immediately her issue of blood stanched and jesus said who touched me when all denied peter and they that were with him said master the multitude throng thee and press thee and says thou will touch thee and jesus said somebody had touched me for i perceive that virtue has gone out of me and when the woman saw that she was not here she came trembling and falling down before him she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and oh she was healed immediately 48th and last and he said unto her daughter be of good comfort thy faith has made thee who go in peace

battling to save hundreds of lives yet so many dying right before their eyes have you seen the nurses tired and worn just come from doing many hours on the wards hurrying home to care for their own

for those still active we have you in every prayer we make may god bless you all keeping you well and safe thank you thank you very much sister morgan for such a wonderful poem sister morgan was just reminding us of the things that our heroes have done but there's a greater hero the one that we're here to celebrate with today which is jesus christ one songwriter said he's higher than the highest greater than the great no one will ever take his crown away is more mighty than the mightiest he reigns from heaven above is a whole time undisputed undefended champion of life and so this morning we are here to celebrate that man so i just celebrate jesus because he's the great i am that i am and so we are here to celebrate him this morning with all our hearts with all our mind we don't know what to think about home right now and for the two hours that we are here for we just want to lift up the name of jesus because he's worthy he's our hero and so we just want to lift him up this morning coming to you this time is sister angela roberto as we know that it's breast cancer awareness week and so she's coming to give us a little snap on breast cancer cerebral bottom greetings to you my brothers and sisters special greetings to you my bishop lady small minister graham it's another october and as we celebrate our heroes past and present we acknowledge this month as breast cancer awareness month i want to use this opportunity to celebrate all the brave men and women who are battling breast cancer and those who have beaten this illness and are alive and kicking today so yes everyone is now talking about kovid but we cannot ignore this public health situation either breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer and cancer-related death in jamaican women among every age group it is a fact that men also get breast cancer but it is pre-predominantly a disease that affects women approximately 400 women die in this country every year from breast cancer in the limited time that i have for this presentation my main focus will be on the importance of early detection and prevention i will borrow the tagline that sagi core has been using this month which simply says check them out so yes these two beautiful structures that god has given to us we need to check them out we should not be too busy that we can't find time to check them out and what are the ways in which we can do this firstly through breast self-examination three to five days following the menstrual period we should be doing a breast self-examination for person persons who are no longer menstruating it is recommended that this examination be done the same time each month and this is simple you just use the three middle fingers the pads of the three middle fingers and rotate them in circular motion around the breast and we don't have time to do a demonstration today but you just want to be feeling for any lumps or any hardness under the skin also stand top naked in front of the mirror and get a good look i would also implore our partners to assist in this process so take a good look are there any noticeable changes in the breast size is one noticeably bigger and seem to be out of shape is there any redness on the skin of the breast or the nipple is the nipple inverted are there dimples in the breast is there blood stained clear fluid blood stained or clear fluid coming from the breast from the nipples is there a painless lump or thickening in or near the breast or under the arm by doing monthly breast self examination you can become familiar with any changes so once again we have to check them out and where we see any abnormal changes we have to do what check them out so it means going to the doctor for the doctor to do what check them out all right in jamaica we have a tendency to want to wait and watch so persons will say me feel the lump you know what may i watch it first and you watch it for one year two years three years you steal a watch until check them out sisters mark you not every breast lump is cancerous there are also non-malignant lumps but it's better to check them out checking them out also means having your regular mammograms done i know that women generally have a fear of getting a mammogram fear of the procedure fear of finding out the results fear that you might lose your husband if the results are positive fear that you won't feel beautiful anymore fear that you won't be able to manage and because of fear no action is taken and and you know the studies show that in jamaica more women present with advanced stages of breast cancer despite the availability of mammography late presentation means that by the time the women show up for a mammogram they either have large tumors ranging in size from 0.4 to 13 centimeters with a lymph node involvement as high as 56 to 76 percent and i'm quoting from a study done at uhwi in collaboration with the jamaica cancer society the mammogram can pick up