The Woman Without a Name: How Jesus Restores Identity | God of Miracles
Have you ever allowed a problem to become your identity? In this powerful message, we dive into the often-overlooked story of the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5. While everyone around her defined her by her suffering, Jesus saw beyond her condition to her true identity.
The contrast is striking – Jairus enters the story with both his name and title intact, while this woman is known only by her affliction. For twelve years, she wasn't just bleeding physically; she was hemorrhaging her sense of self, her place in community, her very identity. How many of us have done the same? We transform our wounds into personas, our traumas into labels, until we forget who we truly are beneath the pain.
Through this woman's encounter with Jesus, we discover a four-part framework for experiencing breakthrough and reclaiming our God-given identity. She heard about Jesus, controlling her intake and filling her mind with hope. She moved despite her limitations, pushing through the crowd when everything said she shouldn't. She thought with faith, choosing to believe "if I can just touch his robe, I will be healed" among the thousands of other possible negative thoughts. And finally, she told her story, vulnerably sharing her whole truth when Jesus called her out.
But the most beautiful moment came when Jesus named her "daughter" – the only time in scripture he addressed anyone this way. In that moment, he didn't just heal her body; he restored her identity. He transformed her from an unnamed woman defined by her issue to a daughter with a place in God's family.
Whether you're struggling with physical healing, emotional wounds, or a lost sense of self, this message will challenge you to stop letting your issues name you. You are more than your problems. You are a child of the Most High God.

I am excited to be here with you this morning. I don't know if you can hear me. Nope, oh, you can. Okay, hello, I can be loud, but I don't know if I can be that loud. Fix me, baby, fix me, fix me. Oh, it was a button. They tell you not to push the buttons. They literally tell me do not push any buttons. We got you, they did not have me. You were all my witnesses. Push the buttons. From now on, all buttons will be pushed. I'm excited to be with you this morning.
Speaker 1:I'm even more excited to kick off a series that I personally am standing on. I need a miracle in my family. Maybe your family is perfect, but I need a miracle. Come on, somebody who needs a miracle. Yes, you know, pastor. He gave us a word for this year. Does anybody remember what the word is? Thanks a lot, pastor, sean. We are stretching, stretching our faith, stretching our trust and in expectation for miracles.
Speaker 1:We have a theme verse for this entire series which will carry us directly into Easter, and somebody said I'm gonna have to stretch my faith for an 8 am service. Come on somebody. But Pastor told the leaders yesterday that, if you will remember, in the old times, when we were at the movie theater. It's exactly the same amount of time that you were there. So calm down, you're fine, tell your neighbor you're fine. You don't have to come to all three anyways. You're fine, I have to come to all three. Thank you. Pray for your girl who has to come to all three. John 20, 30 through 31,.
Speaker 1:Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples which are not recorded in this book. I would like to know those miracles. Could I please get a list of those miracles? But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. Every miracle that we're going to touch on between now and Easter is chosen specifically to build your faith, build your trust and boost your expectations for miracles in your own life.
Speaker 1:But before I got started, I thought we would have a test, a quiz you might say, and see if you know what a real miracle is or a hoax. So I've pulled some headlines and you're going to say hoax if it's not a real miracle, or holy if it's a real miracle. Are you ready? You look nervous. It's not a real test. You cannot fail this test. You're okay, everybody. This is a trick. Just do whatever Gentry does. Whatever Gentry does is right. Gentry's not here. Where's Gentry? Okay? All right, jake, show us the first one. All right, man survives 18 story. Fall, lands like a human pancake and walks away. Holy or hoax? It is a hoax, but it really did happen. In 2007, a window washer fell out of a building, landed like a pancake and walked away. I feel like that is a miracle, somehow.
Speaker 1:Next, one Preacher calls for bear attack 42 people mauled. Holy, hoax. Wait what You're split? Holy. Yes, this is a Bible story. We don't talk about a lot. In Exodus, my boy, elisha, called two bears down on some teenagers. Have you ever wanted to call some bears down on some teenagers? Some bears down on some teenagers? Yes, I was a youth pastor for many, many years and I thought about this story. It was core. They called him bald and he said get him. Number two, no, number three. Blood river appears over now Town in a panic. I can read Holy. Well, this is kind of tricky Because it is holy, but also happened in Russia in 2018 due to pollution. Do you think some Christians were panicking? The end times are near. Jesus, the sky is about to split.
