Mark 9 Revelation

Jesus was walking and heard a group of people arguing, the disciples were arguing among themselves.
A young man had a demon, a mute and deaf spirit.
-Why have we as Christians lost our stronghold of faith?-because we have become selfish (fleshly).
The disciples were not trying to heal the boy. The boys father came up to the disciples and asks "who is the greatest amongst you?" -so the disciples were arguing about which one was greater. They did not even try or attempt to try to heal the boy.
Jesus approaches and sees and knows exactly what is going on. As He comes near the father of the demon possessed boy runs to Him. [and there are many who need healing in this crowd, but the disciples are too busy trying to figure out which one is greater to just heal in Jesus's name].
Jesus asks "What are you discussing?" He knows of course but wants them to admit it. The man said "I brought my son so he may be healed. I spoke to Your disciples so that they should cast him out, but they could not." Jesus rebukes them for not having faith. He knows they could have healed him if they were not to busy arguing about who was better to do it. All Jesus did to heal the boy was looked at him and said "you deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter him no more!" Jesus looked at it and called it out by name and commanded it to leave.
Jesus tells us (vs 23) "If you can believe; all things are possible to him who believes." Our unbelief is what limits us. If we get rid of our unbelief and replace it with belief then anything, "ALL THINGS" are possible!
Afterward the disciples were asking Jesus "Why could we not cast him out?" Belief comes though prayer and fasting. When we strip away our flesh and rely on God to do through us instead of us doing things or worrying about things. We live by faith and our belief grows and makes it possible to accomplish any and all things.
A few days after this incident Jesus questioned His disciples "What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?" Of course they were ashamed and did not respond, they stayed silent because they knew why they did not heal anyone then. They were too busy arguing about which disciple would be the greatest.
-Pride stopped them- They were relying on their talents they thought were theirs.
Jesus explained that who ever desires to be first, he shall be last of all and a servant to all.
Then John brought up someone who was casting out demons in Jesus's name but was not part of their group - they were not direct disciples of Christ "One of the 12". The disciples forbade them to cast out demons because they were not a part of the group of 12. Jesus rebuked them (vs 39) He also said "any one who is not against us in on our side".
People today sure think they have all the answers but fail to realize that Christ is much bigger than them. He has placed truth all over to be sought out and discovered. He places truth among the "body" so the body may search each other out and add to their picture of truth. The individual parts of the body cannot hold the whole truth, it would be overwhelming. So it is spread over the entire body. As we gather together we find new (to us) truth in the great picture of truth.
Healing and miracles are for NOW. They did not just happen for Jesus and His 12 disciples. Mark tells us this in Chapter 9 v 39. The person they refer to was not even in the crowd that followed Jesus directly. He still did it in Jesus's name to bring glory and honor to Jesus and the Father.
We need to know that we do not have all the answers. We need to know that our "church" or denomination does not have all the answers. Only a piece of it is found in those places.
The real full truth in in the body of Christ because Jesus is the truth and He is the whole truth.
