IS CLEAN, PURE, ONE THAT
IS READY TO BE FILLED WITH NEW WINE, A FRESH ANOINTING, AN ANOINTING THAT YOU JUST DON'T
FEEL AT CHURCH OR A PRAYER MEETING, BUT ONE THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO TAKE IT WITH YOU
WHERE EVER YOU GO. TAKE HIS TOUCH HOME WITH YOU TO YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CHILDREN, ON YOUR JOB
TO THE GROCERY STORE, TAKE IT WITH YOU TO CHURCH AND LET IT OVER FLOW ON OTHERS. HALELUHIA!
PRAISE GOD !
HIS TOUCH IS A POWERFUL TOUCH, HE TOUCHES A SIMON AND HE BECOMES PETER
HE TOUCHES A JACOB AND THE OLD TRICKSTER BECOMES ISREAL, THE PRINCE OF GOD! HALELUHIA!
HIS TOUCH TRANSFORMED ABRAM INTO ABRAHAM, THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS.
HIS TOUCH TRANSFORMED THE DEFEATED ELIJAH INTO ELIJAH THE MAN OF GOOD.
HIS TOUCH CHANGED MOSES THE MURDERER INTO MOSES THE LEADER OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
HIS TOUCH TRANSFORMED A NOBODY NAMED JEREMIAH INTO THE WEEPING PROPHET OF GOD.
HIS TOUCH CHANGED JAMES AND JOHN INTO THE SONS OF THUNDER,
HIS TOUCH IS A POWERFUL TOUCH !
HIS TOUCH TRANSFORMES THE DISEASED IN MATHEW 8:15
JESUS HEALS PETERS MOTHER-INLAW. SHE WAS IN A USELESS, HOPELESS CONDITION UNTIL
SHE EXPERIENCED THE TOUCH OF JESUS IN HER LIFE.
(HIS TOUCH CLEANSES SIN AND TRANSFORMS THE SINNER FROM A WASTED LIFE TO A NEW LIFE.)
HIS TOUCH TRANSFORMES THE DEAF IN MARK 7:33
HERE WAS AMAN WHO COULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE. HE COULD NOT SPEAK OR HEAR.
BUT WHEN JESUS TOUCH HIM, ALL THAT CHANGED!
THOSE WHO ARE SAVED GOD GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO HEAR HIMCLEARLY AND THE PRIVILEDGE
TO SPEAK TO HIM OPENLY. 1COR.2:14 HEBREWS 4:16
HIS TOUCH TRANSFORMES THE DARKENED. MATHEW 9:29 & JOHN 9:6
HERE IS A MAN BORN BLIND AT BIRTH WHO WAS MIRACULOUSLY TOUCHED BY THE TOUCH OF JESUS.
NOW HE CAN SEE. HE WILL OPEN THE SPIRITUAL EYES WHEN HE TOUCHES OUR LIFE.
HIS TOUCH WILL TRANSFORM THE DEAD LUKE 8:54
JESUS MERLY TOUCHED THE HAND OF THIS DEAD GIRL AND SHE LIVED AGAIN.
THAT IS THE POWER OF HIS TOUCH.
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN DEATH, IT TAKES WITH IT EVERYTHING WE HAVE.
IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A SPIRITUAL DEATH YET IT IS THE CONDITION
OF EVERY PERSON THAT IS LOST. THANK GOD FOR THE TOUCH OF JESUS.
DO YOU WANT THAT TOUCH? LET HIM TOUCH YOU AND MAKE YOU WHOLE.
THE REASON HE TOUCHES US IS NOT BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT BUT BECAUSE WE ARE NEEDY.
AND HE LOVES US. GET READY FOR YOUR TOUCH. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE !
