And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Jesus turned to the centurion and said, 'Go ahead home, what you believed would happen is exactly what's going down.' Right then and there, his servant was completely healed.
Your faith isn't just hope, it's the key that unlocks what God can do.