changes that you might not be able to feel it picks up tiny salt-like particles that you would not know is there lurking on your breasts to become troublesome later on and put it this way isn't it better to detect something as small as a salt green than to wait until it starts to feel like a ginip or a guava or a grapefruit mammograms are quick they are easy and they are safe you may have slight discomfort depending on the technique but once again early detection leads to better prognosis some appealing to our sisters let us check them out early diagnosis leads to more effective treatment the sad fact is that less than five percent of our sisters who become eligible for mammography screaming actually do this most women who present for mammograms they are over the age of 60. there are two major misconceptions that we have in this country and one that it is mainly women over 60 who get breast cancer and i did say that these are misconceptions the second misconception is that if you don't have a family history of the disease you will not get breast cancer so i'm here to share the facts this morning although family history is a risk factor in jamaica the studies have found that up to 80 percent of women diagnosed with this illness have no family history of breast cancer 80 over women they are like the first one in the family to have breast cancer also 60 of the cases of women are between the ages of 25 and 59 so it's not an old people illness it's not an old woman's illness 60 are between 25 and 59. so this my sisters is not something that we should ignore the message to us is that early screening is important it is important to be vigilant about what happens in the breast tissue because younger and younger women are being diagnosed as i close the main message is for us to check our breasts be proactive be vigilant in diet exercise regular checkups and positive thinking don't forget the importance of prayer philippians 4 6 reminds us not to be anxious about anything but in all things through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving we're to make our request known to god so yes we pray but i'm also imploring us to use wisdom early detection saves lives so let us check them out let us check them out god bless you my sisters thank you very much sister robotom and as sister robotim spoke about all these things about breast cancer let us not ignore them let us not ignore the signs that she just spoke about when we look and see all these elderly ladies inside here sister wilson sister manny and sister healthy and all those other elderly persons who are here if they weren't taking care of themselves they would not be here tonight they would not be here today so let us not ignore the signs that she just spoke about let us take care of ourselves ladies we are very important persons and so we have to take care of ourselves for us to last we have to take care of ourselves all right it's time for the word and which is the most important part today because we have to hear the word the word will break us or it will make us and so today coming to us with the word is no other person than her horn minister marcia brown small but before she say our minister small comes we're going to stand and sing this song just for two times holy spirit you are welcome in this place so let us all stand all heartedly and sing it two times and then the other voice you will be hearing is sister minister marcia brown holy spirit you are welcome in this place holy spirit your word will come in this place holy spirit the art will come in this place mercy and grace holy spirit thou art well coming oh mercy and is go ahead and lift your hands and worship the lord with me somebody come on just take a minute and just praise the lord in your own ways just thank him for all that he has been doing in your lives thank him for all that you're expecting him to do hallelujah glory be to god i wonder if i have a praise in the house this morning i wonder if i have somebody who knows that you're here for a blessing for your own breakthrough hallelujah glory be hallelujah bless the name of jesus will it just permit me to a verse of this song before i greet you there are times i i get this call this to keep on calling i'm so glad jesus oh let's rise yes is i wonder if i have a witness in the house today go to god but give it to jesus is me yes jesus hey hallelujah yes come on into your hands and worship the lord somebody go ahead and magnify the name of jesus could i just invite you to turn to the passage of scripture that was just read a while ago came to us from luke chapter 8 and reading from the verse 43 but permit me just to read 42 to sort of bring a little clarity to something that i'm going to say a little later because his only daughter a daughter of about 12 was dying as jesus was on his way the crowd almost crushed him and a woman who has been there subjected to bleeding for 12 years but no one could heal her she came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak and immediately her bleeding stopped who touched me jesus asked when they all denied it peter said master the people are crowding and pressing against you but jesus said someone touched me i know that power has gone out from me then the woman seen 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 has been instantly healed then he said to her daughter your faith has healed you go in peace bow your heads with me everyone father we just want to honor you and thank you for your faithfulness we want to thank you that we are able to come to you this morning with the assurance that you are more than able to show up i pray god that self will be slain now and your voice and your