"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 this woman with the issue of blood, the more we understand that she had to be determined to be healed.

Under Jewish law, she was considered unclean and when a woman with an issue of blood was out in public, she risked being stoned.

And if that wasn't bad enough, a ruler of the synagogue was walking with Jesus at the time.

Jesus was on His way to Jairus' house to heal his daughter when He perceived power flowing out of Him and stopped to find out who had touched Him. Jairus had the authority to have her stoned.

This woman had to overcome her fear and go against the religious leaders. She also had to overcome unbelief and her weakness. She had to decide that no matter what happened, she was going to receive her healing.

We have to do the same and not care what others say if we want to receive out healing. We have to take a stand on God's Word and that's all there is to it.
