There were a multiplicity of needs pressed around Jesus, yet He did not minister to all their needs.
What made Jesus Ministry most effective was that He spoke exactly as the Father Spoke, when the Father Spoke, was silent when the Father was silent, refused to do what the Father was not doing, He acted when God acted and ministered as God moved.
The effectiveness of Jesus ministry was primarily that God was with Him! God moved and worked mightily with Him and He with God the Father.
He saw the world around Him through His Father's eyes, that's how He knew the hearts of men, He understood with the mind of the Father, His heart beat with the love of the Father.
Nothing less than God Himself and the working of His Spirit can save those around us, if we are ministering with less than that, we either overesteem our human strength or underetimate our and the world's need for God.
Spiritual Discernment
Only God can know what word will lift up this soul, and the divine timing of when a soul is ready to receive salvation etc.
The only way Jesus knew was that HE spent time in prayer with the Father, knew the Father and obeyed as the Father showed Him step by step
