is made perfect when mm-hmm in her weakness in our weakness my power is what you will see Steve when you are weak so I want to be like Paul who finished that conversation with the Holy Spirit saying therefore I will gladly boast about my weakness my struggle my trial my trouble my finish the sentence for yourself so that the power of Christ May dwell in me I’m I’m well content in those things so that the spirit of God can rise up in me and show me
his strength and my weakness for when I am weak help me Church then I am strong Lord we come to you as people who in our own Humanity don’t know how we can go forward we do not see a pathway and those moments make us our knees quake and our feet fail but in those moments you you come strong and you say I’ve got it and I’ve got you I love these people Lord those in this house and those in other places and I pray that
you your profound truth would become incredibly personal to them right now that they too and their weakness confined for themselves your strength for we ask all of this in the name of Jesus who gives us more than we can ask or imagine amen amen good morning church thanks brother hey kids you’ve you’ve been great it’s been fun having you you’re probably needing explanations for what what we’re doing here but we know what you’re doing where you’re going and it’s a blast so have a blast so
You probably saw my title most of you do before Sunday morning if you’re not on the mailing list go ahead and get there just a moment I might be a slow learner but over the years I’ve learned not to blow my nose with my microphone on so how’s that for maturity huh all right so how do how do you measure power my title says a lot there’s power in the name how do you measure power is it how many pounds you can just dead lift in
the gym you might be I I’m I go to a gym where there are lots of guys that I’m convinced that’s how they measure their power that’s how they would answer the question right now I’m not one of them but or is it the torque of the truck you drive if it’s a ram truck forget it it’s not worth measuring but if it’s a Chevy Like a Rock what more do I need to say or or is it the size of a country’s let’s kind of
gets serious all of a sudden nuclear Arsenal because of Putin and other developments in our world are I thought that nightmare from my childhood is over where we have to start talking about nuclear events and naturally that conversation goes to who’s got the most and who’s most accurate and a bunch of other measurements of power we’ll all die but who will die first I guess is really the irony of that or does your measurement of power come in man-made things like take the dams on the
Columbia River my wife and I Debbie and I we love to go to Bonneville for lots of reasons we we love to watch fish when they used to come up the fish ladder there aren’t many salmon doing that these days it seems but but we love the power of that Dam and I I got to thinking about that did you know that the actual the Columbia River Dam system is capable of producing the greatest number of kilowatt hours combined of any place in the United States
it’s it’s enormous it’s not small at all and we who live in or near Portland and the Bonneville Dam know that to be true but there’s 11 dams on that system from Canada that comes down through Washington and out to Astoria 11 dams combined you want to know how many kilowatt hours let’s just say how many Drive electric cars it would blow your battery up okay 21 billion kilowatt hours of power produced every year by those 11 dams that’s a lot of power it can actually
power more than 2 million homes and it’s estimated close to 10 million people with electricity it’s a ton and the crown jewel of that system is maybe you knew this the Grand Coulee Dam up in Washington have you ever been there I I’m sure it was just eye-popping and jaw-dropping it’s that big it’s massive it rises 550 feet into the air it’s built very big and and it produces a ton of power it was might find it fascinating built in just less than a decade took
a long time that’s a lot of building and a bunch of concrete how much concrete you ask thank you very much for asking how much concrete because I’m happy to tell you that it took 12 million cubic yards I don’t think my truck could pull that much concrete okay a lot of concrete think a four foot wide sidewalk four inches deep that stretches out at the equator it would cover the equator twice some of you are not into walking so that doesn’t impress you so you
get in your car and you want to drive it’s enough concrete to build a super highway from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida now we’re talking right it’s it’s crazy why do I tell you those facts I have no idea she got carried away right no I I do so because they actually they fascinate me I’m a junkie of things like I just love to take in information and then they set up a simple yet astonishing contrast God in the beginning our Bible tells us created the
universe and I’m including people in that in in six days Stay With Me something I like to tell people and I tell them often and to think God doesn’t even own a hammer you know that thing on every Christmas toy that parents get out and have to build God could say of the creation in six days no assembly required it’s true and it’s based on three words that are repeated six times in the creation story let there be every day had those words and every day
