" Be not afraid, only believe!" Such beautiful advice for this day and age!
Your telling the story of the woman with an issue to blood struck me so hard. Yesterday, my daughter turned 41. She has been ill since a few weeks old. No doctors can help her and she's been bedridden most of her life. The pain she suffers is indescribable. She knows all about being ostracized, ridiculed, ignored, mocked and hated. Even today, noncontagious people are the untouchables. Yet we keep praying that we might touch the hem, even a thread of Christ's robe. Your inspired words have lifted my heart and given the hope I need to continue on. I pray you will be blessed for your gift to us.
I can't imagine just how hard this has surely been. So incredible what your family has surely had to and continues to go through. You have my prayers. You have my deepest and sincerest prayers.
Oh Father, please, please, please, let this incredible daughter touch the hem, even just a thread of Christ's robe. Oh Father, please have mercy. Surely, surely, it has been long enough. Surely, it has been more than long enough.
But, if not, oh Father, please give strength to her and her family to continue to endure it well and bless all those that come in contact with this special soul, to be inspired to serve her and her family. Send all the angels that can be sent. Send all the blessings that can be sent. Send all the miracles that can be sent. Oh Father, mercy, please, mercy. In the name of the Lord of Mercy, Jesus Christ, Amen.
I have read your sweet pleading, how you wish your daughter could touch his clothing. I too wish that for her and for me. I had a childhood. I started getting sick when I was 30, and now I am 63. It is hard to wait on God and endure to the end. Love and prayers
Keep up the good work, Brother Halverson. You're being raked through the mud I see, which means you're winning! Without doubt, you will come out bright and clean. You're an inspiration! Thank you!
Would love to pray for your daughter...
Prayers and blessings for your daughter and your family.
Brother Halverson, I feel indebted to YOU for your lessons that you teach always with much love and insight and with the spirit. I am mostly bedridden and have been struggling with spinal compression fractures for the last 10-1/2 years. I so look forward to each day as I feel I’m sitting at the Savior’s feet learning of Him as He lovingly reaches out to us through you. I just can’t thank you enough! Prayers for you and your family!
I love these studies! They are what get me through long work days as I listen to them and try my best not to cry in front of my coworkers! I'm thinking of making a t-shirt for myself just to help other people learn about it more!
The Holy Spirit has opened and touched my mind eyes. With humility, Thank you Heavenly Father to answer my prayers through you, Brother Halverson, my brother keeper❣️
So wonderful, so spiritual and so, so interesting!! All your words! Your sense of humor! Great all. Thank you for your sacrifice in giving us so much. The Lord has given you talent in teaching and you are magnifying it fully. Thank you!
Our purpose on earth is to develop a relationship with Christ. To be His. Pride stops us. Pride keeps us out of the Temple. Do not puff up in pride and blame those with sufficient faith for refusing to honor non believers in the House of God. Great sacrifice and martyrdom prepared the way. There is no room for ill content in it. Replace such with faith, love and good works thus you too can let the miracles in as you step onto holy ground. Repent all ye unbelievers for time is short. Behold He cometh quickly and is even at the door.
Elder Halverson, there are no words to explain how grateful I am for your sacrifices to help everyone like me to understand the gospels soooooo very much better than we, or I, could have understood it on our, or my, own. You and your family's sacrifices are an unexplicably ETERNAL BLESSINGS FOR HEEAVENLY FATHER'S KINGDOM here and in Paradise. Thank you all so much. Please continue to go MAD (Make A Difference) for GOD in the WONDERFUL name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
One thing occurred to me during your explanation of the woman with the issue of blood.
During menopause I had a similar thing happen to me for 4 weeks straight and I collapsed and was unable to move and needed a transfusion.
That woman who had suffered so much for so long must have been so weak that the effort to get to Jesus must have taken every last ounce of strength and will she possessed.
This makes her faith all the more real to me.
While listening to your intensely insightful teaching on the healing of the woman with an issue of blood, the thought came to me that we all, men and women, have "an issue of blood". It is our blood that makes us mortal, that drives our mortal bodies, which house the 'natural' human being. The 'natural man' (and woman) is an enemy to God and as we constantly repent of our mortal issues - breaking commandments and forgetting covenants, we need constant healing. And as you so appropriately pointed out, we need to take those issues to the sacrament table each week with broken hearts and contrite spirits and accept the grace so mercifully offered to us each time we renew our covenants. The Gospel is not just "Good News" - it is the Best News ever! Thank you so much for the amazing insights you share with us.
