Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with nothing is hidden from Jesus,

as we pick up in Mark, 9 verse 26 and now with today's

message here's Pastor Chuck the spirit cried and tore him sore and came out of

him and he was lying there like he was dead in so much that many of the people around were saying,

oh, he died, he's dead.

But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

And when he was coming to the house, his disciples asked him privately,

why couldn't we cast him out?

Good question.

They were powerless in this case.

And he said unto them, this kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting.

Now, it would appear that there are rankings of demon spirits.

And the Bible does definitely speak of the rankings, principalities, powers, which are all rankings, and there are

some that are more powerful than others and are more resistant to exorcism than our others.

And this was one of those more powerful demons.