words will be heard and someone today will receive almighty god the touch as this woman had may your words go forth with clarity and with power i pray god for unction i pray for your anointing i pray you'll saturate the very spot that i'm standing and that your people will hear the set the almighty god i ask this in jesus name and the church say amen amen let me use this opportunity to greet our bishop and district pastor robert james bishop small reverend bishop reverend james west paul the man that has been my best friend for over 26 years let me greet our minister ralston graham let me also acknowledge our moderator sister gray our local president sister jacqueline williams let me extend also warm welcome to members of the pastor's council and your families that are here let me greet each and every one of you the musicians and praise team that gives us good music every sunday let me acknowledge also the media team and all my wonderful wonderful bridging that are here and the visitors and all those who are viewing us on facebook and youtube in the virtual space welcome i greet you all in the matchless and powerful name of jesus amen i agreed especially the woman today is the day when we celebrate or we are about to celebrate jamaica's era's day but so many of you seated here are eras in your own rights amen and i salute you now jamaica era's day celebrated annually on the third monday of october it started in 1969 and it honors persons such as alexander bostimante jamaica first prime minister among those we have nani of the maroon who led a fight for independence in the early 18th century and you know the list continues we have other national eras and the government is also recognizing modern uh eras and we speak of hussein bolt one of the persons that has made us very proud here in jamaica but i want to take you to scripture for a while where i want to highlight some persons that we consider eras in their own rights so we speak of mary of nazar nazareth the mother of jesus she is a model of obedience hallelujah a model of obedience and trust and you know the story well that she was a teenager when the unimaginable happened the angel gabriel appeared to her and announced she was chosen by god to give birth to the messiah then we speak of root a widow who showed remarkable faith and strength she traveled a difficult journey with her withered mother-in-law to live in bethlehem despite her tremendous loss root firmly believed that god would provide for her and she is a model of bravery faith and obedience and how could we forget esther a remarkable woman who put her own life at risk to save her people she today is an inspiring example of serving others under incredible difficult circumstances yes we can truly say her bravery and courage is still celebrated among the jews today and those are just to name a few i i could have continued with abigail and many others but because of time and so you learn about nanny of the maroon a woman of strength a woman who decided that she was going to fight to deliver her people and we have so many unsung eras in jamaica i speak of a while ago i mentioned the mothers of the church our church mothers who time after time even in a pandemic they are still seated among us how much closer to eros could you get when despite the earth in the knees and the hands and the eyes they can hardly see but they are determined that they are going to stand to all the pillar of the blessed church of god i salute you today ah of being true eras i speak of women at large around jamaica around the world who are ears in their own right i speak of my own mother who is deceased but guess what she has been my hero for a very long time and still is my hero because she looked at marcia one day and she said you are going to be a child of purpose a child of destiny and she made sure that i was educated she made sure that she gave me the fundamental skills that makes me the strong vibrant black maroon woman a child of god today and i celebrate her oh time would not afford me to go on and on but let me introduce to you a mentor in the new testament a great woman of faith and guess what she was nameless glory to god she was nameless and so it is today that we have many women in society that are nameless but if you should take a walk down to memory lane you would know how priceless and the hero they are today let me give you a little background of the text that was read it's what we call a sandwich text it is a story stuck in the middle of a larger story it is a great example of what some scholars call the american sandwich and pastor and student graham would have understood what i'm saying the larger story begin with jesus being abruptly greeted by a synagogue leader gyruses who fall at jesus feet imploring him to heal his daughter of 12 of age 12 who is at the point of debt but the sandwich in the story began when a large crowd is gathering around jesus and he's preston on many side from this large crowd of a woman entered the scene by touching the hem of jesus cloak she is healed power leads jesus but we'll return to that in a while the original story is jesus jesus is swept away from the troom from the home of gyruses and he's told that his daughter has died but jesus told that little girl talita comb which is aramic for little girl get up immediately the girl got up and walked around that's the lord we serve today but both victims were victims of an illness and according to the culture were ritually unclean one as a result of death and one as a result of energy under no circumstances should jesus even be near to any of the two but how many of you know that jesus shows up in some dead situation in some emerging