Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word – it raises us to new levels. Mark 9:14 – When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked. A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.” “O unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” “’If you can?’” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.” Did the disciples just speak to the demon – and it didn’t budge? Did they forget to pray and ask their Heavenly Father to drive it out? Or did they forget to use the Name of Jesus? Jesus didn’t pray, He just spoke to it. Scripture doesn’t tell us what method the disciples used to try and cast out the demon, and Jesus didn’t ask His Heavenly Father – He just spoke to it and it obeyed. That’s how authority works. But when they asked, Jesus said – this kind can only come out by prayer. So Jesus wasn’t talking about His prayer in the moment, He was talking about His prayer habit. This kind of problem, challenge, opportunity, miracle only happens through prayer. Your prayer life is the source of your belief life, because Jesus said, O unbelieving generation. So prayer is what generates belief, and degenerates unbelief. Prayer is the key to the big results in your life, the big answers, the big miracles, the opportunities. Have you ever wondered if your prayer life – is generating the belief you need in your life? Praying that you will review the PRISM Topic Packet: Prayer – that you will increase your belief through prayer, as the Holy Spirit draws you, as the Holy Spirit leads you and directs you. So your belief will be strong, so the authority of Jesus Christ – flows through you according to His will. Praying that you will grow this kind of prayer, for this kind of opportunity. He is willing, praying that God will grow your belief, and remove all unbelief - In Jesus Name, Love you all, dad
