Healing an Issue of Blood
Mat 9:20-22 “… a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, if I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take comfort, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.
Luke, a physician, goes into more clinical detail in the case.
Luke 8: 43-48 “And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
When Jesus saw her He was aware of her physical problem of uterine hemorrhage and He was also aware of her soul problem of mental anxiety. After all, she was bleeding for 12 years with no assurance from her physicians that she would ever be cured. Jesus also recognized the faith and her humility of her spirit. By telling her to go in peace, He comforted her in knowing that she was healed completely in body, soul and spirit and that she would no longer have to fear a recurrence of her abnormal uterine bleeding.
And when you pray,,,
Mat 6:5 “.And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth; they have received their reward in full”.
Mat 6:6 “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you”.
Notice there was no great theatric display by Jesus that a healing had taken place. Not even His disciples were aware of it. The woman prayed in silence But Jesus knew that power (δύναμις dynamis) had gone out from Him and the power went to a person.
Notice, also, that the woman never even touched Jesus, only His garment. Did the garment she touched have an intrinsic healing power? No. It was probably a woolen garment Jesus wore as a priest when ministering to people. Jesus was ministering under Mosaic Law and a woolen garments was required while ministering to the people. After the death of John the Baptist, Jesus became the high priest but He was not recognized as such by either the Sanhedrin or by the majority of the people. He was only recognized in his human form. His power as the Son of God was hidden by his human body. As a servant his glory was covered by a fleshy body. As Jehovah-Rophe, healing power radiated from his human body and was captured by his garment in such a way as to bring about a healing in the woman who touched it. We know that the healing power came from within him because He said He felt “the power go out”. Where did it go? It went into an area outside of Jesus’ body where the cloak was worn and into the woman’s body when she touched the garment. The space surrounding Jesus contained the same energetic power that came out from within Jesus’ body. It was a continuum of energy from within Jesus.It carried specific information that brought about healing and had specific direction… no one else was healed.
Jesus turned and saw her
In Greek (εἶδον eidon) means to see, perceive with the eyes or senses, experience any state or condition
When Jesus looked at the woman what did He see? What was it about her condition that was distinctly different than others who were crowding around him? What did He experience about her present state of being? What information did Jesus’ brain record that came through his eyes, and was transmitted neurologically to His visual cortex in the occipital lobe of his brain? Was there a signal coming from the woman’s body that Jesus could sense? Was there something about this woman that related to the Kingdom of God? After all Matthew generally presented Christ as King and the theme of his writing was about the Kingdom of God.
He saw a woman who had uterine bleeding on the physical level. On the emotional or soulish level, He saw that she was discouraged because of her chronic illness. On the spiritual level He saw her faith. He recognized that she had confidence that she could be healed by Him.
The act of seeing her was not a prerequisite by Jesus to heal because she came up from behind him. Even Jesus asked the question “Who touched me?” Actual healing occurred at the moment the garment was touched.
Jesus attributed her healing to her faith. In effect, Jesus was saying that the physiologic process of healing was affected by a discrete spiritual entity of faith; that the immeasurable spirit affected the measurable body. By being healed of uterine bleeding she demonstrated that this relationship held true.
Energy Within the Body
Energy exists in all living beings, both plants and animals. It has been known as chi in China, ki in Japan and prana in India.(Editors. Energy Conversion. Volume 18 ed. Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., 1998; Hendrix ML. Encarta Encyclopedia Microsoft , 2000)
In traditional Chinese medicine internal energy, chi, flows in channels called meridians. (Kaptchuk T. The Web That Has No Weaver, NY: Congdon & Weed, Inc., 1983). Chi moves as an electric current in channels with specific velocity and direction. Electromagnetic energy in these channels is organized as codes of information that are conducted throughout the body and beyond. Subtle electromagnetic signals originate in the body, each with its own specific site of origin. For example, the uterus has an electromagnetic signal that originates in uterine tissue and is conducted to the skin where it can be detected on the bladder meridian, on the outside part of the foot. The lining of the uterus, the endometrium is detected on the meridian located on the inner part of the thigh. (Speckhart VJ An Electrodermal Analysis of Biological Conductance, 2002). For details of how to detect these signals see: Electrodermal screening.www.servias.org
In the created realm everything vibrates. The following diagram shows the progressively increasing frequencies of structures in biological specimens that are able to be detected by electronic instruments. There are other dimensions of structure yet to be discovered which cannot be measured directly at all. It is theorized that space time is not just 4 dimensional but 10 dimensional, the remaining 6 dimensions being too small to measure.
The following signals can be detected in animal subjects:

