True Story of a Roman Centurion’s Faith (Part 2)
What are some of the lessons which can be learned from this true and historical story of Jesus and a Roman centurion’s great faith?
(NASB) Luke 7:1-5 “…He (Jesus) went to Capernaum.
2 And a centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking him to come and save the life of his slave.
4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, ‘He is worthy for You to grant this to him;
5 for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue.’”
(Some) Lessons on Intercessory Prayer:
Send intercessors quickly to Jesus for your need.
Send people to Jesus who will intercede for you and state your case before the living God of the Holy Bible.
Identify your need today.
Call upon those you trust to intercede in your behalf before Jesus.
The initial request is to ask Jesus to come where the need is to be met.
Intercessors can rely on Jesus because of their past experiences with Him and they know you.
Intercessory prayer is of great importance and an opportunity for you to go to Jesus in behalf of another.
Who have you recently prayed for in intercession, in the presence of Jesus?
