Matthew 8:8,10 The officer answered, “Lord, I am not good enough for you to come into my house. You need only to give the order, and my servant will be healed.

He said to those who were with him, “The truth is, this man has more faith than anyone I have found, even in Israel.

I’ve met some seriously loopy Christians in my day. Truly I have. People who believe God for all the wrong things. But then, I’ve also met some who believed God for good but outrageous things … so you can be left wondering, “is that the right thing to do, or not?”

And yet this man of considerable power comes before Jesus and we’re told, just before that passage we just read, that he begged Jesus for help. From a human perspective, in the context of the society in which it occurred, that’s absolutely ridiculous, but …

A modern day prophet and Gods work in pioneering a way to bring light and life through His Son Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit to pave a new mental health plan that makes clearer the very fine line and all the loopy ideation and highlights the genius mind and the intelligence of His grace and mercy given through a modern day prophet a pioneer for mental health in a new light and a new golden rule.
