Leviticus 15\u00a0<\/strong>[amplified bible] 26<\/strong> Every bed on which she lies during the time of her discharge shall be to her like the bed of her menstrual impurity, and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, like the uncleanness of her monthly period. Imagine living like this for 12 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately for many people, this more than justifies suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They’ve been blinded to the spiritual side of life and don’t have a heart-to-heart connection with God or a true<\/strong> <\/em>knowledge of his son Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This also applies to suicide bombers and terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John 16<\/strong> [amplified bible] Unless you’ve been living in a deep dark cave your entire life, verses 2 & 3 have already come to pass, just as God’s word said it would, almost 2 thousand years later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So if somebody kills a christian because they believe they are doing it in service to God, then they must be deceived and deception takes the form of lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we are beginning to see a pattern develop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Considering the woman with the issue of blood’s circumstances, what would you have done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n So why didn’t she succumb to the temptation to end her life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Word Origin and History for succumb<\/strong> Originally transitive; sense of “sink under pressure” is first recorded c.1600. Related: Succumbed; succumbing. Because she wouldn’t accept being spiritually screwed by the adversary, the God of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I John 4:4<\/strong> I Corinthians 15:26<\/strong> If the devil can prevent somebody from getting born again by his lies, then he has succeeded because death will have the ultimate victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when a christian dies, death is only temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing can stop Jesus Christ from coming back and raising the fallen believers from the dead and giving them a brand new spiritual body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the Christians alive at the return will get one too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What an incredible hope!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another major reason the woman didn’t commit suicide is because she had hope and suicide assumes that there is no hope = hopelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ephesians 2:12<\/strong> Once you believe there is no hope, you give up because it’s hope that gives us endurance to make it through the tough times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Logically speaking, there are only 3 types of hope in existence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Romans 8<\/strong> In verse 25, the word “patience” is the Greek word hupomone and literally means to remain and endure under. Hope is the foundation of endurance and steadfastness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When times are tough, we need the safety rope of hope Hebrews 6<\/strong> [amplified bible] God’s hope anchors us into his word and all the blessings he brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What was her secret to getting healed and avoiding suicide?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark 5<\/strong> Now to really get the details of verse 28 and see the huge impact it had on this woman, we learn a little about Greek grammar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can see from the screenshot of a Greek interlinear of Mark 5:28 a small red rectangle, highlighted by a large red arrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This little red box in the corner of this screenshot gives us the secret code to the grammar mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we click on it, we get our answer, which meant everything for the woman with the issue of blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First off, we are dealing with a verb, which by definition means some kind of action is taking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The imperfect tense<\/strong> in Greek grammar refers to the present tense that has been shifted into the past. It was an on-going action in the past since the gospel of Mark was written many years after the actual incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The active voice<\/strong> means that the subject of the verb [the woman] is performing the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 28<\/strong> For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the Greek grammar in Mark 5:28, this woman was continually<\/strong><\/em> saying to herself that she would be healed if she just touched Jesus’ garment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The gospel of Matthew adds an important detail…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Matthew 9<\/strong> [amplified bible] Ever since she had heard of Jesus Christ, after such severe suffering for so long and with no other answers in sight, she fastened her mind on virtually nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It takes commitment and perseverance to achieve important goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proverbs 23:7<\/strong> Romans 10<\/strong> 15<\/strong> And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! The woman with the issue of blood was able to believe for healing and prevented suicide because she heard the word of God and continually kept it in her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to the woman getting healed in Luke 8:44<\/strong>, Jesus Christ taught the parable of the sower and the seed in Luke 8: 5 – 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What does that have to do with the woman with the issue of blood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5<\/strong> A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6<\/strong> And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 7<\/strong> And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8<\/strong> And other fell on good<\/strong> <\/em>ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. In verse 8, the word “hundredfold” is used 7 times in the bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7 is the number of spiritual perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we apply the perfect principles of the word of God, we can get the same results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From verse 8, check out the definition of good below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The woman’s name Agatha comes from this Greek word agathos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The top 3 most published literary works of all time are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is good?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Romans 12:2<\/strong> II Timothy 1:13<\/strong> By holding fast to sound words, the woman insured she would see sound results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luke 8:47<\/strong> From verse 15, check out the definition of “honest” below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The woman with the issue of blood definitely fits the definition of the virtuous woman in proverbs 31 whose price is far above rubies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The woman with the issue of blood was a great example of the good ground that the seed fell upon in the parable of the sower and the seed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Proverbs 4:23<\/strong> I Peter 5:8<\/strong> Matthew 13:19<\/strong> It’s critical to not only have a knowledge of the word, but to understand it also, which is best accomplished by researching the word with sound principles and taking ownership of it. I Thessalonians 5:21<\/strong> Since there are so many lies in the medical system, how are we going to hold onto the good things?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We must first determine what things are good and what ones are lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There must be a standard of truth with which everything is to be compared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a partial checklist of principles and resources we can use to separate medical truth from error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure the treatment follows the pattern of God’s wisdom. If your gut reaction is to not accept a certain treatment, you should wait and research it more until you get a verifiable answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, get different opinions from multiple, objective authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a partial list of resources of vital information that will get to the root of the problem and change your life for the better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The truth is often suppressed, distorted or discredited. Consider the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We must do a tremendous amount of research using God’s wisdom, grace and sound principles of logic and science in order to get to the bottom of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the adversary making the world a spiritual wilderness, the Lord still led the Israelites through it, so how much more can he help us to succeed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I Corinthians 15:57<\/strong> Ecclesiastes 7:19<\/strong>
19<\/strong> When a woman has a discharge, if her bodily discharge is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.
25<\/strong>\u00a0Now if a woman has a flow of blood for many days, not during the time of her menstruation, or if she has a discharge beyond that period, as long as the impure discharge continues she shall be as she is in the days of her [normal] menstrual impurity; she is unclean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27<\/strong> And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3<\/strong> And they will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