Speaker 1:Next, one Woman gives birth to ten babies at once. Doctors stunned Holy, hoax, a hoax, well, kind of. They say that this happened in South Africa. She said she had all 10 babies at the same time, but later it was disputed. I feel like you could figure this out pretty easily. Is it? Did she, did she not? Someone knows if 10 babies came all at once? Somebody knows?
Speaker 1:Next, one Entire town attacked by swarm of 20,000 angry bees during festival. Holy or hoax, hoax? Well, it really did happen in Brazil, but it wasn't in the Bible. What? I would? Just go home. There's no festival for me that needs 20,000 bills. Last one man spends three days inside giant fish lives to tell the tale. It is holy. But that also did happen in real life too recently. It was a headline.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm going to give you one more. One more, because you're having so much fun. I can see it Ready Town, terrified as sky, rains, frogs, holy. But actually similar events have happened right here in the US due to water spouts. I had to look that up. That is true Water spouts, pick them up and put them down. I would never be able to live here again, anywhere that rains frogs, I am no longer called to. Just know that. Just know that my title for today's message is I'm not what I thought I was, and we're going to hang out in Mark 5. And it's actually one of my favorite miracles, and if you're a lady in the house that has ever gone to a conference, you've heard this story before miracles. And if you're a lady in the house that has ever gone to a conference, you've heard this story before. Because this is, this is like what they talk about, and I thought, really, lord, this one. And I I'm telling you, I had a confirmation in my spirit on Tuesday when I went for a walk that was supposed to start for a 15 minute walk and three miles later I had downloaded the entire sermon. So I don't know what tried to stop you from being here today, but you're here for a reason. The Lord has something for you. Today we're going to hang out in Mark 5, and there's actually Mark 5 is about one particular miracle, but the one I want to talk about is almost like an interruption, like a commercial break to the actual miracle. So Mark 5.22 says then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus. He fell at his feet pleading fervently with him. My little daughter is dying. Please come and lay your hands. Can you hear him? Can you hear the urgency? Please come and lay your hands on her and heal her so that she may live. You know this guy. He got his title. He must have been somebody special because he not only got his name, he also got his title. But in that moment he was just a daddy. He was just a daddy who needed a healer. Please come, please come. It didn't matter what his title was. It didn't matter if he was a CEO, a CFO, the president of the HOA or the PTO. He was just a dad who needed a savior. Sometimes desperation will make you forget who you are because you need the Lord right then. But, like I said, he's not the one I want to talk about. Jesus went with him and the crowd followed. And I don't know if you've seen recently the pictures of the Houston Rodeo, how the crowd looks. I can almost smell that picture. You know when it's like 20,000 bodies trying to get out of one door. That's how I picture this crowd Wall-to-wall people, a crush of people around Jesus, all wanting his attention. But Mark 5.25 tells us. A woman in the crowd had suffered for 12 years with constant bleeding. The KJV version calls her the woman with the issue of blood. It doesn't even give her a name. Jairus got his title and his name. She just got her issue. She just got named by her problem and if we look really deeply into it 12 years of bleeding we know by Jewish custom that was 12 years of excommunication. It was 12 years of not being able to go to service, not being able to go to church. It was 12 years of not even being able to be with her family. She was alone for 12 years. What's also interesting is that you couldn't look at her and know that she was bleeding. It was an internal hemorrhage, and I wonder how many of us are sitting here with things on the inside that are so, so wrong. We portray that we have it all together. Our Instagram is slick, our Facebook is perfect. Marriage is perfect, kids are perfect, job is perfect. Life is perfect. Marriage is perfect, kids are perfect, Job is perfect, life is perfect. But when you really lay down at night and look at yourself, you are internally bleeding. I saw a post on Facebook the other day that says I hope that God fixes the things you don't talk about. She didn't talk about what was going on. It was private, and I pray that today, that we can uncover some of those situations, because God can heal the things that you come forward about. That when you start digging around and start moving around and start saying, okay, lord, this is the secret thing, fix it, he will, he will, every single time. Fix it, he will, he will every single time. And I also think that that internal