A message for women from a biblical and spiritual perspective
This is the second part of a teaching series for women. In the first part, we explored why Jesus, when He encountered the sinful woman, referred to her simply as “woman” not based on her appearance, age, or physical traits, but based on her gender and divine identity as a woman. The term “woman” carried spiritual weight, highlighting that her encounter with Christ carried a message for all women.
If you missed that first teaching, feel free to message me and I’ll send it to you.
At other times in Scripture, Jesus refers to women not just as “women,” but tenderly and intimately as His “daughters.” Remarkably, some of these women may have been older than Jesus in age, yet He still called them “daughter” revealing that His perspective was spiritual, not physical.
Let us consider one key story to understand the divine message Jesus was communicating to the world through this woman:
20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.
He could have called her “woman,” “mother,” or “lady,” yet He deliberately called her “daughter.” Why?
Because of the unique and unwavering faith she demonstrated. Despite suffering for 12 years and spending all she had on physicians with no solution (Mark 5:25–26), she did not approach Jesus with skepticism or doubt. She didn’t compare Him to the charlatans of her past. Instead, she believed completely in His power without demanding signs, words, or attention.
She said not, “I hope I’ll be healed,” or “Maybe He can help.” She said: “I will be made well.” a declaration of total, confident faith.
She didn’t ask for prayers or a personal visit. She believed that simply touching the edge of His garment was enough.
That kind of faith is what moved Jesus to call her “My daughter.”
It was not a term of biological relation, but of spiritual intimacy and inheritance. By calling her “daughter,” Jesus was declaring:
“You are no longer just a suffering woman you are My own child, a rightful heir of My Father’s Kingdom.”
Let us reflect honestly: How many women today would Jesus confidently call “My daughter”?
Jesus does not call you His daughter because of your age, beauty, social standing, or how religious you look on the outside. He sees the heart, not the flesh (1 Samuel 16:7). A true daughter of God is one who approaches Jesus with unshakable faith not as a last resort, not as an experiment, but with deep conviction that He alone is the source of life, healing, and purpose.
If you come to Jesus just to “try and see” if He’ll work for you like a spiritual gamble you have misunderstood His identity. He is not like the witch doctors or manipulators of your past.
True daughters of God know who they have believed in (2 Timothy 1:12).
They are not hopping from church to church, chasing after every prophet or trend. They are not living double lives church on Sunday, the club on Friday. They are rooted in Christ, consistent in character, confident in His Word, and firm in their identity.
The benefit of being called a daughter of Jesus is far more than a title it is about inheritance.
Romans 8:17 (ESV): “And if children, then heirs ,heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ…”
Many assume that everyone will inherit the blessings of heaven. But Scripture is clear only those who truly belong to Him, those who have become sons and daughters through faith and obedience, will receive the Kingdom.
Jesus is not impressed by appearances, youth, or charm. He is searching for faithful daughters who will leave behind the world and cleave to Him completely.
2 Corinthians 6:17–18 (ESV): “Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
These are the last days. Christ is returning soon. Are you still wavering, still playing with the world? The gospel today is not a soft call it is a wake up call. Now is the time to fully surrender.
Don’t miss the final part of this teaching series, where we will explore why Jesus also referred to some women as “Mother.”
Until then, may the Lord bless you and awaken in you the full identity of a true daughter of the King.
Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus. (See Revelation 22:20)