situation and i don't know about you today but we have all been there done that and jesus will defy rules and customs and tradition to reach down to the lowest level to pull you from your situation can i have an amen somebody come on can i have a him and somebody hallelujah the significance of the number 12 in jewish tradition the 12 years of hemorrhage and the 12 years of girl of of of the 12 year old girl are both regarded as daughters the little being jairus's daughter and the woman who didn't have a name being addressed as daughter by jesus stay with me somebody immediately we can notice the biblical significance with the number 12. that has a connection all over place let me say this to you there's nothing that is written in scripture just by chance and that is why it's important that when you're reading the bible you ask god for clarity you ask him to show you because something in scripture might just seem ordinary but there is a significance to that there's a biblical significance with the number 12 12 years of bleeding 12 years of age the number 12 typically means perfection or authority it represents wholeness and perfection 12 fruits for the healing of the nation jacob 12 sons 12 disciples twelve male gates made out of pearl in the new jerusalem is somebody with me somebody will be praying for me right now ah twelve suggests perfection authority i wonder if somebody is going to get a 12 today i wonder if somebody is anticipating a 12th today hallelujah glory to god we can see that these two feminine characters are unnamed by society but then beautifully placed by jesus when he referred to both of them as daughters it is a sweet intimate naming that is so needed by both of these women ah another intimate moment is a scene as an act of touch scene in both story hallelujah i wonder if some of you have been referred to as daughters recently i wonder if some of you are longing to hear an endearment word from your lord and savior daughter i am calling you today so let us talk a little bit about this woman this woman was a gentile a native of caesarea philippi we don't know her name but we do know our situation we don't know all the intricate details about our resources but we know her needs what was the problem yes we just learned that for 12 years she bore the emotional and the psychological baggage of the unclean and the untouchable he said this woman could not have been ugg this woman could not have been kissed by any type of intimacy with her husband if she had one she could not prepare her family food even if she had one she could not do housework the things that a woman would have normally done with her family because this woman was physically unclean and spiritually unclean she couldn't be a wife she couldn't be a mummy so she sat in isolation for 12 long years alone glory to god for all the intent and purpose brother samuels is as if she was dead but then she heard that jesus was coming to town ah and when he comes to town demons shrumber when he comes to town the sick the healed when he comes to town the imaginable the unimaginable happens heard somebody just said she heard that jesus was coming to town she didn't know much about him she could have heard that they said he was the son of god or she could have heard that he was the son of mary and joseph carpenter one thing she knew that whenever he shows up the dead comes to life i know you're somebody hallelujah somebody oh god sister isabel she may not have known the song that the great physician now is here that's sympathizing jesus he speaks a drooping hearts to chair or hear the voice of jesus i wonder if there's somebody who needs a touch from the lord today i wonder if there's somebody that says i must touch jesus today from the constant blood loss she suffered physically she has gone through so much we learned a while ago a little bit about breast cancer and the drama of the sickness negotia radiation chemotherapy and the weakness that takes the body but this woman suffered because she was constantly losing blood for 12 years and those who are female here you can identify what three and five days is like just going through this situation this woman went through it for 12 long years so she must have been pale she must have had no energy the least of effort would have been she was worn out she was tired she felt like she wanted to give up you would have heard about the either she was going through her molten period when she was all alone she gave up she had suffered socially she could not be married because through physical contact she would have defiled her husband it has ever been married her husband would have been forced to deserve to divorce her based on the rules and the laws in those days she could not work around others because of the danger of being defiled or defiled in others her condition left her on the fringe of society and that is why sometimes we have to remove the mask ladies get real you come to church every day with your issues you have been cheated on lie down and sometimes you are trying to look pretty ah with physical and psychological scars some of you are seated even here some are viewing by the social media yes you have been psychologically and you have been physically emotionally scared and no wonder sometimes this mask does a very good job because sometimes when you have the mask on nobody know when you're smiling nobody knows when you are going even to crying because sometimes the mask is put close up to the eyes so nobody know what you are going through let me talk to some people today no matter what you are going through jesus is passing this way today hallelujah hallelujah she had suffered emotionally the