STORY
Bible in a Year: The Roman Soldier
Scripture
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, no, not in Israel.

Luke 7:9
Have you ever placed your faith in someone’s ability to help from a distance?

The Roman centurion did just that when he sought Jesus to heal his ailing servant. Understanding authority, the centurion believed that Jesus' command alone could bring healing, even without His physical presence. This profound faith in Jesus' power and authority over sickness amazed Jesus and resulted in the servant's miraculous recovery.

What does the centurion’s faith teach us about recognizing Jesus' authority?

The centurion’s recognition of Jesus' divine authority led him to trust completely in Jesus' word. This faith, not dependent on physical proximity, highlights the power of believing in Jesus' capability to intervene in our lives, regardless of distance or circumstance.

How can we apply the centurion’s example of faith in our daily lives?

Jesus honored the centurion's faith, demonstrating that genuine faith in His authority can lead to miraculous outcomes. When we trust in Jesus' power and sovereignty, we open the door for Him to work mightily in our lives.

What situations in your life need a declaration of faith in Jesus’ authority?

The centurion's story reminds us that faith is not about physical evidence but about trusting in Jesus' word and His power to transform situations. We can approach Jesus with confidence, knowing that He hears our prayers and can bring healing and restoration with just a word.

How can you cultivate a faith that trusts in Jesus’ authority over every aspect of your life?

Reflecting on this story, we are encouraged to deepen our faith and trust in Jesus. By acknowledging His supreme authority and seeking His intervention, we align ourselves with His power to bring change and healing.

PRAYER
“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, no, not in Israel.”
LUKE 7:9
I stand with full belief Lord, as I look to You, to restore health to every place in my being. I choose to stand on the truth of Your Word and declare that healing is mine for the taking because of the sacrifice and blood of Jesus. In the same way the centurion soldier believed in Your spoken Word Jesus, I know that through Your Holy Bible Your Word is being spoken to me all the time, and with the same faith I know that whatever You command as done is done! Thank You Lord for bringing dead things back to life like the bones in Ezekiel. Thank You that even though my dreams seem to be dead in a coffin, You can resurrect them back to life! So in the name of Jesus I command healing to flood my life! In the name of Jesus, I command dead dreams and visions to breathe new life and to arise! Through the activation of my great faith I will do great things on Your behalf Lord! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
