Centurion Faith in Every Season

"I am not even worthy to come and meet you, but just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE, and my servant will be healed." (Luke 7:7)

Jesus entered into the town of Capernaum where a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die. When the centurion heard about Jesus and that he was in Capernaum, he sent some Jewish elders to ask if Jesus could come and heal his servant. The elders came before Jesus petitioning him to help the centurion because this centurion was a great man who loved the Jewish nation and had built a synagogue for them.

So Jesus went with the elders, but just before they arrived at the house, the centurion sent some friends to Jesus to say, "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. That is why I did not come to you personally, but just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE, and I know my servant will be healed because I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it." (Luke 7:8) When Jesus heard this from the centurion's friends, he was amazed. Jesus turned and said to the crowd, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel". (Luke 7:9) "And when the centurion's friends returned to the house, they found the servant completely healed." (Luke 7:10)

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus. Reminds me of this beautiful song, Speak the Word lyrics and music by Tommy Walker and performed by Melissa Jean, Charles Billingsley & Tommy Walker, "Speak the Word, the Eternal, divine Holy Word, let it calm my soul, shape and make me whole, let it heal, renew, cleanse me through and through, my faith I know will rise, let its power rise to dispel all lies, speak the Word."

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus because you have ultimate authority in the universe, you reign over angels, authorities, and powers and you are seated at the right hand of God (Mark 16:19 / 1 Peter 3:22).

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus to restore health and heal our loved ones wounds (Jeremiah 30:17 / Psalm 147:3).

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus and meet all of our loved ones needs according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus and renew our loved ones strength (Isaiah 40:29-31).

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus to restore faith and the joy of your salvation unto our loved ones (Psalm 51:12).

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus and command your angels to guard and protect our loved ones (Psalm 91:11).

Just speak THE WORD from WHERE YOU ARE Jesus and our loved ones shall be healed, forgiven, and saved because your WORD heals all things (James 5:15).

We thank you for Centurion faith. We thank you because "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1). You are The WORD who heals, forgives, cleanse, mends, restores, makes all things brand new, and saves. Thank you, Jesus!

I pray that you have Centurion faith when you petition the Lord on behalf of others and remind Jesus that he just needs to Speak the Word from Where He is in every season! Now, back to my season business unless Jesus bids me to come and post another message!
