Lesson 4243

 (Lesson 4243)(09-03-23) Mark 9:28-29

    “And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”

    Today’s quote is a bit confusing to me. Therein, Jesus, referring to the evil spirt that He had just removed from a man, supposedly said, “This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”

     I worship an Omnipotent God. I believe Jesus, being God in the body of a man, did not require “prayer and fasting” to remove that demon. I don’t understand the seeming conflict. I will write it off asuming that the author of the book of Mark misinterpreted the conversation.~
