Do they know you?

Reading from Oct. 24 Acts 19

TOPIC: Spirit-Filled

SCRIPTURE: "And the evil spirit, answered and said to them. 'I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?' " (Acts 19:15)

OBSERVATION: Many 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 obviously more powerful than theirs. They discovered, however, that no one can control or duplicate God's power. These men were calling on the name of Jesus without know him personally. The power to change people comes from Christ. It cannot be tapped by reciting his name like a magic charm. God works his power only through those he chooses.
