I am fascinated by the Roman centurion who came to Jesus saying, "My servant is sick." The immediate response of Jesus was, "I will come to your house." But the centurion says, "No, You don't need to come to my house. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." Jesus, You're exactly the same. All You have to do is speak – and my servant will be healed." Jesus did just that, and the servant was indeed healed at that very moment! Jesus is showing us the authority we have in Him: "Whatsoever you ask IN MY NAME, I will do."
