Why could the disciples not heal the demon possessed man? Because their Faith, was in their own gifts and not in God, who can do all things.

How can we be justify ourselves to a Holy God?
God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah ( pause or reflect). Psalm 46:1-3
Our Peace, doesn’t come from our own perfection, but from our Faith in the perfect one, in Jesus. We must take the focus off of ourselves, and on Jesus. If we don’t, we will not find the peace, we are looking for. We will become like the double minded man, in James 1 (see notes below)
From John MacArthur Study Bible
26:1–4 The redeemed remnant will sing praise to God over their impregnable city, Jerusalem. ‡ 26:1 strong city. In contrast to the typical city of confusion (24:10; 25:2; 26:5) that was doomed, God has a future city of prominence, the millennial Jerusalem (Zec 14:11). † 26:2 Open the gates. Isaiah envisions the future Jerusalem, where only righteous Israel may enter. The redeemed remnant from other nations will come periodically to worship (Zec 14:16–19). † 26:3 perfect peace … trusts in You. A fixed disposition of trust in the Lord brings a peace that the wicked can never know (48:22; 57:21). Such reliance precludes double mindedness (Jas 1:6–8) and serving two masters (Mt 6:24). † 26:4 everlasting Rock. Lit. the expression is “Rock of Ages,” a rocky cliff where the trusting one may find shelter from attackers (cf. 12:2). † 26:5, 6 those who dwell on high … afflicted. The arrogant inhabit the lofty city during its overthrow; the humble inhabit the strong city (v. 1) in its exaltation (cf. Jas 1:9, 10; 1Pe 5:5).
I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. John 16:12.
Father, help us through your Holy Spirit, and your Word, discern your Truth, and not the Worlds empty Lies.
A Priority in Christian Leadership is given in the book of Acts 6:1-4. ………But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Acts 6:4
Thank you Lord, that in spite on this world’s pride and foolishness, that you show your Grace and Mercy to us all.
