Matthew 17:19-21

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why
could we not cast it out?” So Jesus 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.”

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

One dramatic example of the need for prayer is described
in Matthew where the disciples tried to heal an epileptic
child and failed. After Jesus then healed the child, the
disciples privately asked Him why they were unable to heal
him.

Jesus first told them it was because they did not have
enough faith, but went on to say that this kind of healing
required prayer and fasting! So we know that some things
require deep prayer that involves fasting.

This is wonderful advise from Jesus Himself on how to
handle our most serious efforts at prayer; perhaps a way
to show our Lord how serious we are about a particular
matter: Fast and Pray.

God Bless You!

–ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. Where and at what time of day did Jesus meet the woman
at the well?

A. Samaria, at noon

So He came to the city of Samaria which is called Sychar,
near the plot ot ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied
from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the
sixth hour.

John 4:5-6

By Roman reckoning, the sixth hour would be Noon, as they
divided the daylight hours into twelve periods and began
counting at daybreak; therefore the sixth hour would
always be Noon, no matter what time of year.
