The Power Edge

  For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go!' and he goes; and to another, 'Come!' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it.' When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, 'I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.' Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well. Luke 7:9 WEB
  
  We once bought a huge server on eBay and had to pay over a hundred dollars in shipping charges. It was a Dell Power Edge R900 and it weighed 92 pounds. When I unpacked it and started it up, it immediately died with a processor failure. I tried everything that a technician would do during the day like reseating the processors and memory banks, but it continued to die with the same failure each time.
  
  I called their tech support and they walked me through a few things over the phone, then decided that we would need to ship it back to them. When I got off the phone, I sat down and stared it frustrated, and dreading shipping it back. Something in me said 'pray' so I laid hands on the computer and prayed over it a moment. I pressed the start button again and it worked perfectly. It is still in use today. Christians have their own power edge, praying in the name of Jesus.
  
  While Jesus was on the way to the Centurion's house, they brought Him word that He did not have to come, but merely speak the word because the Centurion recognized the chain of command. He believed that if Jesus gave the command, that his servant would be healed just as if he told a soldier to do something and they did it.
  
  Faith is the complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Jesus was amazed at the Centurion's great faith. While in His own hometown, Jesus was amazed at their lack of faith (Mark 6:6). These are the only records of Jesus being amazed at something in scripture. Faith is the currency of heaven. When you pray, believe. True faith builds over time just like trust in a relationship. I find that our faith is built just as much in the work place as it is in church, for our God is 'Super Natural'.
  
  Prayer: Heavenly Father please speak to me in a way that I understand and show Yourself mighty in my life. Let me be a beacon of hope to those around me and to walk in Your power and anointing, right here, and right now, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
