THE FAITH OF A CENTURION — LUKE 7 (NLT)
“The Faith of a Centurion, a Commander of a Company of Infantry.”
6 So Jesus went with them. But just before they arrived at the house, the officer sent some friends to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honor.
7 I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. (NLT)
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having 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.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
Great Faith? — The Centurion knew how Authority works.
“Tiberius Caesar Augustus?”
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, in the name of (Tiberius Caesar Augustus) ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”

THE POWER OF HIS NAME
John 14:13 NKJV
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
John 16:23 NLT
23 At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth: you will ask the Father directly, and He will grant your request because you use my name.
John 15:16 CJB — Complete Jewish Bible
16 You did not choose Me but I chose you and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.
