Making Our Approach For A Miracle
Part 2
    
    When Christ walked this earth, He functioned under a mandate: “..He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to preach the acceptable year of the LORD.”
(Luke 4:18,19) 
    Jesus came to bring people release from their pain and suffering and to change their lives through the power of the Holy Ghost. Every time He performed a miracle, He was letting people know that God was truly All Powerful and He cared for every individual personally. He cared enough to do something about their pain.

2) The centurion approached Jesus with confident faith. (Matt. 8:8)

    What is so amazing about Mr. Centurion's approach is his pagan-ness. He was a man who had interest in the things of God and did good things for the temple, but He was not an Israelite. He looked at Jesus with different eyes than those of his Jewish brothers.
    They may have seen a great prophet; some may actually have been wondering if this was the promised Messiah. But the centurion recognized one thing--  His authority. As he heard about the things Jesus began to do, I'm sure he recognized that no one could do these things unless God was working with Him.
    He didn't care how difficult the challenge was. He knew how to identify the greater power—and that is where his confidence was based. The lesser one must bow to the Greater One.
    Jesus was so astonished by this man's approach. He commented that in all of Israel He had not seen such great faith.  This centurion took miracles out of the category of religious tradition and doctrine. He did not stand around debating who had a right to miracles. His servant was suffering and He went to the Greater One about it!
    This week, why don't you ask God to reveal Himself to you as the Greater One. Ask Him to make it clear Who is Boss. As you magnify the Lord and come to understand He sits on the Throne of the Universe, He is the Great Decision Maker, He has the final word, it doesn't matter what the doctor, lawyer or creditor says. Everything pales in comparison to the one word He speaks—the word that will change your pain into a miracle of healing.
