Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. The evil spirit comes out because prayer is the fuel of your faith prayer is the means by which you deepen your relationship with God!Ī lack of functioning in a direct, deep relationship with God can lead to a beating in life! Prayer is a separate activity from "calling those things that be not as though they were." Prayer is relational preparation time with God that builds up your faith enabling you to speak God's truth to circumstances ultimately causing those circumstances change and line up with God's truth. He was calling those things which be not as though they were in that moment. Jesus didn't pray in the moment he was casting the evil spirit out. After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn't we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.” The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He's dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit.
