He Touched Me

September 19th, 2008 by Carl Thomas.

It just happened.  Every Friday night I grab a microphone, walk on stage, and preach the Word.  But my people don’t come for me.  They come for Jesus.  The folks at The Mission care far less about religion and formality then they care about coming into contact with the Savior.  And every Friday it’s the job of Sergio and I to lead them there.  But I can’t do it if I have not been there.

So every Friday I purpose in my heart to touch Jesus.  Sometimes it does not happen till worship Friday nights.  I get a little worried on those nights.  Other times it happens early in the day.  Today was one of those days.

I began to worship Jesus and praise Him for His saving grace when He came into the room.  Now, he was not here physically, I know.  But He did not show up physically the day I met Him either.  But He came into the room none-the-less.  And then it happened, He touched me.  When that happens everything changes.

Without the touch of Jesus, all I have is a sermon.  After I touch Him, I get a message.  When I touch Jesus, He reveals His heart to me.  He reveals His love to me.  He reveals His plans to me.

Up until 20 minutes ago I had sermon ideas for tonight.  Now I have a message from the Master.

He touched me,
Oh, He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul.
Something happened and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.<

    Wow that is a post I can relate to. When my Pastor is called away or on Vacation he generally ask me to speak on Sundays. Everytime I’ve step out in faith, and believed he would give me a word he has always been faithful to deliver. In the past I could actually feel the anointing, but this last week I didn’t feel “it”. As I spoke to the people I was wondering is it me, or are they just not getting this word. After the service quite a few folks came up to me and said how blessed they were by the message. I guess preaching when you don’t feel “it” means trusting God, and His word and not our feelings. But I much rather preach when I feel “it’. Keep preaching Brother!
