As You Believe.

"And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way: as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.  And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour."  Matthew 8:13.  A powerful man came to Jesus.  He wanted Jesus to do something for him that he was unable to do.  He believed that Jesus could heal his servant.  Here was a powerful man that cared about his servant and was not too proud to ask for help.  The centurion did not just ask anyone.  He asked Christ.  He believed that Christ could do what he asked of Him.  "As thou hast believed."  That is key to triumph in the kingdom of God.  That is the answer to our number growth problem within the church. Our belief helps us to stand.  Our belief helps us to fight.  Our belief helps us to surrender and serve.  Our belief brings God's resources to us.  Our belief becomes the channel for His power.  Nothing is done without God.  What God does for us and with us is fueled by faith.  The servant was healed not only because Christ was able to heal him, but because the centurion asked for Jesus to heal him.  Let us ask Jesus for help, and let us ask in faith.  And, watch what happens.
