”For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”“
Luke 7:8-9 ESV

O. How amazing could it be for Jesus to tell people about as having the faith no found in all of Israel. So this should make us all to stand up and take notice. As a Centurion notes that authority is a means for him to know that Jesus can command healing. Thus he knew in Faith that Jesus has ultimate authority to heal. That is faith indeed.
A. As we heard the message today by Steve Chua that we can pray WITH God versus praying TO God we can make a shift of atmosphere. Here is where we can see that if we tie that with a strong faith in God we can see God in miraculous ways. We can see that God honors our faith and answers our prayers.
P. Dear Jesus, thank you for how you showed us the Fathers heart of love in how you had a deep intimate relationship with God that we can have. May we also have the faith of the Centurion to know you have authority over all things. We thank you in Jesus name Amen.
