SOAP on Mark 5:21-43

By Nicole Gibson

Scripture: 

Mark 5:34- He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Observation: 

- faith alone could heal in Jesus’ time and it can heal in ours

- healing can take place in our physical bodies and in our spirit

- if we have faith that God never leaves us then we can view any storm as an opportunity to glorify God by our peace and take comfort that these things are in His capable hands, Mark 5:36

Application:

- Do I speak my own strong convictions about faith in a manner that glorifies God?

- Our words have power and either glorify God or take credit from Him.  Do my words speak to the power of God?

- I realize that when Jesus left his Holy Spirit here to guide us through this sin filled world it was not for my benefit alone. 

Prayer:

Lord, help my faith in You to strengthen each day as I see miracles in physical and in spiritual healing happening all around.  Help me to be bold and to share the numerous scriptures that speak to the power You have given each one of us through the gift of the Holy Spirit.  May I take note of all the ways that I see you moving situations which may seem bad and turning them for Your glory.  Amen.
