We are in a season of breakthrough and breakout in our lives. This breakthrough will come for people with determination to have all that God has for them. Their focus is on the Lord Jesus and they will not allow anyone or anything to deter them from their breakthrough. They repeatedly tell themselves that once they reach Jesus they will have all that they need. No matter the hardships, setbacks and failures that they meet, they continue to press for fulfillment of their God-given desires and destiny.
Those who press through adversity are like the woman, who had blood flowing for 12 years. (Mark 5:24-34) She never gave up looking for a cure and spent all of her money on physicians, trying to get better. Instead her physical condition worsened and she had great suffering. She heard about Jesus and still had faith for her healing.
Although a large crowd surrounded Jesus, she determined to touch the fringe on his prayer shawl that represented all the promises of the Word of God. She knew that there was healing in his wings, fringe or hem (Malachi 4:20). It was not easy to press through the crowd and her past but she had great faith that would not be denied. The law considered the woman, unclean and untouchable, so she lived her life, as an outcast. Past failures, destitution, and her untouchable status didn’t prevent her from acting in desperate faith. She told herself that she would be healed, when she touched his fringe on the hem of his garment. She did and was immediately healed.
Jesus felt power go out of him and asked who had touched him because she touched him with faith. She fell at his feet trembling and admitted that she was the one. Jesus confirmed her healing, saying her faith had healed her. He told her she would no longer suffer and would go in peace, which meant being whole and complete with nothing broken.
The woman did not let the failures of the past 12 years or her current situation, of seeming insurmountable odds, keep her from receiving what belonged to her. We are also challenged to not let anything defeat us, as we press to Jesus to receive the fullness of our God-given destiny and desires. No matter how much time has passed and how many defeats you have experienced, this is your season of breakthrough. Press through!

I love how intentional she was. She didn’t treat her potential encounter with Jesus ordinarily.
