THE TOUCH OF FAITH AND THE VOICE OF LIFE

A Prophetic Message

by Apostle Jean Mulovery

Text: Luke 8:40-56

INTRODUCTION

Beloved saints of the Most High God, we gather today under the anointing of the Holy Spirit to receive a word that will transform your understanding of faith, desperation, and divine intervention. In my our text today, we witness two miraculous encounters that reveal the heart of our God – a God who responds to desperate faith and speaks life into impossible situations.

REVELATION 1:
THE PROTOCOL OF DIVINE ACCESS

“Then a man called Jairus came to see him. He was a leader at the Jewish meeting place. He went down on his knees at the feet of Jesus” (v.41)

The Breaking of Religious Pride

Church, observe this profound truth: Jairus was not just any man – he was a synagogue ruler, a man of position, status, and religious authority. Yet when his daughter’s life hung in the balance, he abandoned all protocol, all pride, all concern for his reputation. He fell at Jesus’ feet.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT:

God is looking for leaders who will humble themselves. Your title cannot heal your situation. Your position cannot resurrect your dead dreams. Only humility at the feet of Jesus can access the impossible.

APPLICATION:

What pride is preventing your breakthrough? What status are you holding onto that’s blocking your miracle? Today, God is calling you to the place of desperation – the place where miracles are born.

REVELATION 2:

THE INTERRUPTION OF MERCY

“There was a sick woman in the crowd who had lost blood for 12 years… She came in the crowd behind Jesus and she touched the edge of his coat” (v.43-44)

When Desperation Creates Opportunity
Saints, while Jairus had public access to Jesus, this woman had to fight through the crowd. She had been bleeding for 12 years – the same age as Jairus’ daughter. This is not coincidence; this is divine orchestration.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT:

Sometimes God allows interruptions in your expected timeline because someone else’s miracle is connected to your waiting season. The woman’s healing didn’t delay Jairus’ miracle – it demonstrated the power that would soon raise his daughter.

THE POWER OF TOUCH:

She touched with FAITH, not just fingers
She touched with EXPECTATION,
not just emotion

She touched with DESPERATION,
not just devotion

APPLICATION:

Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Press through the crowd of doubt, criticism, and delay. Your miracle is one touch of faith away.

REVELATION 3:

THE DIVINE DETECTION SYSTEM

“Jesus asked, ‘Who touched me?’… Jesus said, ‘Someone did touch me. I know that something powerful went out from me’” (v.45-46)

The Difference Between Contact and Connection

Church, many people were touching Jesus – the crowd was pressing against Him. But only ONE touch released power. There’s a difference between religious contact and faith connection.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT:

Jesus knew the difference between the touch of curiosity and the touch of faith. Your worship, your prayer, your seeking must move beyond mere religious activity to desperate faith that pulls on heaven’s power.

THE ANATOMY OF POWER-RELEASING FAITH:

Specific Expectation – She knew exactly what she needed
Determined Action – She pressed through obstacles
Personal Responsibility – She took initiative for her miracle
Immediate Recognition – Power flowed instantly

REVELATION 4:

THE DECLARATION OF WHOLENESS

“Jesus said to her, ‘Young woman, you are well again because you believed in me. Go now and have peace in your mind’” (v.48)

From Healing to Wholeness
Notice Jesus didn’t just acknowledge her healing – He declared her faith and released peace. Healing touches your body, but wholeness transforms your identity.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION:

Today, God is not just healing your situation – He’s declaring your faith and releasing divine peace over your mind, your emotions, your future.

REVELATION 5:

THE SEASON OF BAD NEWS

“While Jesus was still speaking, someone arrived from Jairus’ house. He told Jairus, ‘Your daughter is dead. Do not ask the teacher to come now’” (v.49)

When the Report Contradicts Your Faith
Saints, this is where most people lose their miracle. The bad news came while Jesus was still demonstrating His power through the woman’s healing. The enemy always sends a discouraging report when you’re closest to your breakthrough.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT:

Bad news in your waiting season is not God changing His mind – it’s the enemy trying to abort your miracle before it manifests. The worse the report, the closer you are to your breakthrough.

THE STRATEGY OF HELL:

Attack your faith with devastating news
Use time pressure to create panic
Discourage further seeking
(“don’t ask the teacher”)

Make the impossible seem final

REVELATION 6:

THE WORD THAT OVERRULES EVERY REPORT

“Jesus heard what the man said. So he said to Jairus, ‘Do not be afraid. Just believe in me. Then she will become well again’” (v.50)

The Authority of Divine Promise
When earth says “it’s over,” heaven says “just believe.” Jesus didn’t argue with the report – He issued a higher decree. His word carries more weight than any doctor’s report, any financial statement, any family diagnosis.