bleeding, that internal situation that you're dealing with, just like our sister, you try to treat the symptoms. The scripture says she had suffered a great deal from many doctors Not from her illness, from the doctors and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them and she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse. Luke alludes that the doctors had made it worse. Mark alludes that they had taken advantage of her. A little tea there for you. If you read all of them, it's okay, I see you, mark. I wonder if you're treating the symptoms of your illness, because you're not talking about it. You're scrolling A glass of wine to help you sleep turns into a bottle of wine. The flirting the innocent flirting in direct messages. That takes the edge off the novels that give you another reality. What are you treating? That's just touching the symptoms but it's actually making it worse Sometimes our issues is you. The woman had a name. Her mother held her and named her. Her father held her up in the air and named her. Names are important, but this woman's name got washed away because her trouble was so great. I wonder if we are named by our trouble. I wonder if we walk around named by our trauma, named by the things that were done for us, done to us, done by us. Because names matter, my own name is important, I think so. My dad held me up in an African hospital and said she's an angel of joy. The little African nurse wrote Angela Joy, I was supposed to be Britney. You're laughing, I'm not kidding. I was supposed to be a Britney Spears. Hello, angela Joy. Written on an African birth certificate cannot be changed. What's even more interesting is that no one in my life ever called me Angie until I got to relate and the Whitlows named me Angie. And now some of you call me Pastor Angie and I think is that is that me? Because never in my life. And if you call me Angela, my government name. I think I'm in trouble. You send me a text with my full name. Something is very wrong. Lonnie Duncan full name. Something is very wrong, lonnie Duncan, that is terror. My friends call me Ang A-N-G, which sounds like Angie. Oh, hold on, I just had an epiphany. Stay with me. Stay with me. Names matter. I know how close we are by what you call me, but this woman had lost her entire identity because of her life situation, and I wonder if there's someone in this room that has lost her whole purpose, calling and personality because what was done to you or the choices that you made. How do you identify yourself? Well, I'm just grumpy, always have been. I don't like people. People don't like me. What, oh, my family? We all get divorced. What Well? We all drink. It's just what we do. We're drinkers. What Well? We curse, I curse, I curse like a sailor. People brag about that. Okay, well, have you made your issues, your personality? Have you renamed yourself? The thing is is God wants more for you than your past. He wants more for you than your issues. He wants more for you even than your present, because he wants your future. He has something for you and you've got lost so deep in your issues that you cannot move forward. But our sister, she showed us, she gave us the mechanics of a miracle in four steps. She gave us the mechanics of a miracle in four steps. Number one Mark 5.27, says she had heard about Jesus. She heard what are you listening to? Is it negative? Is it positive? What is speaking into your life? What do you allow to speak into your life? Tiktok, cnn, fox Tweets hey, that's me too. You listen to other people complain about their spouses and you think, yeah, mine's like that as well. It's not true. You must control your intake because it is shaping the view of your world. Intake, because it is shaping the view of your world. There's an old story and I'm probably about to butcher it, but it's an American Indian tale of a grandfather speaking to a grandson and he talks about how every man has two wolves inside of them, one that is evil and one that is good. And the young man said grandfather, who wins? Very simply, it's the one that you feed. What are you feeding? What is your intake? I remember sitting across from a sweet sister at coffee and she was telling me how she was battling fear. Never in her life has she been so afraid all the time and we kind of delved into. You know, was it COVID? Was it? What was the change? Was something new? You were doing? You're taking something, taking a new supplement. You take it, you know you drink enough water, you sleep in it, all the things right, supernatural warfare. Okay, let's pray, let's pray. The conversation moved on and a few later she said I got it. I know what I've been doing different. I said well, spill the beans, sis, let's go. She said oh, I've been doing this great thing. I've been listening to crime podcasts while I sleep. I said crime podcasts Like murder, crime podcasts like murder serial killers. Yes, that's why you're afraid. So they just play while you sleep. Yeah, negative ghostwriter. That is not what we were doing. You now have homework. Let's try to sleep without