Amen sister😇👍
Thank you so much for sharing your inspired explanation to the hurting grandma who couldn’t attend her granddaughter’s temple dealing. I will use that to help some dear family members 1:11:21 that won’t be able to attend my granddaughter’s temple wedding in June. I thank the Lord for you and your family night . You enrich my life and deepen my gospel understanding weekly. ❤thank you so very much!!!
For the first time I answered questions in Sunday School because of the way you taught me last week Thank You Mark
Thank you for bringing the New Testament to life. I love listening to your beautiful lessons
1:20:22 I watched, listened with faith. This touched my heart. I rewound it and had my husband come listen.
Thank so much for your dedication, its really helps me spiritually , these lesson touch my heart ❤️. God bless you brother!😊
I love his take on who should enter the temple.
I think the church should make a movie out of your presentation with both of these events. A lot of thinking and detail went into this lesson I know. Excellent lesson! I was glued to this lesson until you ended it. Even if it was a couple more hours longer that would have been great. I have to say that is at least a⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ lesson! Thank you very much for this great listen!
Full-fledged 3-N sinnner here. Bro Halverson, Thank you for OPENING the scriptures and my eyes every week. I am grateful for all I am learning through the combination of the study materials AND your videos.
Virtue flowing from a place of high concentration to low concentration. I love it. Thank you.
✨Thank You
For Sharing Your Wisdom. ♥️🕊
Thank you so much! 😍👏
Amen!! Thank you for this great word of God. There are many teachings in this word. Lord please help me to help spreading the Gospel. Give me the boldness to speak . I'm always talking Anyway. Thank you. In Jesus name. Amen
Lucky me I have Ulcerative Colitis…. It’s basically a full intestine bleed… constantly…… this woman is on my mind daily….. so thankful for her healing…. So much hope for mine❤️
I really relate to the woman with an issue of blood. I had a fungus in my blood from drinking raw milk that left me totally exhausted for 15 yrs. Which was the same time I was birthing our children. The doctors I went to couldn't figure out the problem and I was diagnosed with everything from low blood sugar, to depression, to suppressing terrible memories. I went to a doctor of natural medicine that was immediately able to correctly diagnose the problem. I thought about this woman from the scriptures a lot during my "issue of Blood" years.
I have enjoyed your lessons and they have taught me a better way to study scripture. To really see, and feel. With that said, I thought about the woman with the issue of blood and how she was healed with a touch. The interesting thought for me was that many others had touched the Lord as they were walking, but, only the woman was healed.
Thank you... with this1:32:20 you touched EVERY nerve! In a good way. Thank YOU!
Brother Jared…to your emphasis on being timid, even unworthy to approach the Lord in all our unworthiness, our sins and guilt….these things are constantly used against us by the adversary. His desire is to keep us bound eternally in our fears, and guilty feelings…. This I was convinced of for 19 years of turning away from the Lord.. once I realized how willing the Lord is to embrace me in the arms of His merciful love…my whole life was changed…and now I walk in His light every day upon the covenant path…my confidence waxing stronger and stronger in our Fathers pure light of truth and wisdom…His Only Begotten Son…who’s arms are stretched wide to receive all who will come to Him. Jared, your lessons over these past years have been part of this light that I now have eyes to see…Keep up the good work my brother❤️😇. David
Agree 100% - I was in that state for over 21 years! As I said in my comment, this gospel isn't just 'good news', it's the 'best news'!
Thank you.
Such a wonderful take. It occurred to me that I need to strive to press through the crowd to touch the garment of Christ each and every day, in both so-called good or bad times. Not just when I have so-called pressing issues and/or I or others in my life are suffering.
Bro Jared, your tender and compassionate understanding of this woman with the issue of blood brought me to tears.
After 12 years she would have been dangerously anemic and suffering from physical exhaustion...another possible reason that she instantly knew she was healed might have been because her anemia was healed along with the issue of blood. Suddenly, she had energy and knew she was healed.
Kia Ora Bro. Halverson,
Thank you so very much for your wonderful lessons🎉❤🎉
I had some awesome, sublime experiences at EFY at BYU and BYU Idaho. How I wish I was younger! I'm a young 38. I'm in the central Texas area, and it'd be so cool, but I bet I'm too old, but that's okay. :) I love these presentations! I love how you draw out every good point, and look at the different facets of the events, and expound upon details. Thinking about the woman with the issue of blood, I was moved to tears, and felt like that could so easily be applied to myself and others, with whatever "issues" or circumstances we find ourselves in. Just, wow. How intimately aware the Savior is of us, and His Mastery in dealing, even working with us, as we cooperate and do our part
Vilma here...the wife of the late Rolando Bawalan, the owner of this account. I preferred to keep since if I change...a lot of memories will be deleted. Sorry...long explanation.
