Radical Conference on What can happen when you touch God by Pastor Chris

Most of the time when we come before God, we always tell God to touch us. God, please come to touch me! Touch me! Yes, God touches us. However, it is not about God touching us anymore BUT US touching God!

In Luke 8: 42As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,but no one could heal her. 44She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45"Who touched me?" Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you." 46But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me." 47Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace."

The story above, the woman represents our generation:
- An act of desperation
- Genuine desire
- Bold, courageous declaration
- Actin of demonstration faith

In hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

1) You can receive from God what no one else can give. (43And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,but no one could heal her)

In the crowd that day there was a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with hemorrhages. She had spent every penny she had on doctors but NOT ONE HAD BEEN ABLE TO HELP HER. NO ONE can heal her! She dont know whether Jesus can heal her but her desperateness for living drive her to Jesus. You can receive from God what no one else can give if you come desperate to touch God!

In 1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.

For leaders, It's not about our right of why we are serving but because God gave it to us.

2) You will experience God's power in your personal life. (46But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.")

This woman, she know that no one can heal her, so eventually she might die @ home or later. To come might cost her life, not to come also might cost her life. She decided to come to Jesus and Jesus healed her! Look @ this woman, she dont even know if Jesus can heal but she still risk her life to come to the crowd to touch Jesus. For us, Are we willing to die for what we believe? To die means to go all the way out to impact the world not just by doing the normal things but being radical for God!

In Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

3) You will be commended and loved by God Himself. (48Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.")

-Our Lord Jesus called her “Daughter”!
-He said to her, "My daughter, your trust has saved you; go in peace." (JEWISH BIBLE)
-Jesus said to her, "Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace.“(NEW CENTURY VERSION)

God want us to be make known. Some of us will be doing great things for God, being a well known Pastor, Missionary, Businessman/woman, etc. No matter how tiny you are, God want to make you known!

4) You can begin a new journey of peace and blessings. (48Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.")

-Jesus said, "Daughter, you took a risk trusting me, and now you're healed and whole. Live well, live blessed!“(THE MESSAGE)
