{ Touched - T.D. Jakes }

“You will never reach the end of Him.”

“His riches are unsearchable, His love incomprehensible, His ways pass finding out, you will grow old and still be searching the newness of God, His mercies are new every morning.”

Luke 8:46

“Somebody got something from me. Because I can feel the virtue go out of me.”

Hebrews 4:5-16

“The only thing that God said it was not good was that it was not good for men to be alone.”

“He always takes you to something better, never lesser.”

“God is never in the business of taking you backwards, only forwards. He’s not in the business of diminishing you, He’s in the business of increasing you. He doesn’t want to divide you, He wants to multiply you. He doesn’t want to subtract from you, He wants to add onto you. And wherever God is, He will take you from faith to faith, and from glory to glory.”

“It is getting better and you have to know that by faith because sometimes when He takes some thing or someone, the enemy will tempt you that you life is on a decline. But there is no way that our life can be on a decline and you serve the Lord because He is ever increasing brighter and brighter to a ever perfect day. If He pulled it out, took it away, or moved it, it is only a sign that something is coming that is better than the thing before.”

“Your tears and needs touch Me.”

“Relationship is very intimate; it has touch, feel, stimulation and passion in it.”

“Religion has the tendency to cause people to back away, to be untouchable, to serperate and divide. It tends to hold dear to the principles and let the people go.”

“But God did not so love the world to that He might save principles, God so love the world that He might save people. If you want to know what God cares the most, is the person sitting next, behind and in front of you.”

“He paid the ultimate price that He might express the value of you.”

“Anytime you doubt your worth, you tell the enemy that I must be valuable because Jesus died for me. I must be somebody or He wouldn’t have died for me. No matter what I did, been through or mistakes I made, I got to be value because He shed His blood for me.”

“I am somebody only because Jesus paid the price to recognize my worth.”

“How can you doubt your worth when you already been purchased by the blood of the lamb? There is no debate on your value or worth.”

“We have a High Priest who can be touched. You can reach Him. He is accessible unto you.”

“I can be touched by the feelings of your infirmities (tears/needs) that touch Me.”

“He responses to us on the basis of our need.”

“Whenever you got something that goes beyond the extremities of men’s ability, don’t throw up your hands and think that it can’t be done. Just because a man can’t do it, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. This is a job of Jesus.”

“If you can’t do it, it is just right for Jesus.”

“With walking with God, it is not so much about the destination; it is about the things that happen along the way.”

“We’re so focus on getting from point A to point B, but the greatest lessons are in the journey. It’s in the process, walking it out, getting up everyday waiting on the thing to happen – it is not the thing you hope for that is important, it is the lessons you learn while you wait.”

“He delays the answer so we can learn by the process. If He gave you the promise quickly, you would miss the opportunity to learn from the process. You think the glory is in the promise, the destination, the conclusion, the fulfillment, but the real glory is in the things that happen along the way.”

“Sometimes the problem becomes so big in your life that it swallows up your identity – you begin to lose sight on who He is, on who you are and the only thing that is big to you is your problem.”

“Whenever you start talking more about your problem than you do your promise, you are praising your problem. And whatever you praise will be magnified in your life.”

“When man’s ability fails, that is when Faith erupts. Faith starts at the point of human limitations. You believe God when you run out of options.”

“If you are coming to rock bottom, if you have a problem than you can fix and solve, you are just right for God.”

“Anything can happen.”

“What the world needs now is radical Christians who will do something that has never been done before.”

“We have a will that God respects.”

“Do you want it bad enough to call for it?”

“If the human spirit is that strong, imagine if you add the holy.”

“I’m after something.”

“She kept saying within herself: If I can but touch, if I can but touch, if I can but touch.”

“You must be radical enough to move out of your history and into your destiny.”

“Sometimes you got to press, push, and move ahead.”

“She touched something that was touching Him, and she got healed. It was not by His hand, not anointing but got healed by the stiches in His clothes, the fabric at the bottom of the garment, the dustiness part of the robe and immediately was made whole.”

“It won’t take along – that means suddenly and quickly.”

“It does not take long to get out then to get in. One touch of Jesus will set you free immediately.”

“You don’t have to ask other people, if you have been made whole. You have to know within yourself you have been made whole.”

“Don’t grieve. I am the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. Not only can I heal the former, I can resurrect the latter.”

“Every dead thing under the power of God, He is able to resurrect and stand in line and up on its feet.”

“God is still touching.”

“You don’t have an issue He cannot fix, it is in His grasp.”
