Dear Friend,
The Lord acts on behalf of people who believe Him and speak the Word of God by faith. God always acts on His Word.
Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
Jeremiah 1:12 (AMPC)
God directed me to a special story in the Bible when he first started this ministry.
The story begins when a Roman centurion approached Jesus and asked him to heal his servant who was “grievously tormented.” Let’s see what happened next:
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Matthew 8:5-8 (KJV)
The centurion officer commanded at least 100 other soldiers. He was used to soldiers immediately obeying his orders. Even today in the military, if an officer says, “Jump!” you don’t ask deliberate. You do what you’re told.
When we understand the authority of God’s Word, our faith will soar. We can be like the centurion officer who knew in his heart that if Jesus would just speak the Word, healing would happen. His request would be answered.
May your faith soar this week as you speak the Word!
