Mountain Moving Faith

Scripture

And Jesus answered, "O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me."
(Mat 17:17 ESV)


Observation

Jesus rebuke his disciples when they failed to cast out demon. How could Jesus have possibly expected and even demanded His disciples to do the miracle? Perhaps he had given them the authority to heal the sick and to cast out demon in Matthew 10:1.


Application

According to Ps William Lau, The Elijah Challenge, there are four reasons we give to explain why the sick are not healed when we minister to them.

1. It’s not God’s will
2. It’s not God’s time
3. The sick person has sin
4. The sick person lacks faith

These reasons sometimes apply for certain circumstances. However , we rarely blame ourselves when the miracle does not take place.
The First 2 reasons, we are "blaming" God, the 3-4 reasons, we are "blaming" the sick person.

In fact, we didn't see Jesus addresses these 4 reasons when His disciples failed to do the miracle.


Response

Give me the gift of faith / mountain moving faith to do healing and deliverance In Your name in love, and to see your power, miracle, sign and wonder at work again in Jesus name. Amen.
