“…And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed” (Luke 7:6-7).
As seen in the opening Scripture, a Roman centurion, whose servant was at the point of death pleaded with the leaders of the Jews to ask Jesus to come heal his servant. When he heard that Jesus was on His way, he sent words to the Master saying “You don’t need to come here Lord! Just say the Word and my servant will be healed.” Responding to the centurion’s faith, the Master uttered the word of healing and the centurion’s servant was healed instantly.
On another occasion, a woman came and pleaded with Jesus to heal her daughter who was tormented by a devil (Mark 7:25). The Master said to her, “…go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter” (Mark 7:29). He spoke in past tense: “the demon is gone out of thy daughter!” This was all the woman needed to hear, and she knew her daughter had been healed. The woman and the Roman centurion exercised faith in the Word of the Master.
This should be your attitude as well; have faith in the Word of God. The Bible clearly reveals to us the potency and efficacy of God’s Word. His word is absolute reality, and all you need to experience victory and promotion in life is to live have faith in the Word; live by live by the Word! If the Word of God says you’re healed, believe it and keep declaring your health, irrespective of the symptoms you may be feeling. That’s how to exercise your faith in the Word!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the power of your Word and its ability to impact my spirit, soul and even my physical body. I’m living in strength, health and victory as I make the unqualified committal to live according to your Word, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
