A touch from Jesus

I want to share something truly amazing with you but first I have to tell you about a story in the bible, it comes from Luke 17:11-19

Ten Healed of Leprosy

11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a]met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" 14 When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19 Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."


People who had this disease were supposed to stay away from other people and announce their arrival. If a person with leprosy thought they had been healed of this disease they had to go to the high priest so he could declare him clean. So when Jesus sent the ten lepers to go to the high priest they had not been healed yet but still they went out of FAITH believing they would be healed before they got there as Jesus healed them on their way.

I share this important message with you because I believe my mother has been healed! She had another encounter with the Lord during the night. She felt someone take their hand, grab inside the hip where the tumor is, turn it like a door handle and pull it out. She felt no pain and the pain she previously had left her immediately. Again she felt at peace thanking Jesus.

Now just like the ten they walked in faith until they knew for sure they had received their healing and mom won’t know for sure until she gets her next pet scan in a couple of months. But she will walk in faith believing that God healed her in a mighty and awesome way. Please come and rejoice with me and praise God for the work He is doing in my mother!

In Matthew 16:15-18 He gives His believers The great Commission.

15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."


Healing does exist today because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever…

MJ = Mary Jane & Miraculous Jesus!
I truly believe in miracles, there is no other answer for the healing of my son's heart. Medical intervention alone did not fix Alex!
As I've said before, it's not always in our hands, but HIS!
God Bless you all!