I love listening to Bro. Jared lesson. When I woke up early, the first thing I did is to play the CZcams of your lesson and really...you made it as if we are on the scene of event. I understand the Gospel deeper and my battle now is to exercise obedience with exactness. But with how you presented the Savior...how He is so loving, forgiving, merciful and all attributes that He is there...always extending His hand to let us feel that He is always reaching and loving and helping to have hope for the hopeless...particularly this lesson. Really I was one of those in need of SPIRITUAL HEALING so as PHYSICAL that it may always have strength to obey.
AS I LEARN AND KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, I know...I can overcome all and improve more.
I can understand the anxiety of the Woman with the Issue as she feared she may be discovered . As a woman training to work with Orthodox Jewish Women in our community about thirty years ago, I was warned very clearly, that I must never offer to shake hands with the father in the home I was visiting, as he would decline because I could be, yes , ritually unclean at that time. I learned to respect the customs of these beautiful people and was also taught of the importance of the Mikvah (Ritual Bath) in our community in regards ritual regular cleansing today, We even had a mobile Mikvah in the streets of the suburb where I worked.
So powerful.
🙏❤❤❤❤ i love listening the gospel of Jesus Christ....
Thank you so much for this inspired message. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now today, which happens more than you know. I really appreciate you and the Spirit as you work so well together to bring the gospel to my heart. I pray for you and your family and hope that this great sacrifice you're making will be for your good.
I’m 48 & you’re explanation of why only recommend holders can enter the temple is the best one I’ve ever heard. Maybe I haven’t listened good enough before. Thank you so much
I so love studying our scriptures and Yes I tend to talk to the scriptures , and put my self in the stories in the gospels.
I have read The Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Coveident,Pearl of Great Price
All this year!
I love that I have been able to do it
It's been happening.gifs years ago I was able to read so many books
Eyes are not so good,plus head issues.
I'm being blessed to have abilities with help with the Church App.
"I've heard of marriages being cancelled. I don't know that I've ever heard of a funeral being cancelled."
It's no wonder that the fame spread abroad of the raising of the daughter of Jairus.
She "touched" Jesus with intention, complete faith, no doubt.
We need to do the same .
It would help if you could clip the segment on the Evangelical grandmother not being able to attend the temple wedding. It was profound, and can be used by many of us.
Making the connection of the girl’s age and the number of years the woman had suffered gave me goose bumps. So beautiful. It made me think of a possible other connection. 12 years old is often when girls begin to menstruate. Could this also be a poetic connection of the joy of the beginning of womanhood for one girl as the the difficulties of womanhood manifests in another?
Love all I learn and am able to ponder because of your class. Thank you for giving of your time to the Unshaken community
Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise, yea, let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth work righteousness forever.
I personally believe that Jesus knew EXACTLY who touched Him. He could have pointed an accusing finger at her. Instead, he gives her the opportunity to confess. Just like He does with all of us!
Thanks for bringing so much life to the story of the women with the issue of blood. I felt it in a new, more personal way. Grateful for you!
Who created the painting on the video thumbnail? (The hand reaching for the hem of the Savior's robe as He passed)
His name is Yongsung Kim, an amazing artist from Korea. I love his artwork!
Did Jarius have faith enough when his daughter was “only” sick, enough faith to seek Jesus under that condition. Was the faith of Jarius pushed to its limits after hearing word that she is dead, but then wrestling mentally with Jesus’ comforting & reassuring words. When Jarius entered his home, a home of chaos with mourners weeping & wailing that then turned into scorning laughter-a roller coaster of thoughts & emotions-his faith really being put to test of believing, sorting through the information & feelings. Did he need to dismiss people inside his home/lives in order to have the faith needed/sufficient for the miracle of Jesus to take place? He had to listen, hear, adhere & follow through with what Jesus was telling him to do. Then finally the miracle hoped for, was brought to past & enjoyed.
