Christ's Statement about Our Confidence Shaping Reality
Mat 8:13 Go your way; and as you have believed, [so] be it done to you.
"Go your way" is hupago, which means literally "to go under" or "to bring under," but also means "to go away" and "to depart." "You have believed" is pisteuo, which means "to put faith in" or "to fell confident that," "to entrust," and "to comply." It has the sense of trusting in a person. "Be it done" is ginomai [gignomai], which, as we discussed in the Lord's Prayer, means "to become," or "to come into existence," "to be produced," (when referring to events) "to come to pass."
For me the context of Christ speaking to the centurion here about his sick servant is completely irrelevant. For me, this isn't even about faith. Christ is statement is about the nature of reality. As you go through life, what you believe will happen to you is what really happens to you. It means that what you have confidence in is what you make happen.
