Today's Scripture *August 4, 2008*
Acts 19:13-16
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Some Ephesians engaged in Exorcism and occult practices for profit. The Sons of Sceva were impressed by Paul, whose power to drive out demons came from God's Holy Spirit, not from witchcraft, and was obliviously more powerful than theirs. They discovered, however, that no one can control or duplicate God's Power and Authority. These men were calling on the name of Jesus without even knowing Him personally. The power to change people comes from Christ. It cannot be topped by reciting His Name like a magic charm. God works His power only through those He chooses.
Father, we want to see Your glory come and fill our lives, Lord.
May we walk in personal relationship with You. We know that it is You who changes people, not us.
It is Your Holy Spirit that works in and through us and others. We worship You and praise Your Mighty Name!
Amen..
Have a blessed new week in Him!
April
