“But Gloria,” you might say, “that was different. Those people had Jesus right there with them, ministering to them in flesh and blood.”
Yes, they did. But in a sense, so do you.
When you go to a healing meeting, Jesus is there in the form of the men and women of God He has sent to minister to you, as His representatives. His Spirit is present within and upon them. They’re His ambassadors, laying hands on you in His Name.
If you’ll respect and receive them just as you’d respect and receive Him, you’ll absolutely open the door to the power of God to get you delivered. You’ll be able to connect by faith to the Anointing of Jesus Himself.
What’s going to happen when you make that connection?
The same thing that happened to the woman in Mark 5. You probably remember her story. She suffered from an incurable medical condition the Bible refers to as “an issue of blood.” For 12 long years, she spent all her money going to doctors, but they were unable to help her and she was left destitute and without hope.
Then, somehow she found out about Jesus. She heard He was anointed of God and that people were getting healed in His meetings. Suddenly, faith sprang up in her heart and she said, “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole!”
Physically, she wasn’t in any condition to even leave her house. According to Jewish law, she could have been stoned for even going out in public. But she got herself out of bed anyway and headed out the door. She didn’t decide she was too sick to go to the healing meeting. She understood that if you’re sick that’s where you need to be!

Points to Get You There
When you go to a healing meeting, go with the assurance in your heart that you’re going to be healed. Prepare yourself in advance, so that the instant the man or woman of God lays hands on you, God’s Anointing will flow into you and you will be sure to receive! Here are some points to get you there:
1) When Jesus was ministering on earth, every sick person who respected the Anointing on Him received their healing.
Mark 6:56
2) When Peter ministered in Jesus’ Name, people responded to him just as they responded to Jesus.
Acts 5:15-16
3) Jesus said if you receive those He sends to minister healing in His Name, it will be as if He’s ministering to you Himself.
Matthew 10:40
4) Even in Jesus’ ministry, what people received was not just up to Him, it was up to them.
Mark 5:34
5) When a minister lays hands on you, connect with the Anointing of God by believing, speaking and acting in faith.
Mark 11:23
