Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
We have to believe in what we can do. Jesus has taught his disciples a lot up to this point. He has taught them what to say in order to cast out a demon; he has taught them how to use parables for teaching; he has taught them how to perform other miracles. The only thing the disciples lack in this story is faith, not necessarily in God, but in themselves. They believe with their hearts that Jesus has the power to cast out demons, but they do not believe that they can do it. The disciples have no faith in themselves, and so are unable to perform this task that needs to be performed. We need to have faith in ourselves. We need to believe that we truly can do what Christ has called us to do. Only then will we be able to continue Jesus' ministry. God bless you.
