Matthew 8:1-3 (NIV) 1When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 3Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
The Jews lumped all types of skin diseases under one category. God had given Moses specific instruction about quarantining those who had skin disease. They were to live apart from others. If anyone approached them they had to warn them by shouting, “Unclean!”. To touch a person that had a skin disease required the one who touched them to go through a cleansing ritual to see if they had contracted the disease. This man’s disease must have been quite obvious. He may have had what we call leprosy. There was no need to tell Jesus what it was that he needed cleansing from.
It is hard to imagine not having the touch of another person for a long period of time. The man must have been not only suffering physically but emotionally as well. As he yelled, “Unclean!”, the people parted as if an invisible wedge cleared the way to Jesus. “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” The man expressed His faith in the ability of Jesus. He called Him a master. Jesus does not have servants and great wealth. He is a different kind of lord. He is master over His creation.
Then Jesus did something that required faith. He touched the man. If the man was not immediately cured, Jesus would have been considered defiled. Jesus would have to go through the cleansing ritual. Jesus responded, “I am willing. Be clean!” His touch and words made the man whole. We cannot defile Jesus. His purity overcomes our defilement. He is willing to touch and cleanse you. Are you suffering? Know that He is willing. He will touch you. His purity is greater than your defilement.
Consider: Jesus is willing to reach out and touch you.

WHY BELIEVING YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW MEANS YOU ARE SHUT UP FROM A SAVING FAITH- Gal.3:23-26
By Edward O’Hara , As I have said many times before. If you are defining sin by what the law says you are in the wrong covenant. The reason this is so very important for we who profess to believe in Jesus is that being in the wrong covenant keeps us from knowing Him and having the eternal life that is only made possible by knowing Him. This is why Paul said in Gal.3:23 while Israel was under the law they were “shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.” A faith that Paul says in Rom.10:17 “comes by hearing. And hearing by the word of God.” To show that faith for eternal life is only found in the New Covenant. And could not be found in the Old. Which is why we see that those in the…
Watchman’s Daily Devotional: The Journey Is Full of Trials. Those Trials Cause Grief, but They Also Accomplish a Purpose. They Prove Our Faith, Like Precious Metal Is Purified by Fire. They Burn out the Impurities of Our Worldly Ideas and Misguided Doctrines
1 Peter 1:6-8 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, Peter is discussing the paradox of the Christian life. We have a promising future awaiting us. The strength of the divine is sustaining us until we reach our destination. He mentions that this leads to great rejoicing. If you’re not filled with joy, you may not have fully…
Watchman: TX Attorney General Responds After Texas Supreme Court Blocks Guaranteed Income Program; Now, Voter Buying Is Preferred by Elitists
By SRH, The Texas Supreme Court issued an emergency stay, instructing Democrat-controlled Harris County not to implement a guaranteed income program and stopping the county from making payments until the court takes further action. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit earlier this month requesting an urgent order to prevent Uplift Harris, the guaranteed income program, from sending payments to citizens, claiming that it violates both the US and Texas constitutions. On Tuesday, the state supreme court granted his request, one day ahead of the scheduled payments. The Texas Supreme Court stated in its temporary ruling that, without considering the merits, the court grants an administrative stay, prohibiting real parties in interest and their agents from making payments under the Uplift Harris program pending further order of this Court. “Without regard to the merits, the order prohibits the county…

Wall Street & Municipal Banking in Crisis. Global Stock Markets Will Crash. FED’s Fake Money Can’t Prop U.S. Much Longer.
Featured Story: The Bible reminds us to stay vigilant and protect our hearts from the corruption of sin. Evil can only infiltrate our lives if we allow it to take root in our hearts, much like a vampire needing an invitation into your home. The first step in this spiritual battle is acknowledging its existence and sincerely examining your heart. Remember, “For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed-a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’” (Romans 1:17) Realize that there is a war going on, and you are a part of it. Whether you like it or not, we are all involved in the ongoing spiritual warfare between good and evil. If you choose not to participate in the battle, you will still be…
Watchman: mRNA Vaccine-Vaccinated Meat From Animals May Soon Be Found in US Food Supplies. Shrimp, Pigs, and Cattle Are Just a Few of the Food Sources Being Targeted by mRNA Gene Therapy Technology–A New Way To Kill
The range of food sources targeted by mRNA gene therapy technology is growing and now includes shrimp. Through its orally delivered RNA-particle technology, an Israeli firm looking to introduce mRNA vaccines to shrimp farming has raised $8.25 million from a consortium of venture investors to support and enhance animal health in marine species. A biotechnology company called ViAqua developed an RNA-based vaccination that modifies shrimp gene expression via ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi). In RNA interference (RNAi), targeted mRNA molecules are neutralized to prevent the translation or expression of certain genes. The vaccine is a coated feed supplement made to increase resistance to the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), a virus that reduces shrimp output worldwide by 15% and results in an annual loss of roughly $3 billion. Every meal containing ViAqua’s coated product may have RNA molecules that suppress…

Watchman: Justice Department Appears to Be Pursuing Trump ‘Pretty Hard’,There’s One Option Left, Attempted Assassination of President Trump… Donald Trump Is a Nearly Unstoppable Force of Nature
I have a strong suspicion that the Democrats and the DOJ are plotting to have Trump assassinated; if this goes forward, he will be brought into the light. In my opinion, it is abundantly clear that this is not a promising sign, and I believe that they will not give up until he is dead! Tucker Carlson Raises Alarms Over Trump’s Safety: ‘Speeding Toward Assassination’ Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has raised alarm about the possibility of attempts on the life of former President Donald Trump, claiming that the ongoing legal challenges to Trump suggest a growing desperation by Democrats to prevent Trump from retaking executive power.
