Mastered by one more powerful

The name of the Lord Jesus brings freedom to those bound by evil spirits. It brought freedom to many in the days of the early church and still has that power today. Although there are those seeking financial gain through the misuse of His powerful name, they will soon find out that their gain comes at a great cost- being mastered by the evil spirits of greed, power and corruption. Cling to the One who has all power in heaven and on earth- the creator and sustainer of the universe. – Teresa #helpmeseekthehealernotthehealing #NatalieGrant #morethananything

Acts 19:13-20 (ESV)

13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15 But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all[a] of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 18 Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. 19 And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.
