Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21).
Are you maintaining your spiritual disciplines?
Jesus chooses three disciples to display His glory before them. Do you think the other nine got jealous of Peter, James, and John who witness Jesus’ transfiguration? Jesus previously empowered the twelve to expel demons (Matthew 10:1). Yet the nine couldn’t cast out a demon from a boy (Matthew 17:16). Why did they lack the capacity to expel an unclean spirit, since they had previously been given that ability? Perhaps they become jealous of Peter, James, and John instead of being content with their designated service for Jesus; they temporarily lose their effectiveness since they are not walking with Jesus. I believe Jesus exposes their lack of spirituality by saying, “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21).
Employment Point: Maintain a close walk with Jesus, including fasting and prayer, to effectively serve Him.
