didn’t come on board and do a miracle. I didn’t want to lose my job
and I didn’t want to go bankrupt and I asked Him for a miracle.”

If you need it, He will always come on board and do a miracle. If
He didn’t come on board, you might have more faith than you think
you have. Maybe you didn’t need it. You went on without it. He
doesn’t want to come on board but if you need it to go on with Him,
He’ll come on board and do that miracle. So, perhaps you have more

and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” She reached Him but she
couldn’t reach Him until He came within her reach. He always
comes within our reach so we can reach Him.

The important thing about faith is not faith. The important thing
about faith is the object of your faith. She didn’t have great faith.
She had a little touch. But with a little touch and a great Savior, she
didn’t touch the garment, she touched the Lord. The reason I know
that is because at the cross the soldiers gambled for the garment.
They had the whole garment and not just the hem. They walked
away with His whole robe. What’s the difference? When she
