My Walk With Jesus

From http://www.ipas.org

"When Jesus entered Capernaum, an army captain approached him to ask his help, 'Sir, my servant lies sick at home. He is paralyzed and suffers terribly.' Jesus said to him, 'I will come and heal him.'

"The captain answered, 'I am not worthy to have you under my roof. Just give an order and my boy will be healed. For I myself, a junior officer, give orders to my soldiers. And if I say to one: "Go," he goes, and if I say to another: "Come," he comes, and to my servant: "Do this," he does it.'

"When Jesus heard this he was astonished and said to those who were following him, 'I tell you, I have not found such faith in Israel. I say to you, many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at the feast in the kingdom of heaven; but the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown out into the darkness; there they will wail and grind their teeth.'

"Then Jesus said to the captain, 'Go home now. As you believed, so let it be.' And at that moment his servant was healed.

"Jesus went to Peter's house and found Peter's mother-in-law in bed with fever. He took her by the hand and the fever left her; she got up and began to wait on him.

"Towards evening they brought to Jesus many possessed by evil spirits, and with a word he drove out the spirit. He also healed all who were sick. In doing this he fulfilled what was said by the prophet Isaiah: He bore our infirmities and took on himself our diseases.

"When he saw the crowd press around him, Jesus gave orders to cross to the other shore."

MATTHEW 8:5-18

"Lord, You know the 'fevers' of my life.
Heal me and make me serve You in return."
