release your faith in the teaching that you hear and you can receive help for your answer we've been studying the different healings that happened under jesus's earthly ministry so we're calling this healing school so we welcome you to healing school today on the jesus the heater broadcast turn with us in your bibles if you would to mark chapter 9 and we're going to start reading in verse 17 mark chapter 9 and verse 17. just to set up the scene the set here of where we're at is jesus had just experienced what happened on the mount of transfiguration peter james and john he had taken to uh the mountaintop and he had the experience of having a divine visitation up there and so jesus comes back with peter james and john off of that mountain and they return to see the multitude that's gathered around the other nine disciples so there's 12 disciples three of them were with jesus but nine of them were left down here and there's a multitude around them and it says in mark chapter 9 verse 17 and one of the multitude answered and said master i have brought unto thee my son which hath a dumb spirit so the the boy evidently cannot talk and verse 18 and it says where wheresoever he taketh him he teareth him and he fometh and gnasheth with his teeth and pineth away and i spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out but they could not now since jesus wasn't present at the time of this man coming the multitude gathering because he as i said was on the top of the mountain with his other three disciples so evidently this man had gone to the nine disciples that were there and he had he had asked them to minister to his son and nothing happened that there was no change so evidently they ministered to the boy and they didn't obviously get results so listen to the words that the father said to jesus i spake to your disciples that they should cast him out and they could not look at that word could not now three chapters earlier in this book of mark uh it records that jesus had sent out his disciples two by two to minister you'll remember jesus had demonstrated how to minister to the sick and then he takes his twelve disciples and he sends them out two by two and says now you go and basically you do the same thing so mark chapter six we're going to look at verse seven we're going to look at verse 12 and 13. and we're going to see what jesus instructed his disciples to do how many of you know we're his disciples too so mark chapter 6 verse 7 this is our instruction also and jesus called unto him the twelve and began to send them forth by two and two look at this and gave them power over unclean spirits now let me ask you this do they have power over unclean spirits it says he gave them power over unclean spirits so they do have the authority and the power to deal with the devils that they encounter now look at verse 12 and they talking about the 12 disciples they went out and they preached that men should repent and they cast out many devils how could they do that we know this because they had been given the power jesus gave them the power to do it or they couldn't have done it so they did do it and they cast out many devils and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them so notice that that healing anointing was also cooperating with them so since jesus gave them power over unclean spirits and they could cast out devils why couldn't they out of this boy the verse tell the next verse tells us why let's go back to mark chapter 9 and verse 19. remember what the father had said he said i brought my son to your disciples and they could not cast cast out the devil verse 19 jesus tells us why it didn't work in this situation he answered the man and said oh faithless generation how long shall i be with you how long shall i suffer you bring him unto me so he's letting us know why didn't the disciples get results it was a faith issue because they had the power so notice this you can have the power but not be using your faith and it won't work just having the power you also have to use your faith amen so it's faith and power together that bring results in the manifestation so uh we say this well let me put it this way if you're if you have a car it's parked in your driveway and that engine gives that car power to move to a different location we would say it this way the key is the faith you have to put the key in and turn it on that activates the power it's your faith that activates the power of god if you don't ever put the key in that car and turn on the key it doesn't matter that there's power in that vehicle to move you around from one location to the next you're not going anywhere without you adding that key and igniting that engine right it's the same thing faith ignites the power of god you have to apply your faith to the power of god so it wasn't a power issue it was a faith issue so this is why he tells them he's letting them know why they didn't get results oh faithless generation it's their faith issue so who is g who is jesus speaking to when he says faithless generation is he talking to the man who has the the son that needs freedom or is he talking to his disciples he's talking to both the generation both of them my disciples plus the man amen then he says how long shall i suffer you he's been training them but they back down and let slip what they have been trained in you can be trained by the word you can be trained by the spirit of god you can be trained as you sit under your pastor but that doesn't mean you're appropriately applying skill and so it's not enough to be trained you have to become skillful in what you're trained in and so jesus was a little bit displeased with them when he said how long shall i suffer you he's been giving them demonstration all day long they're seeing demonstrations of him with releasing his faith in the power of god and getting results and they themselves had done that but yet they lost their progress amen jesus has been teaching jesus has been preaching jesus has been healing for a period of time but he said that they're still a faithless generation so it's not just enough to say you've heard it you have to believe it amen so the disciples should have gotten results for they did in the past right but they're not getting results here so what do we see their faith regressed they regressed in faith their faith was diminished and faith is not something that's going to stay at one level it's always going to be increasing or it's going to be diminishing so always be feeding your faith so that your faith is always on the increase so jesus tells tells this man bring him to me meaning this i'm not going to let you go away without your help amen jesus wants help for anyone who comes to him so verse 20 so they brought the boy unto jesus and when the boy saw jesus straightway the spirit tear him so now we know there's a spirit causing this boy's physical condition that the boy is dumb he cannot speak so it's a spirit that's causing this and the boy the spirit tear the boy the boy fell on the ground and he wallowed foaming so when this devil in the boy got in jesus's presence that demon started manifesting in the in the body of that boy and the boy had something like what we would call a seizure he's foaming at the mouth so uh i just to just to let you know what happens when the anointing gets close to someone who is harassed by the enemy the