In last weeks lesson on Jesus’ miracles, you pointed out evidences of faith that preceded the miracles and also Jesus’ attributes, why he would want to preform them. Thinking about that with this weeks lesson, some things came to mind. Jesus has “ time” for everyone, the woman with the issue of blood got the time she needed, he didn’t tell her “wait. You’re next”. And the ambulance driver, was his faith being tested? I wasn’t hearing any complaints from him, no hurry! hurry! even tho his daughter was on the brink of death or already there. Was he clinging to that faith or resting comfortably in it?
And becos of his faith, his great patient faith, he was rewarded/ blessed with his daughters life.
Just some early morning musings from the back of the class…
And then I turn you on this morning to continue, and you’re talking about more than one miracle taking place, and while we’re impatiently waiting our turn, someone who has been waiting a long, long time is being helped..
Questions and answers, wish I was in your live class!

55:13 HIGHLIGHT
Imagine Jesus coming to our sacrament meeting, and after taking the sacrament, takes the stand and asks “who touched me? Who came to the sacrament table broken, and now feels healed? Who came with heavy burdens, and now feels me next to them, shouldering the weight? Who came praying for a miracle, and is now certain it will come their way? Who reached out, and felt my virtue flow into them?”
I hope that I can fall at his feet and say “I did”
1:25:00 add your faith to the pile.
1:20:00 faith and the temple
1:35:00..temple marriage
The fringe on Christ's robe doesn't just remind me of prayer robes, but priestly robes. What is Priesthood power? The virtue going out of the Savior was Priesthood power.
Bro. H. Please dont use the word Stories,they can be real or fake. But Events, are actual. Which I believe these events were recorded, for us all. Thank you for your love and insights.
Tell Me the Stories of Jesus
1. Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear,
Things I would ask him to tell me if he were here.
Scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea,
Stories of Jesus, tell them to me.
2. Oh, let me hear how the children stood round his knee.
I shall imagine his blessings resting on me;
Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace,
All in the love-light of Jesus’ face.
3. Tell me, in accents of wonder, how rolled the sea,
Tossing the boat in a tempest on Galilee!
And how the Master, ready and kind,
Chided the billows and hushed the wind.
I also wonder if the woman with an issue of blood, maybe this means she hasn’t been able to have any children for the past 12 years or worse, what if the birth of a child was what initiated the initial cause of the issue of blood & so she had to remove herself from her child for the past 12 years, thinking about the child’s health & safety above the possibility of contaminating the child, thus she has been away from her child over the past 12 years…a true heart ache.
I'd love your opinion on the theory that says Matthew's account is prophetic for the Jews, Mark is for the unbelievers, Luke is for Gentiles/Christians and John is for the Bride/"elite"
I think you’re onto something :) he could be saying something like “she’s as good as dead” or that for all I know she’s dead. So much to ponder and unpack:)
Listening to you talk about the woman with the issue of blood, I couldn't get Kenneth Cope's song, "Close Enough to Touch" out of my head. Such a moving song! czcams.com/video/IIPvE65Z1Xg/video.html
I hope I'm not being picky, but I wonder why you refer to "Dr Nelson" instead of "President Nelson"? Ps. I know President Nelson was a heart surgeon...
Hi Michelle, Do you think President Nelson would be offended by being called Dr Nelson?
Brother Halverson was specifically referring to insights that "Dr. Nelson" gained in his medical practice that increased his faith. I'm personally incredibly grateful for the insights that a younger "Dr. Nelson" learned that an older "President Nelson" now uses to teach us all and bless the world.
Dr. Nelson was his professional title for many decades of his life, and when referring to his experiences as a younger man, calling him by that title seems incredibly appropriate. I guess that maybe I'm not comprehending what your concern is about this.
She may have had diverticulitis. Which has nothing to do with menstruation.
It's possible. But diverticulitis is more common among modern Western men with an unhealthy western diet and it doesn't always cause bleeding. With the little information we do have of this women, it seems more likely she was suffering from a menstrual issue since that was more obviously having to do with blood and it had been going on for so long. I know a woman in my own life who had to have medical intervention for similar menstrual issues.
13:40 You ought to be careful regarding the term "gender issues". If one were to use the colloquial parlance in understanding your comment, they could infer that you are advocating something contrary to the family proclamation. Your point is of course valid that Jesus was ahead of his time on empowering women, the outcast, etc. But your terminology left open the doorway open for inferring far more than appears intended. Be careful adopting the popular secular parlance.
Thank you for your caution! I definitely wouldn't want to take that to the extreme the world has, but would love to catch up to Jesus in that and every other regard!
