« The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed »
8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
9 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed. Turning to those who were following Him, He said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!
11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.
12 But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.
Whenever God wants to do something special, His word takes up the form of a traveler and goes to the place where healing is needed. Psalm 107:20NKJV says
« He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions »
At one point or the other, you will need the intervention of God over a matter;
in that period, God can send His word on an errand to help you.
My prayer is that God will never withhold His word from coming to you.
When His word comes to you, it means a solution has come to your problems.
One of the special things that the word travels to do is to bring healing.
God created all the parts of your body.
If you discover that any part of your body is not functioning as it should,
cry to Him and He will send His word to heal it or install a spare part if the damage is beyond repair.
That is what happened in our Bible reading for today when the Centurion’s servant was ill and he told Jesus to only speak the word and his servant would be healed. Luke 5:17 GWT
« One day when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and experts in Moses’ Teachings were present. They had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. Jesus had the power of the Lord to heal »
In the Bible passage above, as Jesus was sharing the word, the power of God was present to heal the sick.
I used to lay hands on all the sick people at our programs, but then, Luke 5:17 showed me that the healing can be going on simultaneously with the sermon. Now, even as I preach, God heals the sick.
This is why I pity those who get carried away during the sermon; you are missing out on a lot more than you know.
Put all your faith in the Word of God today, and you will receive divine healing in Jesus’ name.
Application – Healing power is embedded in the word of God.
