How did Jesus equip his disciples for powerful work by taking away their material possessions?

jesus first of all equips the disciples with his authority, without which they could have done nothing except spread the word.but jesus knew that we humans need more than just the word to believe.he also equips them with the holy spirit after his death.jesus asks the disciples to give up all their belongings for them to depend fully upon God.God will provide for all their needs, and is it not easier to believe someone you can identify with?if they traveled as kings people would have found it difficult to believe in them who are living comfortably while they suffer.

Jesus could not do a mighty work in his own town among relatives because of disbelief. What is disbelief?

disbelief is the contrary of faith.it is not believing even that which you see.it is not wanting to believe.so jesus` family or relatives did not have faith in him , and we know that faith made power flow out of jesus to help people in need.god who is one who doesnt force himself upon his people leaves them to their own free will to accept him or reject him, and thus be blessed with all that he promised them in this world and in eternity.if they choose disbelief he will just let them be and move on to the next city, because jesus came for all mankind and not just his own.for jesus said that whoever believes in him and his father is his brother.jesus sees things outside human understanding .his family is all those who have faith in his father and have the holy spirit in them.The absence of which will make a person a non-believer.

Faith allowed power to flow from Jesus even without his initiative. What is faith?

Hebrews11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for. Faith is the keyword of our salvation, it is by faith that we are saved from damnation, having faith in jesus christ is what saves us from eternal hell, `Without faith it is impossible to please God ''Heb.11:6''. it is our only channel of reaching God since we do not experience God physically.Faith, is the certainty of the grace of God. the true faith if present in the heart of someone would make him HAPPILY give up his/her life for it. the real faith makes a person very happy and joyful and content .by faith a person would want to do good to people without coercion and without expecting anything in return.Doing good only by the power of that faith that u have.you cant seperate faith from deeds , this is the case of all human beings who have the faith in jesus christ, and how more powerful would that faith be if it is the faith that the lord jesus christ has in his father , our God.However this power flowing from jesus and all those who have faith is not what faith does.Faith is the means through which God shows himself to us, .Faith is not our saviour, it is not faith that died for us, or promised us salvation.faith is what binds us to God.
