Chapter 11: A Touch from God
Subtitle: How God’s Touch Awakens, Transforms, and Aligns Your Life
The Power of Touch
Let’s begin with a word of prayer:
“Father, I just want to thank You. As I come before You, I ask for forgiveness of sin. Father, I pray that as I open my mouth, the words I share will be beneficial and a blessing to those who hear. Let people be edified and built up by receiving this word. We declare it in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
We’re so glad you’ve joined us again. As we move into this next phase of The Power of Touch, let’s take a moment to revisit some key insights from earlier discussions.
We’ve established that God has blessed us with the five natural senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Each of these senses connects us to the world around us, and through them, God reveals Himself in powerful ways.
Of these five, touch stands out in a deeply personal and transformative way.
The Transformative Nature of God’s Touch
A touch from God is not simply physical—it is spiritual, emotional, and eternal. It’s often the catalyst for a personal transformation, awakening us to God’s presence and realigning our hearts and lives with His purpose.
For many of us, the moment we received a divine touch was a turning point. Like scales falling from our eyes, we became spiritually awake, sensing things we had previously ignored or misunderstood.
Scripture Reference:
“Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.” — Matthew 9:29 (KJV)
“And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” — Matthew 8:3 (KJV)
“And he touched my mouth with it, and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.’” — Isaiah 6:7 (NKJV)
These scriptures show us how God’s touch brings cleansing, healing, and awakening. Whether physical healing or spiritual renewal, it brings lasting change.
Awakening Purpose and Identity
When you are touched by God, there’s a fresh awareness of who you are and why you’re here. His touch makes your divine calling clearer and more urgent.
You may have gone through life unsure, wandering, or even just existing—but after a touch from the Lord, your identity becomes clearer. You begin to realize, “I am a child of God,” and you step into your God-ordained role with courage and clarity.
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee…” — Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)
A Shift in Priorities
A divine touch doesn’t just make you feel better—it reorders your life.
Where once your focus may have been on worldly success, comfort, or pleasure, now your priorities shift toward the eternal. You’re no longer content with surface-level faith. You hunger for more of God.
You start your day differently. You pray with intention. You bless your family before they leave home. You seek God’s guidance before making decisions. Your calendar starts reflecting Kingdom priorities.
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” — Colossians 3:2 (KJV)
Renewed Devotion and Passion
After God’s touch, your devotional life deepens. Where prayer may have been routine, now it’s intimate and passionate. Being in God’s presence becomes a necessity, not just a formality.
There is an urgency in your worship and obedience. The fire of the Holy Spirit compels you to live in continual pursuit of God’s presence.
“As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” — Psalm 42:1 (KJV)
Living with Purpose and Intention
A touch from God brings purpose. You no longer live by accident, but by divine design. There’s a newfound awareness of what God wants to accomplish in and through you.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
You begin to walk with intentionality, your steps guided by the Holy Spirit. Your life becomes a testimony of obedience, healing, and transformation.
