This Kind Does Not Go Out Except By Prayer And Fasting

                However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting - Matthew 17:20.

                The disciples were not able to cast out the demon of epilepsy out of a boy. They could not cast out the devil because of their unbelief. Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour - Matthew 17:17,18.

                 The disciples asked Jesus why they could not drive the demon out of the boy and Jesus told them that this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. Faith as small as mustard seed will move mountain by the power of God. So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting" - Matthew 17:20,21.

                 We will not be able to drive out some kind of demons in our life unless we are in fasting and praying. Fasting and prayer brings deliverance and healing in our body. It produces the faith that moves mountains. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the Son may bring glory to the Father - John 14:12, 13.                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Increase our faith. Help us to be victorious in our life by fasting and praying. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
