A man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus to be cured. His disciples were unable to cure him. Jesus said, you faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I put up with you? And He healed the boy; the disciples later asked Jesus why they couldn't heal him and answered it was because of their unbelief.
When you are unable to do something that you know you ought to do, do you go to Jesus and ask Him why you couldn't do it? Or do you assume that whatever will be will be?
Learn from the disciples to ask Jesus every question we have, and Jesus always answers.
All those questions you've been having in your heart, take all to Jesus; He is willing to listen to you and give you light.
He said to them if they had little faith as a mustard seed they'd tell a mountain to move and it would; but this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting
There is a place for prayer and fasting in the Christian life?
When last did you fast and prayed and sought God?
God has many things He have for us but the key to some of them is prayer and fasting.
Do you want everything God has for you in this life? Make prayer and fasting part of your spiritual disciplines.
Jesus went from there and told His disciples all that He would suffer and killed and they were very sorrowful.
The tax persons asked whether Jesus paid tax or not and Peter answered yes. Today the question would be, does your master file returns or not. Jesus filed his returns and so should we
Jesus asked Peter from whom the taxes were collected their sons or strangers and Peter said strangers and Jesus said that children are exempted.
Peter was sent fish and from the first fish would take money to pay the temple tax so as not to offend the revenue authorities.
Here we see that Jesus is caring. He paid for himself and for his disciple Peter.
Even today, Jesus still cares and want to help out of your problems.
You maybe having debts that you have not repaid; Jesus is Willing to help you.
You may have gotten yourself into trouble due to your ignorance or careless and now there seems to be no way out; Jesus cares for you. He is willing to help you out of it.
As we sing in the well known hymn.
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
*What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer!*
*O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,*
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee
thou wilt find a solace there.
We lose our peace and bear Much pain unnecessarily, just because we worry instead of taking it to Jesus.
Stop worrying and take that problem to Jesus and you will have peace.
PEACE is the mark that our prayers have reached the throne. Phil 4:6-7
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
You are blessed to be a blessing
