Acts 19:14-41
Some Jews who went around driving spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon possessed. One day the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power at Ephesus.
Teaching and healing go together, and the news of a remarkable exorcismé©…é” spreads like wildfire through the city.
So effective is Paul's ministry in communicating the message that 'god made with hands are no gods at all' that it cuts the takings of the silversmiths making images of the city's famous goddess, Artemis. They stir the whole place to uproar, dragging Paul's companions to the great theatre, and chanting slogans. After two hours of this , the town clerk manages to calm them down. Like Gallio at Corinth he declares the Christians innocent.
Why?
People don't know Jesus is the Lord and Paul is the servant of the Lord, but the spirits are know that Jesus and Paul. How foolish many people they are!
Traditional religious and business confronts with the true God for their business and their tradition customs.
Man-made God are no gods at all, it is evidence in conscious.
Teaching and healing go together make great power and remarkable exorcism spreads gospel like wildfire. It is powerful when God is with us.
How?
Speaking gospel with very easy words, lead more people understand it and accept Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