devil knows that freedom is close help is close years ago i would do um tent crusades i would go into inner cities i would have food and clothes and toys we would invite people in the community to come to get the items but they had to hear me preach first after they i would preach them a short message i would teach them how to be born again how to be saved and then i would give them the free food clothes and toys so we had two separate tents one i'd minister to them and then one that held the items and then i would after i preached i would give the salvation call before we distributed any items we would give the salvation call and nearly every single person would had hundreds that would come and nearly every single person would come up to get born again so then after that we would say is there anybody here who wants healing for their body so i would have them to line up around the wall of the tent and sometimes you'd have you've had hundreds in a line i didn't line them all up at once i would take them one at a time and i didn't let them sit down until they were healed why because healing belonged to them and we came for them to get results not to go back home sick so i didn't let them sit down until they until they will receive their healing and so i noticed though that some of the people were tormented by the devil some were harassed to some measure not saying they were all possessed there were some that might have been possessed but there were some that were just oppressed or depressed there there are different degrees that the devil can trouble someone and so when they would get in the line i would notice that the ushers the men that would help and they would bring up a person one at a time that while the person maybe maybe they're they're down the road down the line about 10 people they would just stand there in line but when they get up to like being number four or number three or number two and they were harassed by devil they would start getting agitated and they would start acting out while in the line so i began to pay attention to that and then when it come their turn they'd take off and run out of the tent so i taught the ushers you go chase them you bring them back why they want help or they would have never gotten in the line i'm not forcing help on someone who doesn't want it they got in the line showing they wanted it but what happened the the devil in them cause and be so agitated getting close to the anointing that they would get so agitated they couldn't stand there and they would take off running and so i trained the ushers you go after them so our ushers became good runners and they would chase them and they would bring them back and invariably they would get set free you see this is what's happening in this situation when this boy is getting close to freedom the devil in the boy didn't like it and so he starts acting out to try to take control of the setting to try to dominate that setting you take authority you don't let demons cause unrest i'm talking to pastors or those ministers you don't let them cause unrest those people want freedom that's why they're there you don't let the devil distract them and get attention that's right the devil's not we're not we're don't give the devil attention he he's got one right shut up and come out his right is not to take over the service take over the attention and that's what this devil was threatening to do by creating a scene through this boy amen and so you have to learn that uh the devil doesn't want to leave the place where he gets expression through so in verse 21 jesus asked the father how long is it ago since this came unto him and the father said when he was a child so it's we don't know how old the boy is but we know this he's still under his father's care verse 22 the father goes on and tells the condition often times the devil has cast him into the fire and into the waters look at this to destroy him so the devil has gotten the boy to attempt to commit suicide but if thou can't do anything have compassion on us and help us now i want to again address what we see in verse 22. oftentimes the devil has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him the devil's not happy till he's destroyed satan comes to steal kill and destroy is what john 10 10 tells us satan comes but for to steal kill and destroy but jesus said but i've come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly so anything that steals kills and destroys god doesn't have anything to do with that that's always always always the devil everything bad is of the devil everything good is of god it's very simple everything bad is of the devil everything good is of god any and it doesn't even matter you say well i haven't been taught that way in my life it doesn't matter how you've been taught it matters what the word says satan comes to steal kill and destroy anything that steals from your life anything that kills whether it kills a marriage kills a business kills a body anything that kills a home it's from the devil satan comes to steal kill and destroy but jesus said but i've come that you might have life so in this verse 22 we see that this boy has been in a situation where he's tried to commit suicide this devil in him has driven him to try to commit suicide and i again want to say that if you know of if there's been loved ones family members relatives anybody that you may know of that's committed suicide if they were born again just because they committed suicide doesn't mean they went to hell because someone can be sick in their mind just like you can be sick in your body there are christians that get sick and die they don't go to hell because their bodies got sick and they died well even more if someone's mind gets sick anyone that commits suicide anyone that commits suicide their mind is sick the devil has tormented and made their mind not work right because anyone in their right mind does not injure themselves a sound mind does not injure self and so just know this i don't know what people have been taught i don't know what they've been told or what they've heard that if someone commits suicide that they'll go to hell not if they're christian not if they're a christian jesus is rich in mercy god is rich in mercy and i guarantee you if they were born again even though their mind got sick they still went to heaven just because their mind broke down didn't mean they went to hell any more than their body breaking down means they went to hell amen so i want to no i want people to know that because the devil has tormented many mamas and daddies and family members when somebody had when suicide has been involved so here we know it's the devil that's working through this boy in verse 22 that tries to tries to take his life from him and the father makes this statement can you imagine the desperation of what this does to a home of this kind of behavior and these kinds of episodes how it torments and troubles a home so the man the father in this desperation in verse 22 the last phrase says but if thou canst do anything have compassion on us and help us so you can understand the father's heart so the the spirit's not just tormenting the boy he's tormenting the whole family through this boy so when the father says if thou canst do anything now notice the father is unsure if jesus can help he's unsure if you can do anything these words of