Matthew 17:20-21
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Jesus said two very important things about why the disciples could not cast out the demon.
• It was because of their unbelief.
• It was because this kind required prayer and fasting.
Prayer and fasting are effective tools only when supported by faith. Or else prayer and fasting are those tools that serve to increase our faith. No real work is accomplished simply because we go without a meal; the why is the key. The faith, the belief is the answer to it all. It is the faith that transforms the work of a man to the work of God through the man.
