Acts 19:13-16
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
When I first read this scripture in my Bible, it stuck with me. My thoughts automatically thought, man, y’all should had made sure you knew Jesus before you attempted this. Throughout the Bible, it is plain to see that the devil and his demons know who Jesus is. They know He is God’s son, and they recognize His deity.
We would be wise to remember who Jesus is. 1. Jesus is the only begotten son of God the Father. 2. Jesus was born of a virgin Mary to become the sacrificial lamb for our sins. 3. Jesus died for us. Not that He sinned, but He took our sins upon Him. 4. Jesus was raised on the third day fulfilling prophecy. 5. Jesus will be coming back, and will you be ready.
When Jesus comes back, is He going to know you? Jesus says in Matthew 25: 1-13 is the parable about the ten virgins. The foolish virgins weren’t ready for Jesus. I pray today, you are ready.
