 <\/p>\n

A concern may be far from our eyes, but that does not mean it is beyond the reach of faith. This is what happened with a centurion, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew.<\/big><\/div>\n

 
\n <\/p>\n

Faith That Caught Jesus\u2019 Attention<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Faced with the illness of his servant, he turned to the Lord Jesus and showed confidence that a single word would be enough for the miracle to happen.<\/p>\n

But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. (Matthew 8:8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The attitude of that man caught Jesus\u2019 attention, and He declared:<\/p>\n

Go your way; and as you have believed, so<\/i> let it be done for you. (Matthew 8:13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The account shows that distance was not an obstacle<\/strong> to the manifestation of God\u2019s power.
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

When Faith Reaches What Is Far Away<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Just as in that biblical episode, there are situations that are physically far away but remain present in our concerns. It may be a family member, a situation a person cannot resolve, or even a circumstance that seems to be beyond their reach.<\/p>\n

Through faith, however, it is possible to seek God\u2019s intervention, trusting that His power is not limited by space or circumstances.<\/p>\n

With this purpose, this Friday at 10 AM, 4PM, or 7 PM<\/strong> at The Universal Church<\/span><\/a>, during the Point of Light Chain of Prayer for Spiritual Deliverance<\/strong>, we will have a moment dedicated to those who wish to present to God a situation that needs His intervention, even if it is far away.
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

Strengthen Your Faith and Seek God\u2019s Intervention<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The purpose is to strengthen faith and help participants understand that when a person seeks God with confidence and sincerity, distance is not a barrier to what He can do. Take part in the Point of Light Chain of Prayer this Friday and present to God what is currently beyond your reach.