something amazing happened pretty impressive don’t you think oh by the way there’s three more words that are included every day in the text and it was or it was done so day one day two day on through it wasn’t like partially done and I will have to get back to the job site tomorrow it was done is done we’ve just wrecked it over all these centuries but it was done pretty impressive I think and it you would expect that be from an omnipotent God the word
means all powerful so how do we measure his power that’s the theme of our study today my Bible’s open to acts 19. And as you turn there in your Bibles I want to answer the question how do we measure God’s power I’ll answer it with my words this would be my what I would call my answer science gives us much to measure the universe when it comes to the vastness and its its immensity there’s there’s lots of ways to measure the known universe and I’m not
going to go there right now but go to Bill black he’s the smartest guy I know on this subject and you’re going to get a lot of emails but I’m not kidding you and invite him to home your home for dinner and he will you won’t charge him for dinner you’ll pay him for coming because he’s got a he’s got he’s got the power no he’s got a grasp of some really amazing facts that cause you to kind of come to the place I want us
to go to at the beginning here all right sorry Bill I had to do that but so the way God this is how I would measure God’s power the way God works in the lives of people it’s my my estimation the greatest measurement of his power Stay With Me that’s the storyline of Christianity it really is it’s the story of broken and defeated and empty and hopeless helpless people who can have their lives healed and restored and renewed and rebuilt totally changed in fact From the
Inside Out amen so if you’re in that first list you’re broken you’re defeated you’re you’re you’re you’re you’re ruined you’re wrecked you need to know something on the front end of this message that the powerful God that said Let It Be each day that creation happened is the god that can say the same about you about the stuff that’s broken in your life about the needs that you have and showed up with here today or watching from home today because listen to this it’s not something
that a preacher’s saying okay I get all my stuff from the Bible at least I I try to make that all that matters to me and I think it should the Bible boldly declares I’m quoting now people who were once this is why I can say that once dead spiritually okay you’re saying who are those people us all of us okay people who were once dead spiritually were given New Life in God because of his great love for them isn’t that great by the way that’s
in Ephesians chapter 2 verses 1 comma five okay one in five but read the whole section I’m just enticing you to go there here’s a second fact that supports why I believe the greatest Miracle move of God the greatest power move of God happened in Steve McCracken’s heart and life and keeps happening there and your life too I hope and this comes from second Corinthians chapter five listen to this the Bible confidently describes if you belong to Jesus you say how does that happen that’s a
good question to ask by confessing your sin and repenting saying God I can’t do it without you I need you to come live inside of me he will forgive your sins and get this he will make you brand new on the inside amen you guys listen I I could finish my message right there and just say listen if you or somebody you love is broken defeated ruined wrecked every whatever they just aren’t making it it’s not working you need to take this message to them or
you need to embrace this message for yourself because you will see Miracle of Miracles New Life Begin in a very measurable way in you in you if that ever stop being true I would pack up my tools and go home but I believe it’s true as true as it’s ever been and to pull that off takes power the kind to speak a universe into existence so chapter 19 we come to a really amazing display of God’s power the Apostle Paul has reached Ephesus we covered that
last week he showed up for his second visit and first visit was very quick and the people asked him hey don’t leave you’re cool we want more of what you’ve got we need what you have that’s important to us don’t go and Paul said no I got to keep moving but I will come back if the Lord Wills that’s all at the end of chapter 18. And guess what the Lord willed because chapter 18 was about his first missions trip in between he went home got
recharged reported what’s gone on and they said him again chapter 19 begins his next trip or next missions trip that we’ve called along the way there’s a third and a fourth one coming all right so he comes to Ephesus and and he’s he’s just a point of reference so you know these aren’t just make-believe cities some people think do those places really exist it’s actually in the Southwest tip not quite the tip of the Aegean C look on a map today and you see the Aegean
C on one side Ephesus on the other side you got places like Corinth and Athens and thessalonica and stuff like that we’ve talked about all these places real place on the on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea and Paul is in that place it’s what we would call today modern day Turkey South Turkey Paul is here at Ephesus and when he got here he wasted no time we covered this last week it’s just to catch us up especially you that weren’t here it’s last week
