BLESSING TRUTHS AMPLIFIED

My Dear Precious Child,
    The invisible, spiritual world became more and more real and evident to the disciples the closer in time it came for the sacrificial Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, to die for the sins of the world.  Not only did Peter, James and John see with their physical eyes the prophets Moses and Elijah who had long before died in the flesh, but the healing and miracle ministry of Jesus increased as more and more people came to Him for His power to overcome the works of the devil in their lives.  The invisible world became more and more visible.  My heaven became more and more evident to the people who witnesses My power of the Holy Spirit overcome the works of the devil in people who were came to Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 15:40-49)
    To the three disciples, they had been convinced that the Elijah whom they had had physically seen and physically heard, that he was actually the spirit of John the Baptist, proving that My heavenly kingdom of God was already manifesting itself to human beings in the world. Jesus Christ and His disciples approached a large crowd that was waiting for Him and a man approached them and begged Jesus to have pity and mercy upon his son who was cursed with epilepsy.  The man told Jesus that his son would occasionally fall in a fire and many times fall into water in one of his convulsing episodes.  The man admitted that he had asked some of the disciples to pray for his son, but they weren't able to cure him.  (Matthew 17:14-16)  Jesus rebuked the demon and it left the man's son.  The boy was cured instantly.(Matthew 17:17-18)
     After His disciples privately asked Him why they couldn't drive out the demon of epilepsy, in that rare occasion Jesus Christ became perturbed with his disciples, telling them that they were of a perverse generation of people.  He said that He was soon not going to be with them any longer, and that their faith was lacking in their not being able to authoritatively drive out the demon of epilepsy.  He assured them that soon they would be able to have faith the size of a mustard seed and they would say to the demonic kingdom of epilepsy to move from one place to another place and it would obey because nothing would be impossible for them.   Jesus also told the disciples that that particular demon would only be cast out by prayer and fasting.  (Matthew 17:19-21)  He was mirroring the truth in the parable of the mustard seed, that when My kingdom of God came into them they would be filled with all faith and power. ( Matthew 13:31-32)
     It became evident to the disciples that they did not carry around the anointing of the Holy Spirit all of the time, that on occasion they must fast and pray for a special anointing of the Holy Spirit when they were going to be in a battle with particularly persistent and stubborn demons who do not want to give up their earthly resting places in the bodies of people.  Those demons are comfortable in the bodies of certain people.  Some of them had been handed down from generation to generation in the historical lineage of a particular family. Very often, praying needs to be accompanied by fasting a particular attitude or action because satan cannot cast out satan if his attitudes, thoughts, words and actions are present.  Jesus was assured that when My Holy Spirit became resident in the bodies of His disciples that He would train them and tutor them in how to effectively defeat the works of the devil in the lives of all people.  That anticipated day was soon approaching.
