From the seven sons of Sceva we learn two very important things: <\/p>\n
(1) Satan knows who you are.<\/i> The demons in this man spoke to the sons of Sceva, saying, \u2018Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?\u2019<\/i> (Acts\u00a019:15\u00a0NKJV) Question: Do you have the kind of relationship with God that causes Satan to know your name, and acknowledge that you\u2019re a force to be reckoned with? When God asked Satan, \u2018Have you noticed My servant, Job?\u2019 he basically replied, \u2018Yes, and every time I come up against him I hit a force field I can\u2019t penetrate.\u2019 (See\u00a0Job\u00a01:8\u201312). Maybe you\u2019re preoccupied with your own inadequacy, thinking you\u2019re not up to the job, or you\u2019re not good enough. Understand this: it\u2019s not you<\/i> the enemy\u2019s afraid of\u2014it\u2019s God\u2019s Spirit within you! <\/p>\n
(2) When \u2018the evil day\u2019 comes, you discover if you have what it takes.<\/i> Paul said, \u2018Take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day.\u2019<\/i> (Ephesians\u00a06:13\u00a0NKJV) The demons in the man recognised the weaknesses in the seven sons of Sceva and stripped them of their pretence. You will only survive if your faith is genuine, because one day you\u2019ll have to walk with God when you can\u2019t understand or explain where He\u2019s taking you. Your techniques and talents won\u2019t get you through. You\u2019re going to have to stand on His Word when it doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s working for you. That\u2019s when you discover it\u2019s \u2018\u201cnot by might nor\u2026 power, but by My Spirit,\u201d says the Lord.\u2019<\/i> (Zechariah\u00a04:6\u00a0NKJV)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