baby said she has been this way for 12 years she considered the habit span in those days and it's it's safe to assume that she has been busy this way since just after puberty ah oh glory to god she has lived her life moving from one rejection to another she was lonely isolated and desperate i wonder if i have somebody that has been molested as a child seated here today because like they are my god my god my god my god i spoke to somebody the other day that she said smile you don't know what may go through and more than one time i get molested and i have to just smile and look pretty though god has given me a good job a good house of good care i cannot forget what was done to me but i want you to turn to somebody and just tell them forget the past and move on hallelujah i wouldn't have somebody's praying for me today i wonder somebody who's praying for me today ah we know the story of leah despite the many children she had oh for her husband my god he did not he had nothing to do with her and it is so happening today that you have some men who don't have anything to do with you today so they box you and they kick you around you are saying we are we are looking into domestic violence and when i gave the presentation another day we are reminded that there are persons who are seated and have been bit um boxed and kicked on and moved around and nobody knows because somebody are so ashamed of even trying to come to say i am being abused because of fear of who you are she has suffered religiously under the law this one was considered unclean and anything or anyone she touched was also considered unclean my god financially oh we know that she spent all she had the doctors had used her to get their own gain but nobody could help her so she was now penniless and destitute hallelujah now this is something that i found very very funny jairus has access to jesus he could get to jesus and he went to jesus and said my daughter is at the point of death i need you to fix it my god no i wrote something down that are common between this woman and the girl because on one hand you got this dead girl laying here dead and sick and died at the age of 12. she represents one generation one reality but on the other hand we have this woman who have been sick for 12 long years and the girl has an appointment and the woman does not i wonder somebody got that jairus's daughter had an appointment but this woman had none oh god but were in a crisis mode both of them had no cure for what was wrong with them both of them were terminally terminally ill but they were locked away for normalcy someone here you are living or you are existing but you're not living you're existing but you're not living there's no joy there's no peace you get up every day and it's the same old same old you go through each day wondering god what is going to happen today i feel like i'm speaking to somebody in the virtual space you have had it you are fed up and you're tired you're untouchable because the law says a priest could not touch a bleeding woman he please make him unclean and so you go through life feeling that nobody can help you or reach you at your point uh but i hear the songwriters as the news came to jesus ah please come fast lazarus is sick and if you don't come he certainly would not last ah god jesus was totally couldn't touch the dead girl because he was considered priest nobody touched this woman so she decided whatever i have to do and whatever it takes i am going to crawl on my belly if i have to because i must need jesus she said i don't want to shake jesus and i don't even want to take a selfie with jesus i just want to touch the hem of his garment i want to ask pastor to assist me in a demonstration let me be very quick today there are two ropes that i have and the two robes are very symbolic and so though this is an original robe it is a robe that is generally used for coverage and so whenever they would have gone to jesus hallelujah it represents courage let me just get back to my notes to say that could you just come on up a little bit closer in those days the jews they wore cloaks with tassels and the four corners and so let me show you hallelujah the tassels are the blue card woven into it which reminds them of god's law and their duties to keep the law many people has a superstitious superstitious belief that these tassels are a sacred object it is the only thing that seems to expect to explain the fact that she sought to touch the hem of jesus garment not each castle's pasta has eight treads which double over and they double over and they form a knot right here total in 13 so if you count these there will be 13. the sum of all the numbers is 613. traditionally the number of commandments in the torah this reflects the concept that dawning a garment hallelujah it's called tiseot and it reminds its wearer of all torah commandment as specified in number 15 numbers 15 and verse 39 and and i want to continue but the time is against me in the most basic law god instructed its people regarding the corners of fringes of their garment jews were told to make tassels at the end of their garment but there's something significant with accord of blue it is a reminder that they were god's people and it was they were called to keep his commandments so in the asian near east the corner of a person's garment represent the person's identity it was a symbol of who he or she was and what it stood for when god spoke of making a covenant with israel he pictures himself as spreading the corner of his garment over her it is a symbol of identifying with her has his bride so important for the car the corners of a jewish man's garment that it was what was prophesied that