And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: <\/span>7 <\/sup>Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. <\/span> <\/sup>For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.<\/span>9 <\/sup>When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith<\/strong>, no, not in Israel.<\/span>10 <\/sup>And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole<\/strong> that had been sick.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Luke 7:6-10<\/strong><\/p>\n Did you notice in the passage of scripture in Luke 7 that Jesus really didn’t “do”<\/em> anything to heal the centurion’s servant? He didn’t go anoint the servant with oil. He didn’t call for the elders of the church. He didn’t lay hands of the servant. He didn’t even pray. Now those are all actions that the Word of God directs to do when dealing with the sick. But this particular passage shows us the strength of one person’s faith<\/em>. The centurion understood authority, he was the commander of 100 men. Even being Roman, many of whom worshiped false gods, this man believed that Jesus had the power to heal. Even from a distance! He sent people to tell Jesus NOT to come to his house! He said just say the word and my servant will be healed. What did Jesus do? He spoke of the man’s faith with admiration to the crowd around Him. God moved in response to faith and the servant was healed.<\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n I will not make God wait on me! I will build my faith through the study of God’s Word. I will step out in faith at His direction. As I do, God will respond to my faith and confirm His Word with signs following.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cThe action of heaven is waiting on faith on the earth.\u201d 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
