"And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, . . .came in the press behind, and touched his garment."
Mark 5:25,27
The more we consider the woman with the issue of blood, the more we understand that she had to be stubborn.
Under Jewish law, she was unclean.
When a woman with an issue of blood came out in public, she risked being stoned.
As if that weren't bad enough, at that time Jesus was walking with a ruler of the synagogue, Jairus was his name.
Jesus was on His way to Jairus' house to heal his daughter when He perceived that power had flowed out of Him and stopped to find out who had touched Him.
As a ruler of the synagogue, Jairus had authority to have this woman stoned.
But she had tenacity to overcome her fear and go against religious leaders to get her healing.
People have to override what ministers say about healing in order to receive their healings.
Like this woman, we have to overcome unbelief, fear and weakness and do no matter what comes against us to receive.
We have to get to the point where we don't care what anyone says!