jesus wore the woman who was not a jew learned that in malachi 4 2 the same word means wings the corner of the garment and you would have remember when route went to bojas and she asked that she be covered it is said that it was a representation of this but not only that we also learned that it is a form of identity so when saul you'll remember the old story of when david went after saul and cut the hand of the garment it was a representation that he was cutting away his identity oh glory to god at the heart of the messiah's identity this woman did not know anything about the law pastor she did not know anything about the law because she was not a jew but somehow sometimes god can show up in our spiritual man and this woman knew let me just take this off for a minute she would have been made all and that is why i understand says that she didn't have an identity because she was nameless she was neither jew nor greek hallelujah but she knew that if she taught jesus there would be an identity lord spoke to me and i'm gonna give me a minute brother morgan but let me invite you let me invite you first let me invite don't need him there's something i want to just quickly demonstrate to you today hallelujah glory to god i wonder if i have a witness in the house sometime we take a step like this woman she had a issues i'm going to come to that brother morgan but i need at least four persons i was hoping brother corey was here i need somebody has yeah i could probably use my brother seated there could i just invite you to come for a minute hallelujah could i invite you brother summers to come here for a moment there's something i want to just demonstrate for a while oh god i wanna have somebody know that today you're a woman of purpose and you're a daughter of purpose and you're a hero and so regardless of what you're going through god has something in store for you you see this woman pastor had a lot of issues do i get the brother so i want you to just stand facing just come on up right here stop right there hallelujah you stand here could i invite your pastor to just come come hallelujah many times in life we are going through some situations sometime you are weak sometimes you are cast on sometimes as if you have nobody those days of prey and fasting you start to get weak you're looking for somebody to lean on but nobody's there do i have a witness you're going through hell job husband children wives you are going through hell but you remember that jesus says when you're going through a lot he's going to hide you under his pavilion now this woman was weak but she heard that jesus was coming but even in his in her weakness she couldn't have probably stood and here was a stall ah glory disciple of god of jesus and he was trying to prevent her from going to jesus but she has a need to see jesus and even while she was weak and preston i don't know about some of you today but some of you are pressed into some situations and you are so scared to tell anybody that you are going through hell but this woman need to see jesus and so she was able to pass her first obstacle oh god and i don't know about you but there are times when you have the best moments of your lives but it is when you are at your best at the devil know how to strike again this woman never had enough but she must see jesus and so she came to obstacle number two but obstacle of circle number two is bigger sometimes they never know how to give bigger fights after you have been successful over one but this woman knew she had to touch jesus because she has been through hell and back she has lost her identity she has lost her friends her family so she needed to touch jesus but everywhere she went the problem stuck like glue because does she want to see jesus there is a blockage i wonder if there's a blockage in somebody's life today you want to reach the pinnacle of your career but there's a blockage you want to get married or there's a blockage you want a divorce but even there's a blocking whatever it is sometimes you have to study the enemy and when you see him as if he wants to block you sometimes you have to push because you must get to jesus jesus hi god and sometimes you don't need to speak you just need to act and push the devil out of your way because you must see jesus hallelujah hallelujah see what i love saw this demonstration recently and it blesses my heart see what i love is that when i have somebody in my life i feel covered and i feel protected and i feel that even when i'm dying and even when i'm falling i have somebody to push me forward glory to god and i can feel comfortable and i can feel joy but guess what this woman didn't know that i'm going to be inviting my sister to come here for a minute i want you to come sis yes this person is going to be representing that woman today you're going to represent that woman who has issues who has challenges but come with a smile on the face but deep down there's a desire to be made whole but people don't know you they mistake you they don't understand you who you are and so sometimes you may even come to church and you might sit there being insignificant but nobody knows what you are going through but jesus is passing this way and regardless of the obstacles that you have jesus has the ability to make you whole i'm going to ask you to come with those stones for me elder just last night i was going back over the notes i wanted to take them around here elder right where that little golden bow is in the middle right there the lord said to me pastor that he has something for the maypen new testament church of god and he said 12 represents perfection an authority and the significance is that he wants to