In Matthew chapter 17:
14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 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.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
20 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.
21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
The coming chaos in the world system will demand the remnant to walk in great faith, nothing less. It is not a time to be timid and fearful but know that FATHER will provide. To date, I have written 1,849 blogs on Love to those whom FATHER is preparing. Today is no exception for I am simply a vessel being used by FATHER doing my part for the Kingdom. HIS Love expressed through me is the reason for these writings. HE wants us to be prepared and walk in the revelation of Love when mankind realizes their world is crumbing all around them.
There have been those who were led by emotion to come to this site hoping for a quick fix. They have come and gone. It is apparent that those who hunger after the fullness of Christ continue this journey with me expecting FATHER to move each day in our lives.
In the above passage, Jesus had a “corrective interview” with His disciples and rebuked them for their unbelief. He even called them faithless and perverse! He identified the reason for their inability to cast out the demon- they lacked faith. Their unbelief prevailed instead. Faith comes by hearing The Word, praying, and bringing all else into subjection. Fasting includes not only the body and its cravings but the mind as well.
The “perverse generation” are those who have turned aside from the right path toward righteousness and followed the path toward destruction. The disciples were looking at what they saw rather than trusting The Word in great faith. Jesus openly rebuked them for their inability to cast out the demon. They had yet overcome unbelief in their lives.
These writings are intended to help you overcome your and my unbelief. The more time I spend with FATHER and focus on His Word, the greater my belief, faith, trust, and expectation. FATHER is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM. I expect to be rewarded as I diligently seek HIM each day and write these blogs to bless both you and me. I probably need these writings more than you all. Even if I am the only one who reads these writings, it will have been worth it.
We must be disciplined in our commitment to overcome unbelief. It has to be done at a personal level so don’t expect others to resolve your unbelief. Don’t expect a “sign” to somehow cause you to overcome faithlessness. It takes commitment as Jesus stated if you want to be used by FATHER.
There have been many prophecies concerning the end times and we must be ready when the chaos comes to fruition. As I wrote yesterday, Brazil and other South American countries are already dealing with social unrest. The current financial system is teetering on collapse and has been for the last ten years. I believe FATHER has kept it from collapsing as HE prepares the remnant to walk in Agape Love and great faith. Let us overcome any unbelief that resides in the deepest crevices of our hearts and only by prayer and fasting will that unbelief be exposed and rooted out.
