PAUL CASTS OUT A SPIRIT OF DIVINATION

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Miracles In The Bible

a) When people talk about miracles in the Bible, they might automatically think about Jesus. But the Bible is full of miracles performed by other people sent by God, throughout both the Old and the New Testaments. These stories of miracles were written to help God’s people understand more about His love for them and power. As a result, the Israelites would learn to trust in God at all times.

b) Other books in the Old Testament are packed full of miracles. These are mainly performed by prophets: people called by God to represent Him on Earth.  


2. Paul Casts Out A Spirit Of Divination

Acts 16:16-18
One day, on our way to the place of prayer, a slave girl ran into us. She was a psychic and, with her fortunetelling, made a lot of money for the people who owned her. She started following Paul around, calling everyone’s attention to us by yelling out, “These men are working for the Most High God. They’re laying out the road of salvation for you!” She did this for a number of days until Paul, finally fed up with her, turned and commanded the spirit that possessed her, “Out! In the name of Jesus Christ, get out of her!” And it was gone, just like that.


The End ...
