The Centurion’s Faith Amazed the Lord
(Matthew 8:5-13)
Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim
God
is the Lord of creation.
Because He
created all things, nothing is impossible
for Him (Heb 11:2-3).
God calls into being things that did not exist and
heals the sick because of His love (Ex 15:26).
The requirement to accept His love is faith alone,
so you must not doubt God even a little (Mk 9:23).
If you doubt God because you have
experienced being (Jn 8:44)
deceived by the world, this is how you become
a sinner (Mt 14:31).
You can be forgiven even if you break every
human regulation (Mt 12:31),
but those who doubt God will be judged (Mt 12:32-33).
If those who doubt die, their spirits will go to the abyss.
Since God gave the word for the sake of faith (Lk 1:37),
our faith is to believe and obey the word (Gen 15:6).
If you lack the word and seek other things,
you have nothing to do with God.
Our spirits need the word (Jn 6:63).
The word alone is the life-giving spirit and life.
This is what the Lord is looking for – faith (Jn 11:25-26).
It is to completely believe the word.
◎ The Holy Spirit only enters those who believe
and He works inside them.
He works so they can become powerful by the word.
◎ Visible people or hands are not what is needed.
The spirit needs the word, that is, the truth.
Only His words can achieve everything.
◎ The word has the power to heal and the power to create.
Seek the word and obey.
Power appears when you do not doubt the word
※ The Christian Church is a religion about revelation,
namely, faith in the word.
Lacking power comes from lacking the word.
Fill your spirit with the word. Fill it to the full.
