Why not use commands?

Bob, I left out belief on purpose because this discussion/debate is about commanding. I am very much aware of belief or the lack thereof. Some of the mountains in my life haven't budged an inch. Yet others have. But I'm not giving up, but studying and abiding to come at it from another angle.

Matthew 8:5-13
5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 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.
9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Some have read and read these verses and still don't get it. As Hagin has said, it's more about the authority of a trustworthy Believer in Christ. Did Hagin ever talk about coming at it from your "commanding" angle. Don't put the cart before the horse.

Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
