📖 “And Jesus said to him, I will come and restore him. But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant boy will be cured. For I also am a man subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it." -Matthew 8:7-9 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
The centurion had a revelation that most of the people did not have. He told Jesus that He did not have to come to his house. He simply asked Jesus to speak the Word only, and His servant would be healed’. He then expounded on why he said what he said. The centurion understood authority. Just like his soldiers were subject to him with his position, the sickness that was afflicting his servant was subject to Jesus and would obey Jesus the way his servants obeyed him. We must have the same revelation. Not only will sickness and disease obey Jesus, but it will also obey us. When we understand the authority that has been delegated to us, we will speak a word to sickness and disease, and it will obey us. We will have what we say when we don’t doubt it in our hearts. God sees us as kings, and the Word tells us that where the word of a king is there is power (Ecclesiastes 8:4). Let us not forget about the power that is in our words.
