TRY PRAYER AND FASTING

A man took his possessed son to Jesus for deliverance, and because Jesus wasn't around, he met with the disciples hoping for a miracle. The disciples tried to cast out the demon but couldn't. They probably tried talking and acting like Jesus, but that didn't get the demon out.

When Jesus returned, He cast out the demon! Then the disciples, wondering why they failed after doing all they saw Him do, met Jesus privately to know what they didn't do, or why He succeeded and they didn't. Then He said to them,

“Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.  However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:20-21

One thing is common in the lives of those doing exploits, they pray and fast a lot. Apostle Paul said he fasted often. Could it be that your situation hasn't changed despite the fact that you have been believing, confessing the word and sowing seeds, because it's the kind that requires prayer and fasting? Try prayer and fasting; it might just be the key to unlocking that door.
