When we are operating in unbelief we don’t cease to believe, we simply believe something that is not true. The disciples were convinced that the demon they were facing was too great for them to deal with. This was a lie. They had all the authority they needed to deal with the devil.”

His mercy in the Son paid the price of his justice in the Father, and his Spirit forges an irreplaceable, unbreakable, and eternal union with him that carries us through death itself (Psalm 147). This is authentic Christianity, and its steep costs and high yield can be withstood only when the strength of our words matches the strength of our relationships.”
