Spiritual legalism is powerless.
I always hear these nonsense excuses from faith preachers who's faith couldn't move a marble, much less a mountain. They refer to and conflate "rules" as to why their own ministry is spiritually ineffective. The greatest commandment is to love, that pretty much over rides all of the fine print. Who would let a child remain demon possessed? Certainly not Christ and we have the mind of Christ, His power is also available to us, if, we, only believe.
