Everything is possible for one who believes

Mark 9:14-29

“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.” 

“You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

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."

Why?

The disciple could not drive out the spirit from the boy, there are two things, one is the father of the boy does not believe when he confessed and asked Jesus to help him overcome his unbelief. The second disciple needs to drive out the spirit through prayer.

Prayer is asking the authority of the Lord to come over it. It is not our capability but the Lord has the spirit to drive out the devil.

前面在山上耶穌變像，下山後，門徒趕鬼趕不出去，門徒與文士爭論，門徒有這經驗。權柄不是理論，而是完全倚靠主，信仰不是理論而是生命！耶穌對他說： 你若能，在信的人凡事都能！孩子的父親看重什麼? 看重能力。大麻瘋的人說你肯。耶穌看願意信力，不是在於能力。連依靠的能力都沒有，這是真正的信心。求主幫助我有信心。百分之百靠主。不是靠我自己的能力。禁食代表對這事的急迫性，禁食是我們不靠自己的能力、自信。不是呼喊我有信心。門徒則是靠經驗，我們常依靠經驗、理論！辯論即使贏了鬼還是趕不出去。禁食是把自己的能力完全放下，因為沒有吃飯肉體會軟弱，不會依靠自己。