the father are putting the responsibility back on jesus if you can do anything and jesus verse 23 answered him and said if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes so we want us to see jesus is letting the father know it's not a matter of what i can do it's a matter of what will you choose to believe he's letting him know all things are possible i can do this but it's not just what i can do what will you choose to believe so look at these words jesus said all things are possible to him that believeth i love this phrase all things are possible to who not to everybody but just to the ones that believe as a christian as a believer that's you you're a believer you would benefit yourself by saying all things are possible for me all things are possible all things are possible build that into your spirit build that into your heart say it over and over when you're faced with an impossible situation all things are possible to me because i believe i believe so all things are possible to believe all things are possible to me now notice believing is a choice not a feeling of emotions you don't believe because you feel like god heard you you don't believe because you felt something in your body believing is a choice and strictly a choice it's a decision you make in verse 24 and straightway the father of the child cried out and he said with tears lord i believe help thou mine unbelief now we see the sincerity of this dad don't we he's he's saying i i'm because at first he was putting the responsibility on jesus if you can do anything do it but now jesus puts it back on him you must believe and so we see his sincerity lord i believe but help me in my own belief can you believe but also have unbelief at the same time because this is what the father is saying i believe help me with my unbelief well let me explain it to you this way you can have faith in your heart but doubts in your head and this is what the father was voicing i believe in my heart but my head my head is full of doubts my head is full of wondering how is this going to happen you see so as long as faith is in your heart every christian is going to find at times faith in their heart but doubts that come to the mind amen now choose you want to live out of your heart or your mind it's not so much about getting rid of all the doubts it's choosing to live out of your heart where the faith is because faith in your heart will still work with doubts in your mind if you'll just keep acting on the faith and not the doubts keep complying with the faith in you instead of the doubts in the mind amen when you go to believe god with your when you go to believe god with the faith that's in your spirit the devil will bombard the mind he'll tell you all the reasons why you're not going to receive your answer why you're not going to receive your help ignore that ignore all the thoughts that come to the mind answer them say no that's not true god's word will come to pass god's word will come to pass because there's faith in your heart and your heart wants to believe your faith your heart does believe but you you turn and you decide i'm going to operate out of my heart and not out of the fate the the the doubts the thoughts that come against my mind so just because those stouts of dog of doubt come doesn't mean you don't have faith you do have faith and the faith that's in your heart will still work if you will turn toward your heart and away from the doubts that come to the mind that's why ii corinthians chapter 10 tells us casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of god bring it bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of christ so he's basically saying this is that when those thoughts of doubt come they come to all of us cast them down don't accept them don't take them in and let them dictate your actions let the faith in your heart dictate how you act amen how do you cast those thoughts down you answer them no that's not my thought no that's not my thought and you say what the word says my god shall supply jesus took my infirmities and he bear my sickness you answer with what the word says again faith is a choice not a feeling choose to act on the faith that's in your heart instead of acting on the doubts that come against your mind that's what the bible calls fighting the good fight of faith amen everyone is going to encounter that now choose choose to live out of your heart that's what this father was referring to he had faith in his heart that's why he brought he brought the boy to jesus he had faith that his son could be set free but there were doubts coming against his mind so notice the faith in his heart still worked even though there were doubts that were in his mind amen since faith was in the man's heart jesus jesus could help him there was faith there there was faith there if jesus is to help us he needs our faith amen he needs us to believe that he can help us verse 25 says when jesus saw that the people came running together he rebuked the foul spirit saying unto him thou dumb and deaf spirit i charge thee come out of him and enter no more into him and the spirit cried and rent him sore and came out of him and he was as one dead in so much that many said he is dead so notice this the devil coming out made one great last display sometimes after you minister and i've know this through ministering over the years is sometimes people look like they got worse after you ministered to them what was that that was the devil coming out that was the sickness coming out that was the pain coming out trying to make one last great display to deceive you into thinking it didn't work so notice when jesus told him come out it looked like it got worse dad hagen who was our spiritual father talked about many times he would minister to someone who had mental problems and after several days he'd ministered to him and tell the devil to come out of him family would call and say brother hagin they've gotten worse he said what of it that's just a sign that that devil's coming out and he and he said invariably after three and sometimes up to ten days later their mind would become instantly free why because he recognized the pattern this is the pattern when the devil's dealt with sometimes he throws one last great demonstration but it's a sign he's coming out verse 27 and jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up and he arose and when he was come into the house his disciples asked him privately why could we not cast him out and he said this kind comes out comes forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting so this shows there's different kinds of evil spirits he said this kind comes out by prayer and fasting but i want you to know this prayer and fasting doesn't change god and it doesn't earn something from god it will not earn someone's freedom fasting and prayer changes us it makes us more sensitive to god and to the faith that's in our spirit that's the benefit of prayer and fasting is it causes us to become more sensitive to the faith that's in our spirit and if those disciples would have been sensitive to the faith in their spirit they could have cast it out but they had regressed in faith amen so prayer and fasting doesn't earn something from god it positions us to be sensitive to what god has put in us hallelujah praise the lord we trust you've enjoyed today's program visit us at
