 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus  and knelt before him. “Lord, have mercy on my son,” He said. Matthew 17:14-18

“He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” Matthew 17:14-18

“O unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” Matthew 17:14-18

“Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.” Matthew17:14

Not connected to God.

Too connected to the world.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith.” Matthew 17:19-21 

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Matthew 17:19-21

Nothing will be impossible for you. But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:19-21
