The content of the text in which Jesus healed a child possessed by a demon is recorded in both the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, and its meaning is considered important.
The father of a child possessed by a demon tried to prescribe various methods to the child, but could not fix it.
There are two reasons why this child could not be fixed.
1) Because he was possessed by a demon.
2) Because it has been like that since childhood.
As such, this child was possessed by a demon from a young age, so it was very difficult to fix it.
What the devil did when he entered the child was very terrifying.
They made a child dumb, knocked over, foamed, and thrown into water and fire.
How do I fix this child?
There is an answer and a solution in the text.
First, they brought it to Jesus.
This demon-possessed child could not come to Jesus voluntarily. That's why my father brought it. He came to Jesus with the will and determination of the Father.
The child would not have tried to go to Jesus. However, because it was the best and last way to fix the child, the father forced him to take him out. And, I was healed.
I pray that you too can bring your children to Jesus.
Second, I believed in Jesus.
The child's father did not have faith to begin with. However, after hearing Jesus' words, "If it is possible, nothing is impossible for those who believe," he asked Jesus to help him with his unbelief and believed. It is our duty to believe in Jesus and bring our children out.
Third, Jesus healed.
Jesus rebuked the demon and said, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of the child and do not enter again." And a demon came out of the child.
A person possessed by a demon is controlled by a demon. No one can control or command ghosts.
But I pray that you believe that only one person, Jesus, can command. Therefore, let us also command the demons in Jesus name! Let's command with decisiveness, boldness and decisiveness!
Our Lord Jesus has the power to restore and make life.
The Lord also raised the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue, raised the son of the widow of Nain, and raised Lazarus from the dead. He raised the dying and raised the dead.
But after healing the demon-possessed child, the disciples asked Jesus why they could not heal the demon-possessed man. Jesus said, "This kind cannot go out except by prayer."
That's right. We must believe and pray for the way to save our children and the youth of our church.
And the Lord does the work of saving, restoring, and renewing.
Everyone! Pray for our children and youth in our church, in the name of the Lord I bless you.
