Matthew 17:15 (NKJV) 15 \u201cLord, 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.<\/p>\n

This man’s son was an epileptic. Yes, he had a disease. But what kind of disease will cause him to throw himself into fire and into the water.<\/p>\n

This so-called disease had this child bound like a prisoner.<\/p>\n

The man brought his son to the disciples for them to cure him. But their efforts were fruitless. The disciples could not cure him.<\/p>\n

So the man went to Jesus and told Him that His disciples could not cure him.<\/p>\n

Matthew 17:16 (NKJV) 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesus’ response was, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?”<\/p>\n

His disciples, not having sufficient faith, were not able to bring healing and deliverance to this man\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

Matthew 17:17 (NKJV) 17 Then Jesus answered and said, \u201cO faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesus then took the son and rebuked the demon out of him, and he was cured.<\/p>\n

Matthew 17:18 (NKJV) 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.<\/p>\n

The disciples came to Jesus in private and asked Him why they could not cure him. He told them, number one, because of their unbelief. And, number two, this kind does not go out without fasting\u00a0and prayer.<\/p>\n

Matthew 17:20-21 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, \u201cBecause of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, \u2018Move from here to there,\u2019 and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

You see faith, prayer, and fasting are what it takes to remove strongholds, or demons.<\/p>\n

Some sicknesses or diseases have their root in demonic powers; physical symptoms stemming from a spiritual condition. This demon held the man’s son captive.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t always know what the cause of some sicknesses or diseases might be. But our Helper, the Holy Spirit, Who has come to teach us all truth, will know what the root of a situation or condition is.<\/p>\n

We fully understand that it\u2019s a hard thing for parents to see or acknowledge that their child may be captive to a demonic power.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also a hard thing to watch our child be destroyed and suffer from these things.<\/p>\n

If your son or daughter suffers from disease or mental health issues, have faith today. Pray and fast for them that God will reveal the root of their condition, and that they may be healed by His power.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
