DTC- DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING COURSE
When it comes to stepping into the purest form of faith in God,
there are important principles we need to apply. And we can see
that through this story of the centurion.
God is a God of order, although His ways and thoughts are higher
than ours, and we don‟t always understand all that He does, this
does not give us license to operate without boundaries in our faith.
Faith is grounded and planted and established in the word of
God, so too we need to be careful to simply think that great faith
in the Lord means I need to be “super spiritual” and untouchable
or detached from reality.
Let‟s look into these principles.
The principle of submission
Luke 7:8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under
me…
We see that he knows there is a greater power at work, and that
he cannot do it on his own. We too should know that its not by
might or by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.
The principle of command
Luke 7:8 … I tell this one, ‗Go,‘ and he goes; and that one,
‗Come,‘ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‗Do this,‘ and he does
it.‖
He understands the power of the word coming from the one who
is given authority. He knew all that was needed, was the spoken
word from Jesus.
The principle of authority
The authority we have depends on which authority we are under.
Our authority who is God, made and created us! All things are
subject to Him in heaven, on earth and under the earth.
