The Touch of the Master

Posted by Dion Todd August 4th, 2021 5,774 Views 0 Comments

Wherever he entered'into villages, or into cities, or into the country'they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well. Mark 6:56 WEB.

As we knelt down to pray together, my friend had mixed emotions of fear, conviction, and uncertainty. At that moment, He questioned whether Jesus was even real. We had played music together for several months and become good friends. He didn't go to church but knew I was attending bible college.

What we had in common was that most weekends, we were playing in a bar together. I had prayed about leaving the band and even had the pastor pray with me, but the Lord had told me to stay. In the end, it paid my way through school, and a couple of people got saved along the way.

I was just one of the band members, but I guess they watched and listened. Finally, after a spontaneous sermon in the parking lot of a bar one night, my friend broke down in tears said: "Dion, you're different from the others. I want what you have." So we knelt down and prayed together, and He met Jesus. When we came up from our knees, he had a glow about him and a smile from ear to ear. His doubts were gone. He was touched by the Lord Jesus and never the same.

The touch of the Master can melt the hardest of hearts, but you have to initiate it. You have to reach out to Him. The Lord is a gentleman, and He won't force His way into your busy schedule. Yet, He is always near us. So stop a moment, and invite Him to be a part of your life. If you don't know Him, start your relationship with: "Lord Jesus, please save me." The rest will come from the Master's touch.

Prayer: Dear Jesus, please come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Forgive me of my past, and guide me from this day forth. I want to have a relationship with You! I surrender to You, Lord. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, and work Your perfect will in my life. In Your name, I pray. Amen!

Eco Version .553: I added two new theme choices: Gold Dust, and Silver Mist. These work pretty well with dark or light backgrounds. You can change your theme settings by clicking the "gear" icon on the top menu. If you have a favorite color you would like to see, feel free to request it. We may be able to add holiday themes later! 😀
