Radical Faith Series Part 3 - “Great Faith”
Luke 7: 1 – 10 NIV
Pastor Bruce C. Davis
Luke 7: 1 – 10 NIV
1When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8For 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.” 9When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
There are Two Kingdom systems in which you can enter. This is where Greater Faith is accessible.
Understanding the Kingdom Authority - (Knowledge is not the equivalent to Understanding)
Having information without proper placement of the knowledge can do more harm than Good!
The need for spiritual teaching is desperately misunderstood.
The thoughts of God (Theology) were always given to men and women that God would place His hands on to bring revelation! We all need to be taught; to be a learner requires humility and submission.
The Centurion had a revelation from the Holy Spirit concerning the operations of the King and His Kingdom. He loved God and he expressed his love for God by paying for the synagogue to be constructed!
Accessing Great Faith is not a miracle, it is a system.
Characteristics of Great Faith
Proximity is not an issue - No distance can stop Great Faith from receiving what it believes.
The Centurion was not near Jesus but fully expected Jesus to make his servant well.
Humility - (I am not worthy to come to you.) We care too much about building a reputation for ourselves. Dead men do not have feelings. Take up your cross; you must lose your life so that you can save it. Dying to self will enable you to walk in humility.
Understand how to be under authority in a Kingdom - You will not be able to step into Great faith unless you see Jesus as a King with a Kingdom!
When you cannot handle someone telling you what to do, it will be difficult for you to access great faith.
You don’t need a touch, “Say the Word ONLY” - You just need Jesus to speak the Word.
In the Kingdom, everything is owned by the King; positions, wealth, relationships, etc. Self-hoarding is not allowed in this Kingdom, the other kingdoms may allow it though
Jesus’ words are under the authority of the kingdom of God. Jesus said as the Father has sent me, so I send you. We are under delegated authority!
The kingdom of Darkness doesn’t move without a higher authority!
Matthew 15: 21 – 28 NIV
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crum
