You Know My Name

Acts 19

13 A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a leading priest, were doing this. 15 But one time when they tried it, the evil spirit replied, “I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?” 16 Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, overpowered them, and attacked them with such violence that they fled from the house, naked and battered.

So, some guys thought they could cash in on Jesus without really being followers of His? Huh, sounds like some TV Evangelists of our day. All I can say is that if you are claiming to do anything in the name of Jesus, you had better be sure that you are indeed following obediently the King of kings and the Lord of lords. If the demons don’t know your name, it could very well be that your name doesn’t exist in the eternal realm (The Lamb’s Book of Life). Hmmmm...
