Jesus wants to give you a “second touch" - many of God’s people today are in need of a “second touch.” Jesus wants to touch them again and complete the healing process. He wants to give you a new beginning, a fresh start, a brand-new day. You may feel as if your business is dead, your marriage is dead, your health is dead, or even your hope is dead. You can come alive again. The resurrection power of Christ can reverse every “dead” situation in your life. Even long-standing problems can be remedied. But you must draw near and receive His healing touch. Nothing is too difficult for the Lord. He can turn your mourning into dancing … your ashes into beauty … and your nighttime into a bright new day

 Do You Need a Second Touch?

One of the most intriguing stories in the Bible is found in Mark 8:22-26, where a blind man was brought to Jesus for healing. 

"22 And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored Him to touch him. 

"23 Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, 'Do you see anything?' 

"24 And he looked up and said, 'I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around.' 

"25 Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. 

"26 And He sent him to his home, saying, 'Do not even enter the village.'"

After laying His hands on this man, Jesus asked if he could now see anything.

“I see men like trees, walking,” the man replied (verse 24). 

Recognizing that the healing wasn’t yet complete, Jesus again touched his eyes, “And he was restored and saw everyone clearly” (verse 25).

Just like the man in this story, many of God’s people today are in need of a “second touch.” 

Perhaps they’ve already experienced a partial healing or a partial breakthrough in their marriage, children, finances, or emotions. 

But Jesus wants to touch them again and complete the healing process.

Whatever your issue may be, Jesus wants to give you a new beginning … a fresh start … a brand new day.

Even long-standing problems can be remedied in mere moments but you must draw near and receive His healing touch until your turnaround comes.

Coming Alive Again

In 2 Kings 13:21 a dead man is dropped into the grave of the prophet Elisha. 

As soon as his dead body hit the bones of the man of God, he came back to life!

Today, you may feel as if your business is dead, your marriage is dead, your health is dead, or even your hope is dead. 

But I have good news: You can come alive again! 

The resurrection power of Christ can reverse every “dead” situation in your life!

Remember: 

Nothing is too difficult for the Lord (Jeremiah 32:27). 

He can turn your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11)  

 … your ashes into beauty (Isaiah 61:3)    

… and your nighttime into a bright new day.
