Luke 7:1-10
Matt 8:5-10
The Centurion shows that faith understands authority.
"Just say the word and my servant will be healed."
Luke 4:36 With authority and power Jesus commands the unclean spirits and they come out.
Joel 2:11 . . . For strong is he who carries out His word.
Micah 5:7-9 Action does not wait or delay for others
Authority and submission involves obedience and respect. If we obey and respect God, then we can ask with belief.
"Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you." John 20:21
Jesus was sent with authority and we have the same authority.
Matthew 28:18-20
All authority has been given to Jesus and He has commissioned us to be His spokesman in this life. We can go in that authority as we are under His authority. Faith is built as we live in obedience to Jesus.
Lord let me submit to your authority. I want to act in courage and trust that you will back up your instructions with power.