PROPHETIC COMMAND:

“Do not be afraid. Just believe.”

DO NOT BE AFRAID –

Cancel fear’s legal right to your situation

JUST BELIEVE –

Strip away everything else and hold onto faith alone

APPLICATION:

What report are you believing more than God’s word? Today, choose to believe the higher report – the report of the Lord.

REVELATION 7:

THE SELECTIVE PRESENCE

“When they arrived at the house, Jesus would not let everyone go in with him. He took only Peter, John and James. He also let the mother and father of the girl go into the house” (v.51)

The Circle of Faith

Jesus carefully selected who could witness the miracle. Some atmospheres are too toxic for miracles. Some people carry too much doubt to be present when God moves.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT:

God is selective about who witnesses your comeback. Not everyone deserves a front-row seat to your miracle. Some people’s unbelief can hinder what God wants to do.

THE INNER CIRCLE PRINCIPLES:

Faith Attracts Divine Presence – Peter, James, and John had proven faith
Relationship Grants Access – Parents had covenant connection
Doubt Disqualifies Witnesses – Mockers were excluded

REVELATION 8:

THE SOUND OF RESURRECTION

“All the people there were crying loudly because they were very sad. Jesus told them, ‘Do not weep. The child is not dead. She is only asleep’” (v.52)

When God Redefines Your Reality
The crowd saw death; Jesus saw sleep. The crowd heard finality; Jesus heard temporary. Your perspective determines your prayer, and your prayer determines your power.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT:

What you call death, God calls sleep. What you call finished, God calls resting. What you call impossible, God calls opportunity.

THE MOCKERY OF UNBELIEF:

“But the people knew that she had died. So they laughed at him” (v.53)

When God’s word contradicts natural evidence, unbelief always mocks. But their laughter didn’t change Jesus’ power – it revealed their limitation.

REVELATION 9

THE TOUCH OF LIFE

“But Jesus went and held the child’s hand. He said to her, ‘My child, get up.’ Then she became alive again. Immediately she stood up” (v.54-55)

The Gentle Power of Divine Touch
Jesus didn’t shout, didn’t perform elaborate rituals, didn’t make a show. He simply took her hand and spoke life. The gentleness of God carries more power than all the noise of human effort.

THE RESURRECTION PROTOCOL:

Divine Contact – “held the child’s hand”
Personal Address – “My child”
Life Command – “get up”commanding
Immediate Response – “she became alive again”
Complete Restoration – “immediately she stood up”

PROPHETIC APPLICATION:

Today, Jesus is reaching for your hand. He’s calling you “My child.” He’s  your dead situations: “Get up!”

REVELATION 10:

THE WISDOM OF DIVINE TIMING

“Jesus said to her parents, ‘Give her something to eat.’ They were very surprised. Jesus said to them very strongly, ‘You must not tell anyone about what has happened’” (v.55-56)

The Practical Care of God

Notice Jesus’ concern for practical needs – “give her something to eat.” Resurrection power cares about your daily bread. God’s miracles include provision for your practical needs.

THE SILENCE COMMAND:

Why did Jesus command secrecy? Because premature testimony can become a target for the enemy. Some miracles need time to mature before they can be shared.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT:

Not every miracle is meant for immediate public testimony. Some breakthroughs require a season of protection and strengthening before they can withstand public scrutiny.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS FOR TODAY

By the authority of God’s Word and the power of Jesus’ name, I declare over you:

YOUR DESPERATE FAITH IS PULLING ON HEAVEN’S POWER

Like the woman with the issue of blood, your touch of faith is releasing divine virtue

BAD REPORTS DO NOT HAVE THE FINAL SAY

What seems dead in your life is only sleeping, waiting for God’s voice

YOUR BREAKTHROUGH IS NOT

DELAYED, IT’S BEING ORCHESTRATED

God is aligning all circumstances for your complete restoration

FEAR MUST BOW TO FAITH

“Do not be afraid, just believe” is your command for this season

RESURRECTION POWER IS AVAILABLE NOW

The same voice that called the little girl to life is calling your situation to rise

ALTAR CALL

If you’re like Jairus today – a person of position facing impossible circumstances – humble yourself at Jesus’ feet.

If you’re like the woman with the issue of blood – desperate, depleted, but still believing – press through and touch Him by faith.

If you’re facing a “death report” in any area of your life – receive Jesus’ word: “Do not be afraid, just believe.”

Come forward now. Your miracle moment has arrived.

IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, APOSTLE JEAN MULOVERY

“Faith is not the absence of obstacles – it’s the presence of God in the midst of impossibilities.”