do something for the church and so sim uh it's a symbol it's a civilization today that god must have supreme authority of the nathan church and so you have to just sit back and let god i'm gonna ask you to put them on the eep as if you are making brother morgan i want you to eat the stones right there push them as far back as you can yes now the others i want you to put on top put on on top as if you're making a heap the lord asked me to let you know that this stone must not be moved they are going to be here for the end of the year because he is going to show up as never before in the mapen new testament church of god it is his way of marking his identity with this church it is his way of ensuring i could you just use that to cover cover your head pastor it is his way of ensuring could you do your mind walking with me pastor it is his way of saying to you that when everything is failing the mapping church will see harvest because his identity is here he also mentioned pastor that we have too many sickness in the church and when you are sick you are not able to praise god and so there's going to be a demonstration today i want every individual who is going through psychological physical emotional whatever it is today like that woman and you are going to be the first sister i don't know what you are going through but god know how to fix every broken situation and regardless of the obstacles that we face on an everyday basis he says to tell you his identity is here his coverage is here and so i'm going to ask you could i invite brother summer to come now elder just to calm down for me yes thank you thank you come on down just stand right beside rev get the margaret just stand beside rev could have stand behind pastor glory to god this is not jesus but he represents jesus whatever it is i want you by faith don't know anything you know the jewish law but you know you can touch the helm of his garment and i want you to believe by faith that you can be made whole go ahead he's here another person who's saying i've been through a lot hallelujah you just walk that way and just touch her just touch her right hallelujah could i have another witness you're going through a lot and i don't want anybody to be scared today i've been seen by a video or whatever but you have a situation hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah jesus glory to god glory to god glory to god hallelujah whatever it takes for my will to break that's what i'll be willing to do lord jesus thank you jesus jesus is passing this way somebody i want to share this publicly the way i was preparedness i didn't want to because this woman represents me in a certain way my husband will tell you that there's no career that i've not been exposed to sister roboto i gave them all up for jesus and i've had no regrets but every time i reach a high i recognize the enemy comes with a different battle and as it had it not been for the strength of my husband and the strength of my family i probably feel like i would have i would have quit like this that woman who felt like she wanted to give up i came to melbourne and my desire is i am going to work as hard as i can beside my husband but i decided that guess what this is what i want to do i want to create a safe haven for persons that has a need they can come and they and they can and i was so much passionate about helping women building your self-esteem building their image looking good and feeling good about themselves i noticed after i took the backseat i noticed that i was washing my hair and pastor was assisting me and he said marcel something is wrong and when i look my ear was like ripping through the coal within one week yours truly went bald i got so scared and panicked and everything and i had to go to a dermatologist and did blood work and and so far everything seems okay and i could not identify why i could lose my hair like that until last night the lord said to me if you are going to tell somebody about self-esteem you have to experience what they are going through because when i lost my hair i did not feel beautiful i did not feel pretty and the devil has a way of mocking you when facebook show you your picture for one year when you look and you see that beautiful person you wonder what happened to me but jesus reminded me last night in order to lead you and to tell you that you are beautiful i must experience what it is not to feel beautiful and i was scared when the lord showed that to me but he says remember martial you have to touch the hem you have to just wrap up you may not have a cloak but sometimes you might have to just borrow that old white sheet that some of us used to use and you may have to just put it over your head and feel the embrace that jesus cares and knows about you whatever you are going through today jesus knows hallelujah thank you jesus could i have some music in the background the great physician now is here that sympathize in jesus glory to god and the disciples they would have laid their hands and they would have touched their heads whatever pain whatever you are going through

not sure what it is that god has in store for you but i know it is something special and it is something big and god is about to open doors that you felt has been closed for a very long time god is about to shift you into your destiny and no wonder you have been experiencing obstacles after obstacles after obstacles after obstacles after obstacles where you feel drained and tired and feel as if you want to get up but you come on a sunday and you hold that camera with a smile but jesus said to tell her today he is gonna show up in your situation and whatever it is just touch just touch just