This diagram shows that waves are derived from a variety of sources radiating throughout the body. These waves can be measured as oscillating (+) and (-) electrical charges that combine to make more complex waves such as subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, cells, tissues and organs. Each of these wave forms produce signals that produce low levels of energy or subtle energy. The energy radiates from discrete sites of origin in the body through discrete electromagnetic pathways to detection sites on the skin. Ancient literature described these energy pathways as meridians. Signals in the skin can be detected by electronic means. In the body, waves have a positive and negative charge. As a result of being closely packed, electrical charges interfere with each other. The net result is a wave that projects information from a specific site in the body to the surface of the skin and beyond.
Each electromagnetic code conveys information that affects every other electromagnetic code. This means that every electromagnetic signal in the body is continually affected by every other electromagnetic signal. As an example, your left ear is always electromagnetically aware of your right big toe. Every electromagnetic signals in space-time affects every other electromagnetic signal to some degree.
In the present case faith in Jesus Christ affected the uterus and was one of the essential elements needed for healing. Is this one of the 6 dimensions of creation yet to be recognized?
Light
When we use the term “light,” we are referring to types of electromagnetic waves which stimulates the retina of our eyes. Visible light consists of a spectrum of wavelengths which range from approximately 700 nanometers to approximately 400 nanometers. Expressed in more familiar units, the range of wavelengths extends from 7 x 10-7 meter to 4 x 10-7 meter. This narrow band of color consisted of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet waves.

Electromagnetic fields surround plants and animals. These fields represent electromagnetic waves with a variety of frequencies. When the waves are in the visible spectrum they are perceived as color.
Color Vision
Color vision is the capacity to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect or emit.
Cone photoreceptors in the eye are sensitive to different portions of the visible spectrum. For humans, the visible spectrum ranges approximately from 380 to 740 nm. There are normally three types of cones according to their wavelength: short (S), medium (M), and long (L) cone types, also sometimes referred to as blue, green, and red cones. These are more active in daylight (Photopic). The other kinds of photoreceptor are rods which function at low levels light such as at night (scotopic). They are most sensitive to wavelengths near 555 nm. Between regions for rods and cones there is another region with both rod and cones (mesopic) that also sends signals to the retinal ganglion cells. Electromagentic waves from sources that emit or reflect light pass through the following structures: cornea> anterior chamber of the eye> lens>vitreous body>retina>retina ganglia>retinal nerve, crossing the midline>thalamus>optic radiations> visual cortex in the occipital lobe in the brain. Numerous hues of color can be distinguished by the brain.

Healing must have occurred during the daylight hours since we are told that he “saw the woman”. Since cones operate in daylight, Jesus’ cones were most active and capable to respond to color
Auras
Subtle energy within the body produces color. Once in the space outside of the body, subtle radiations of energy no longer have a restricted to meridian pathways as when they are within the body. They now appear in the peripheral field of vision as electromagnetic fields of color called auras.
Auras produced by subtle energy radiations of the body should not to be confused with Photographic auras. Photographic Auras are computer generated images of electromagnetic aura fields that are color coordinated electronically by sensors on a screen. A camera generated photo image of a person is superimposed on the colored electronic aura image generated by the background screen. The amplified image of the electromagnetic field is an artificial representation of the natural, low energy electromagnetic aura. It is not the same as the natural aura that can be visualized by the unaided visual apparatus of the normal eye. Much information has been gained by the study the photography of electromagnetically amplified fields especially in bio feedback training for various emotional disorders.
Most people cannot see auras because they are not disciplined to do so, but there are individuals who can see auras naturally, some more so than others. Young children are especially adept at seeing auras. Even in ancient cultures some drawings depict auras surrounding some painted subjects.
Jesus, as creator of the universe, was in complete command of all of the laws in His creation including the biological laws relating to the interpretation of aura patterns and colors and could instantly recognize everything about one’s body, soul and spirit.
Attributes of the Overcomers
The Holy Spirit described the healing of this woman to Matthew in such a way so as to reveal a Kingdom characteristic of those who are of the first resurrection, those who have the character of the Pattern Son, Jesus Christ.
Those who rule during this age will judge in righteousness. They will be able to see things hidden and will be able to see truth and not be deceived by the deception of words or actions. They will be able to look at the total man and determine in his true state. He will not be able to hide anything.
When Jesus looked at Nathanael he saw from afar an aura of an Israelite in whom there was nothing false.When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false (no guile).” John 1:47. Without even talking to Nathanael, Jesus was able to determine Nathanael’s true character.
Those who are glorified in the Tabernacles Age will do even greater things.