the criminal minds playing in the background. Can we turn on some worship music? How about a preaching podcast, something? Romans 10 17 says faith comes by hearing. So this week, your homework is to watch your intake. How much negative versus positive comes into your mind? Does it push you towards Jesus or push you away from Jesus? Because I can promise you that our sister, with the issue of blood laid on her bed and thought do I try again One more time? Amen. So she heard number two, she moved. Mark 527 says she came up behind him. I kind of appreciate. I appreciate the sneak through the crowd and touched his robe. Kjv talks about the hem of his garment, the dirty part. If my female brain looks at my female sister, she was unclean, so she touched the unclean, it was less trouble. How many of you are making yourself small because you don't want to be too big? You don't want to be a bother? You see, faith moves. She didn't wait until it was the right time. She pressed through, even though she was not allowed in that crowd. She was not supposed to be there. If she would have let the opinions of man stop her, we would not even be having this conversation. She would have laid in that bed and probably died. But despite the risk, she pushed through and I have been ordained to come to you this morning and tell you it is time to move. You have been sitting and waiting for the right time, for the right season, for your schedule to clear. It is time to move. Write the book, record the podcast, call the person, make the move, ask for a bigger salary. What are you waiting on? Let's go, because sometimes waiting is just being stuck. I will never forget when we toured this building the first time, with the roof full of holes and the raccoons still living inside the attic tearing up the AC vents. We could hear them and we just were so unsure. We had looked at so many buildings trying to make the right decision for you. We got the call from the realtor. There's another offer on the table. They just want the land. They're going to demolish the building. You've got to make a decision. I'm sorry, what Excuse my finest pardon. We have to think and pray, and fast, and get the schedule right. Call the board, have a vote, all the things I need three to six weeks before I can make a decision. You don't have three to six weeks before I can make a decision. You don't have three to six weeks. You got to make a decision. So we walk out on faith, not even knowing if we could have enough parking for you to park this morning, not even knowing if we could fit 200 seats in this room. In fact, do you remember when we just called it a community center? That's because we couldn't figure it out. We didn't know. Sorry, mom and dad had no idea what they were doing in that span of time. Community center. That's because we couldn't figure it out. We didn't know. Sorry, mom and dad had no idea what they were doing in that span of time, but we knew that God did and we stepped out in faith and we made the offer and you stand in a free and clear building because God provided it for you. Oh, pastor, sean and Angela have so much faith. No, we just moved. Just walk, Get out of your bed and walk. I got to go. I got to move. I have to move. Take a step this week. You know what to do, you know. You know the step you're supposed to take. I don't know it, but you do. I'm going to open these altars at the end of this service and you need to take a step out of your chair into the altar and give your heart to the Lord. You need to give that situation to the Lord. You need to bring your afflicted body and bring it to the altar and get healed. Today you need to move. Number three she thought Mark 5, 28 through 29 says, for she thought to herself if I can just touch his robe, I will be healed. And immediately the bleeding stopped. Those two things are connected. Thinking immediately. It wasn't five to seven business days later, it was immediately. What are you thinking? My dad would say stinking thinking. The research tells me that the average person has 60,000 thoughts a day. I feel like that's a man. I feel like women have 120,000 thoughts. I have had a million thoughts standing up on this stage in the last 15 minutes. What's even more interesting is, out of those 60,000 thoughts, 75% of them are negative. That's your flesh, baby. That's why the scripture tells you to die to your flesh. That's why it says get your thoughts under control, because you are at your core. Negative. 