DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the necessity of a personal and intimate
connection with Jesus for true healing and vitality in our lives. He
illustrates that mere rituals or intellectual beliefs are insufficient;
it is the direct touch of the Savior that brings life to our spirits.
Simpson urges believers to lay aside distractions and approach Christ
with a heart full of love and faith, as this is essential for
experiencing His transformative power. The sermon highlights the
importance of abiding in Christ continually to fully realize His healing
presence. Ultimately, it is through this deep relationship that we can
truly live and move in Him.

The hand of Gehazi, and even the staff of Elisha, could not heal the
lifeless boy. It required the living touch of the prophet's own divinely
quickened flesh to infuse vitality into the cold clay. Lip to lip, hand
to hand, heart to heart, he must touch the child before life could
thrill his pulseless veins. We must come into personal contact with the
risen Savior and have His very life quicken our mortal flesh before we
can know the fullness and reality of His healing. This is the most
frequent cause of failure.

People are often trusting in something that his been done to them, or in
something that they have done, or in something that they have believed
intellectually.

Their spirit, however, has not felt its way to the heart of Christ; they
have not drawn His love into their being by the hunger and thirst of
love and faith, and so they are not quickened. The greatest need of our
souls and bodies is to know Jesus personally, to touch Him constantly,
to abide in Him continually. May we this day lay aside all things that
could hinder our near approach to Him and walk hand in hand, heart to
heart, with Jesus.
