In 2018-19, I was listening to my friend speaking in Austria, and he told the story of Jesus and the centurion.

As my friend spoke, so The LORD seemed to speak to me.

All my friend said was, “Speak the word!” Just speak The Word — and it shall be done for you! That’s Authority!

“The centurion answered and said, “LORD, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.” Matthew 8:8

“Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” Luke 10:17

— and the seventy didn’t even have Holy Spirit as we do!

All they had to do was to speak The Word — in His Name!

I hear The LORD speaking to His People today:

• Speak the Healing Word and watch God heal.
• Speak the Breaker Word and watch bondages, strongmen, addictions, broken in the Name of Jesus.
• Speak that which is not as if it were — and watch it become!
• Speak the Prophetic Word, the Word of Faith, Wisdom, or Knowledge, and watch The LORD at work in that situation.
• Speak the Declaration Word — “Declare a thing and it shall be done for you” – Job 22:28
• Speak the Decreeing Word as God gives you The Word, speak it out — decree it as from the King of Kings.

It’s all we have to do — just speak The Word!

Jesus did, and the centurions servant was healed.

Jesus gave us that same Authority. Wow — that’s so powerful.

Just speak the word!
