\"\"<\/h6>\n
When you have an encounter, a one-on-one touch with Jesus, you are, and will be, transformed. You are forever changed.<\/h6>\n
The blind man that was touched by Jesus\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
The lame man sat at a pool for 38 years crippled, but when he was touched by Jesus\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
The woman at the well, broken, condemned, judged for her poor choices in life ruined reputation\u2026but when she had an encounter with Jesus\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
The dead girl raised to life again and Lazarus dead four days, heard Jesus say come forth\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
The demoniac tormented in body, mind and soul, no peace for years and then he was touched by Jesus\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Real people with real pain in situations that no one could repair, full of despair and hopelessness, no one could rescue, but they were touched by Jesus\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
500 witnesses saw Jesus after his resurrection\u2026Jesus is Alive\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/em>Once touched by Jesus, no person, no demon from hell, could take away the encounter they had with Jesus. The experience was unexplainable, and it happened. They were completely set free!<\/h6>\n
That was then, but he\u2019s still touching lives in our day and time too. I know because he did it for me.<\/h6>\n
They were one way and then they were another way! I was one way then I was changed.<\/h6>\n
When you have a life changing experience with Jesus, you\u2019re no longer bound by what you know or think or by what others say, think or do.<\/h6>\n
You don\u2019t have to be convinced or talked into believing, because you know it for yourself. It is undeniable.<\/h6>\n
You know that you know that you know, and no matter what anyone says or does to make you try and doubt or to go back into that insanity. You know you will not go back because you are living proof that Jesus touched you and you are no longer bound.<\/h6>\n
You\u2019re screaming, \u201cHow?\u201d<\/h6>\n
Well, either Jesus is Real, or we are all just playing games. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt Jesus is real! I know the life I lived before and how tormented I was. I was filled with shame and guilt for many years. I hid emotionally and physically because that\u2019s what we do when we aren\u2019t in right standing with Jesus. Like Adam and Eve in the garden. Sin makes us hide from God. I ran from one place to another, literally over and over and over. I could not find peace, because I didn\u2019t want to face myself and if I went to Jesus, really went to him I\u2019d have to face it all and it was just too painful. But He has His ways\u2026and He loves us so much, he goes looking for us! He\u2019s calling, \u201cChild, where are you?\u201d<\/h6>\n
So, like the woman at the well<\/em>\u2026Jesus waited for me to come to the well\u2026I was hot, dusty, tired, broken and afraid and alone.<\/h6>\n
He took me out of Egypt (sin) and put me smack dap in the middle of a faraway place where He was\u2026and for nine years I was in a safe place to heal\u2026so that the tormentors no longer had control over my life. I was no longer \u201cthe victim.\u201d I was the VICTOR through the touch of Jesus!<\/h6>\n
Jesus touched me and I had that real life encounter with Him\u2026I was no longer the person I once had been. I don\u2019t even recognize that person\u2026I was made new by the transforming power of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/h6>\n
If he can do it for me, he can do it for anyone.<\/h6>\n
Relationships are built on faith and trust. I know, who He Is! And I trust him with my whole body, mind and soul!!<\/h6>\n
How? Go to Jesus. You may say, \u201cI\u2019ve done that a thousand times and it doesn\u2019t work.\u201d Do it until it does work!<\/h6>\n
Stop running\u2026stop looking for an easy fix, that doesn\u2019t last. Band-Aid solutions are only temporary. Stop trying to be what He never meant for you to be.<\/h6>\n
Get alone with Jesus\u2026be real with Him\u2026talk to Him and ask Him to come into your heart and be the Lord and savior of your life. He\u2019s waiting for you to ask\u2026<\/h6>\n
Meet with Jesus face to face and I promise you, he will transform you into a brand-new person. He will put the right people\/person in your life that will lead you to your true healing.<\/h6>\n
Let go of the past and walk with Him\u2026all the way to forever!<\/h6>\n
The peace you\u2019ll receive is a peace that lasts\u2026Oh there will be times of trials but in those times, you have an assurance that he is with you, and it will pass. It\u2019s worth it, He is worth it! You are worth it!<\/h6>\n
And then when doubt tries to hinder you. You\u2019ll have a resolve that Jesus is greater, and the doubt won\u2019t be able to penetrate your victory, because, brother, sister you Are Free! Whom the Son sets free is FREE indeed! Not just words\u2026Truth!!<\/h6>\n
God wants you to live and not die and proclaim his mighty works to others so they too can be set free, just like YOU!!<\/h6>\n
