Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Matthew 8:10,13 (TPT)
Jesus was astonished when he heard this and said to those who were following Him, “He has greater faith than anyone I’ve encountered in Israel! Then Jesus turned to the Roman officer and said, “Go home. All that you have believed for will be done for you!” And his son was healed at that very moment.
The centurion officer used his faith and stood upon the words of Jesus – he knew that all he needed was Jesus’ Word… that is how you use faith – you get the Word on something, then you receive the Word by faith! So many believers know what the bible says concerning their situation, but they never use their faith – they never receive Jesus’ Word for themselves, and here’s the thing, if you do not use your faith, breakthrough may never come!
The bible says that the just live by faith – this means that as the righteousness of God in Christ, you need to come boldly to the Lord and stand upon His Word, believing to receive! By the way, as in the case of the Roman centurion, Jesus loves it when you use your faith!
