Turn by turn or All at once?

Do you believe that when God works, He does it turn by turn or all at once? Are you going through a situation where you think, well.... maybe it's not my turn yet. Are you sadly waiting for 'your turn?' If you are, then this message is for you!

There is a time to 'jump the queue!'. The woman with the issue of blood jumped the queue when she reached out to touch the garment of Jesus. Note that many people were pressing in on him at the time but only one person was willing to jump the queue because she believed the time to act was the present.

The woman had been diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years (Mathew 9 verse 20). What do you think she must have gone through in that period, she must have visited so many experts. I believe she must have heard about Jesus before that particular day when He was passing by but the time she recieved her healing was when she stopped to see the crowd or long queue, instead she saw herself and Jesus. It took her twelve years of pain, of shame, of her funds and strenght being drained, twelve years of battling with the same condition.

I love Mark's account of what actually happened that day. Mark 5 verse 25 - 34 said she had suffered many things of many physicians.... Some of us run to the 'experts' first without consulting God, hoping solutions will come from them. She spent all she had only for her condition to grow worse but when her focus shifted from the experts and from the crowd, all she saw was Jesus and believe me, He was all she needed. Mark said 'Straight away, the fountain of her blood was dried up and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

When you jump the queue, even Jesus stops in His tracks to confirm and seal your miracle! (Mark 5 verse 34).
