The David Spoon Experience 6-15-23 Part 2
1) The Book of Acts just keeps getting better and better. We come to the place where Paul and Silas were going down to a prayer meeting. Nothing specific. Just going down to pray. Just going to hang out, just going to fellowship. In the meantime, a slave girl who was demon-possessed met them. She was a fortune teller. And she was a vehicle for Satan. The truth of the matter is that evil spirits engage with people and use them as spokesmen and spokeswomen all the time. And while the Devil is certainly not omniscient, he is not an idiot either.
2) She follows Paul and Silas and says, “These men are servants of God.” Even here it’s known that when somebody is operating in connection with God, it’s not only affecting their dark kingdom, but also them. And the only available recourse is to acknowledge it because every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess.
3) But Paul reaches a boiling point, which tells you that we also can reach a boiling point. He got so exasperated that he cast the spirit out of her. He was so annoyed that he just didn’t want to hear it anymore. So, he cast that spirit out and away from him. He did not consider that the people who she worked for were going to lose money, and therefore lose their minds over this. And when it comes down to it, loss of money is more important than where the source of the money comes from. Just take a look around to see that this is true. They didn’t care about the demonic part. They cared about the bank account. Sounds a lot like today’s earth, don’t it?
