Mark 8:6,13 NIV
“Lord,” he (the centurion) my servant lies at home paralyzed
and in terrible suffering.” …Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! It will be
done just as you believed it would.”
The centurion had such rock-solid faith in Jesus authority
and ability to heal. He wasn’t even an
Israelite. He didn’t even need to see
Jesus touch his servant or take him by the hand. He was sure that Jesus could heal him at a
distance which he did.
Our prayers are also effective at a distance. It’s always comforting that the prayers of
friends and family who live at a distance are blessing us and that we can bless
our far away loved ones as well. James in his epistle reminds us that the
prayers of a righteous man (or woman) are very influential. I need to remember that prayer in Jesus name is
a powerful force.
