Acts 19:11-20 “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
Miracles at Ephesus
11God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out. 13But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14Seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” 16And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified. 18Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices. 19And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.
I have witnessed miracles in my life from the hand of God through Jesus Christ from prayers, anointing with oil and by faith.
I have witnessed firsthand after prayer and anointing God raise up a man from his deathbed and give him more days. His wife tried to give me credit but I explained to her I was just a vessel of God used for His Sons glory. I told her like King Hezekiah, (Isaiah 38:5) God gave the king 15 more years. He has heard your prayers and given your husband more time so enjoy every day, minute and second God has given you. He lived another 6 months.
Will the demons say of you; “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” This happened to them because in their hearts they didn't accept Jesus Christ but we're trying to exploit His power for self gain. Don't be like these Jews but be a humble worker for Jesus. Become a vessel for Him and when and if He uses you, be humble so the demons will say; I recognize Jesus, and I know about you! You see, God has put His seal on you and the demons cannot touch you without His permission!
And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee
(2 Corinthians 1:21-22).
