Luke 9:41
"O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you
and suffer you"
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you. Why would Jesus say this to a man just wanting his child healed of an unclean spirit. The Scriptures tell us that the man had already ask the disciples to cast him out; They tried but could not cast the unclean spirit out. When he seen Jesus come down from the hill, he ask Jesus to Heal his child. However after Jesus made known that He knew the generation was faithless and I go further and say Jesus knew that all generations to come would be faithless and perversed as well.
We cannot always stay in a cloud of glory with the King; We need to go down into the valley with Him where Satan is at work. "Within the veil" and "without the camp" are two essentials for victory (Hebrews 10:19-22, 13:13). The nine disciples left at the foot of the hill failed and could not cast out the unclean spirit; because they had lost power over demons Christ had given them. Why and how could they lose what Christ gave them? There have been many thoughts and ideals of why; but it's simple they were mad because none of them were one of the three that went up the hill with Christ. They had a broken heart, so there was alack of devotion and unbelief.
In our walk with Christ we sometimes feel like the three disciples that went up the hill and sometimes like the nine that stayed at the bottom of the hill. In faith there is no top or bottom; We must have true faith and undying faith, to accomplish what God has called us to do. Secret sins and unbelief robs us of the power we are given by God. Let us go fourth, keep the faith and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ!! Amen