95% of them are repetitive. That means you're just spinning. You're just spinning, but I have news for you. Just because you think, it doesn't make it true. Every thought that rolls through your brain is not the gospel. It's not like Google or AI. None of it's true. It's just you and you don't know everything. I love you, but it's true. You might know everything not us, but it's true. You might know everything, not us. We are allowing the world to tell us how to think and I'm telling you it's time to audit every single thought that comes through your brain. You've got to slow down and think about it, because that is hard when your intake is full of negative influences. It is so easy to think the worst of another person when you haven't spent any time with them. It is so easy to think the worst of your spouse when you haven't spent any time with them, because you're 75% negative. Take your thoughts. Corinthians tells us to take it under control. Every thought captive is what the scripture says. And then when you think those thoughts, sometimes a thought becomes a core belief. Sometimes a thought like I think she's mad at me because she didn't say hello to me and then, from then on, she's mad at you. And then two years later, we don't like each other. We're having beef. That's weird. That's weird. Do the kids say beef anymore? I don't think they do. It's fine, we're all 40 here. How about this? I went through the majority of my life referring to myself in a joking manner as a hothead. Kenny's heard me say it. I've told Kenny before I'm a hothead. I'm a hothead Like it's a good thing. I told Jose Rios that one time and he said you know Pastor Angie, because he hangs out with the Whitlows. I don't see it. I said you don't see what? I don't see you being a hothead. And I thought, well, I don't see it either. Do I act like a hothead? Do I get mad easy? And I started pulling that thread because sometimes you have to find a core belief and think hold on, that's not right. And I pulled it and pulled it and remembered that at eight years old I was sitting in the truck with my dad and somebody pulled him out in front of him and he threw his hands up. Sound familiar Young ladies, you do indeed marry your father. So sorry, you can try not to. It happens anyways. Me being eight years old and loving my dad and wanting approval, I throw my hands up. Come on, I don't even know how to drive, I can't even see over the dashboard, I don't know what's happening. He puts his hand on my leg and he goes hothead, just like your daddy. I took that as the God's honest truth and I buried it deep in my heart and I thought I'm a hothead just like my daddy. It took me till I was 44 years old, in a prayer moment going through my freedom book come on freedom. To pull that thread and think I'm not a hothead. That was something I made my personality. How many issues have you made your personality? How many other person's opinions of you have you made your personality? Other people's hopes and dreams have you made your personality? She heard, she moved. She thought it's time for you to get that stinking thinking under control this week. I want you to choose faith, because that's what she did. She had a million thoughts go through her head. It'll never work. I've tried a million times. I'll never even get to see him. How can I find him? She didn't have Google. She couldn't map Quest. It's a big city. I don't have any money. He just wants my money. Think about all the thoughts that went through her brain in that moment. But she let faith win. Out of 75% of negatives, she pulled that faith thought and said, okay, let's go. And because of it she was healed. How many of you are thinking yourself sick? Today's the day of deliverance. You don't have to do that anymore. You can let faith win. Last one she told Verse 30. Hold on, hold on. I can't let it go. I can't let it go. Jesus said who touched me? They could have gone on. He knew she was healed. He knew he felt the power. Jake put it on the screen. She could feel in her body that she had been healed. Jesus realized at once that the healing power had gone out from him and he turned. Why did he not just let her go? He called her back, he found her and I can hear Peter say we have to go. There's a little girl dying. I can hear Jairus the urgency in his voice. Come on, she is dying. Can you hear it? He said somebody touched me. He stopped for one woman, number four, she told. Verse 33 says. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet Trembling with fear. She told him the whole truth. Now I'm a lady. I got ladies in the room. I know that the whole truth didn't start when she got on the road that morning. It started 12 years ago, jesus. I got sick. I couldn't get well and I paid every cent to these doctors and they made it worse. And I just got up this morning and I thought. I thought maybe you could heal me. And then you did. I'm healed. Why wouldn't he just let her go? Because of this next verse? And he said to her daughter your faith has made you well. Go in peace, your suffering is over. Hold on. It's the only time he ever called anyone daughter. In that moment he took a woman who didn't have a name, who was known by her issues, who was known by her problems, her sins, her situation, and he named her daughter, son, child of the most high. Some of you have forgotten who you are. You have forgotten. You've let the world name you. You are daughter, you are son, you are child of the most high. And I am here to remind you who you are. You are no longer known by your issues, by your history, by your back story, by your life situation. You are daughter, you are son situation. You are daughter, you