This powerful teaching takes us into Mark chapter 9, where we encounter a desperate father whose only son is tormented by demonic forces. The disciples, who had previously cast out demons successfully, find themselves unable to help. When Jesus arrives, He demonstrates that what seems impossible for us is effortless for Him. This story challenges us to develop three essential qualities for experiencing and ministering deliverance: the courage to diagnose spiritual problems accurately without falling into extremes of seeing demons everywhere or nowhere; the humility to ask for help while bringing our helplessness rather than our holiness to Jesus; and the faith that prays consistently, not just in moments of crisis but as a lifestyle of abiding in Christ. The father's honest prayer—'I believe; help my unbelief'—reminds us that we don't need perfect faith to approach Jesus, just honest need. This Christmas season, we're invited to recognize that Christ comes to deliver us from every form of bondage, giving us back our lives just as He gave that father back his son. Whether we're struggling personally or watching loved ones suffer, we can bring our burdens to Jesus knowing He came specifically to destroy the works of the devil.
