Wow Faith.

Luke 7.9
When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”

A centurions servant was sick and people  requested Jesus to help. As Jesus was coming towards the house, the centurion requested Jesus not to come because he was not worthy to have Jesus in his house but just speak and his servant would  be healed. Jesus was amazed at his faith.

The centurion understood just like the Roman government had given him authority, God had given Jesus of Nazareth authority over Satan and his kingdom of darkness. He knew the power of the authorities is in their words. This is the reason he asked Jesus to speak because the word of the authority is equal to the presence of the authority.  Jesus said that the centurion had great faith. Jesus marveled at his faith. Let me tell you about the authority of Jesus, when Jesus ascended on high, he said all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him. Ephesians  says Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God's throne far above all principality,  all power, all might, all dominion and every name which is named not only in this age but also in the one to come. God has put all things under his feet and made him the head of the church which is his body. Can you see the  position he holds and the authority he has? When he says Yes, no one can say No.

This Jesus is the same Jesus who tells you I will never leave you nor forsake you. I am your Shepherd and I will meet all your needs according to my riches in glory. By my stripes, you are healed. I died for you and rose again on the third day for you.  You are my child and I know you by your name. I will protect you and keep you for i am always with you.