are son. He didn't call her woman, he called her daughter. He was on his way to another daughter and found one on the way, just picked him up. He could have let her go because she was healed, but he wanted in that moment to heal her identity. And there's someone in this room that needs their identity healed. I don't want you to crawl out of here like a beggar, like you crawled in because that's what she did. She crawled into that crowd like a beggar to steal healing. He said daughter, stand up, take your place in my family. And I say to you stand up, take your place in God's family. You are not your issues. You are a child of the King. I think a lot of us have been identified by our issues. I think that the world likes to make you small when you've done something. I think you like to be labeled single mom, you're labeled a divorcee, you're labeled a drunkard, you're all these things. But I'm telling you, when God looks at you, he doesn't see your issues. He sees who you are. I'm about to open these altars and the worship team is going to play and I want you to come and leave your issues at this altar and I will tell you right now. Gentry has been at this property praying since about 8 am for you. Right now. Do not let your opportunity go. Yes, children, that was Eminem. This is your opportunity. Prayer partners, join me. This is your opportunity. Prayer partners, join me. This is what I want you to do. I want you to come and take your place. It's time for a new identity. It's time for a new opportunity. It's time for a new life situation. Maybe you have been praying and hoping for a miracle. Right now, the Lord is in the room. He is here and he has stopped to look for his daughter. Lord Jesus, we invite you, we thank you for the miracles that are about to happen. We thank you that we not only have heard, but we will move. We have not only moved, but we are thinking that you are the answer to every situation in this room. And, lord Jesus, we will tell of the goodness of God, let's sing.
Speaker 2:And I know that I need you. I run to the Father, fall into grace to the father. Fall into grace. Done with the hiding. The reason to wait? My heart needs a surgeon, my soul needs a break. So I run to the father again and again and again and again. Oh, oh, oh, oh oh. You saw my condition at a painful start. Your son for redemption. I don't have a contest For that kind of love. I don't understand, I can't comprehend. I can't comprehend. All I know is I need you. I run to the point, fall into grace. I'm done with the hiding. No reason to wait.

Speaker 2:Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, longing for my first breath Running into your arms. It's running to life from death, and I feel this rush deep in my chest. Your mercy is falling out, just as I am. You pull me in and I know I need you now. My heart has been in your sights Long before my first breath. Running into your arms, is running to life, from death, and I feel this rush deep in my chest. Deep in my chest. Your mercy is falling out, just as I am. You pull me in and I know I need you now. I run to the Father, fall into grace. I'm done with the high. No reason to wait, the father. I run to the Father, fall into grace. I'm done with the hiding, the reason to wait. With my heart down to serve you, my soul down to pray, I run to the Father again and again and again and again. Oh, oh, oh, oh, again and again, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I run to the Father, fall into grace. I'm done with the high. No reason to wait.
Speaker 2:My heart needs a surgeon. My soul found a break, so I'll run to the Father again and again. I'll run to the Father, fall into grace. I'm done with the hiding, the leisure to wait.

I'm done with the hiding, the reason to wait? My heart found the surgeon, my soul found the bread. So I'll run to the Father again and again, and again and again.
Speaker 1:I don't want to let you leave without giving you an opportunity to meet the Lord. Maybe you've sat through this whole thing and thought I'm so far, I'm so far from him. I can't hear his voice anymore, I can't feel his presence anymore. Maybe you sit here and you've never said yes to the Lord, you've never even taken a step towards him. This is your chance. You are so, so welcome in the family of God. Look around, these are your brothers, these are your sisters.
Speaker 1:I think we should all say one more time and reaffirm our belief and our repentance. Hope you'll repeat after me dear Jesus, we accept the grace that you gave on that cruel cross. We believe that you were resurrected in three days and took our sin on yourself. We repent for the sins that we have done and we will strive to do better. We accept your grace and we thank you, father, for being our dad, calling us sons and daughters, accepting us into your family. In Jesus' name, amen, give a shout of praise. Thank you, prayer partners. We are going to worship for a few minutes longer. If you have to go, I know that's okay, but we are going to worship for a few minutes. Thank you, prayer partners.