we said hey he came into town and right away the first seven verses of chapter 19 are him talking to a group of guys that actually were were Believers but they had been baptized in an insufficient way they were baptized in John the Baptist’s way which is a baptism of repentance we went into great detail last week and you can get that and and watch that video If you haven’t or listen to the audio but Jesus has a baptism of the Holy Spirit and when that
happens the Holy Spirit comes to live inside and permanently take up residence to pull off what we’ve talked about already this morning this transformation that he’s interested in can I just thought myself and say this to you if you haven’t been at Grace Point for a very long time some people ask and it’s a good question what’s God up to in my life where is this change thing going what is his end game all those are terms we use today right so what is it what
are you up to where are you taking me you might say that in a prayer hopefully not a complaint but maybe you do that too you say God what are you doing what are you doing can I answer his question and the whole Bible supports this statement I’m making you more like my son and less like yourself done everything I’m going the reason I have kleenexes it’s part of the process of making me more like him and less like me okay so God’s doing that kind
of work and thankfully his holy spirit lives in me and never backs off or pulls off the job amen so that’s the deal so he’s talked to these these people and they receive the Holy Spirit and they’re fully baptized Signed Sealed Delivered it’s all good and there were about 12 of them were told in verse seven that’s where we left off last last time they have a full understanding so Paul then ministers boldly in Ephesus for two years check it out with me verse 8. Paul
entered the synagogue there’s no break in between seven and eight so that means he was busy he went right into it most likely and he spoke boldly there for three months he said pastor there was two years you said keep reading he was arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God for those three months notice in the synagogue but some of them came obstinate that is folks that he was speaking to attempted to show you obstinate a visual of it but it’s this thing stiff-necked it’s like
stubborn inside you may not do it visually but inside you’re going nope don’t buy it don’t buy it wins this thing over obstinate okay some of them became obstinate they refused to believe and publicly maligned the way to see the capital w we’ll get to that so Paul left them next sentence he took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of taranus this went on for two years so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of turkey
modern day Turkey heard the word of the Lord all right now stop for a second that’s why I say ministered boldly for two years his first three months in the synagogue he was bold we’re told Luke made a point of that and he was persuasive it’s not like he wasn’t on his game wasn’t they weren’t stiff neck because ah you’re boring us you’re putting us to sleep no there was a there was a heart problem they were obstinate and they refused to change their opinion and
eventually actually took that opinion and started to express it with spiteful words that’s what verse 9 is saying spiteful words against the capital W way do you remember another person that called himself the way it’s exactly what this is he said I am the way John 14 verse 6 the truth and the life so these people were actually saying no I don’t buy it we’re into religion what’s this Jesus thing you’re bringing up all the time get over it move on okay so that’s what made
Paul say I’m out of here we’ve read this before by the way when when those words those four words so Paul left them moved on it was advice I took me back to Matthew 10 it often does because that was the first time Jesus sent his disciples out and when he sent him out he told him a whole bunch of things to do and one of the things he said which is often overlooked when people present what should we do that we’re sent out we often
Overlook what Jesus said in verse 14 if you bring the gospel to him my paraphrase verse 13 and they get stiff-necked a begum you know buy your way into their heart some other approach that persuades him no he said do a dust off walk on and and you say well that’s a lot well we already read it you don’t have to go back there we don’t have the time for it but in Chapter 13 of Acts it was when Paul and Barnabas were in central turkey
in the city of pasidia Antioch it’s about Midway in turkey and they’re there and there was resistance intense resistance and and it says there that they dusted off their feet it’s exactly what’s happened here so with that I want to say something about this is sensitive time you undoubtedly if you have Jesus inside you and you’ve got a story to tell of how he’s changing your life you encounter people that don’t have that same experience and that’s okay that’s what it means to go and and
make disciples and the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you’ll be my Witnesses acts 1 8 the whole book’s built on that but there are times when somebody becomes spitefully resistant and resentful to the way where they take things too far in their opposition now now his listen to me carefully when we encounter strong resistance to the gospel and I don’t know if any Christian that doesn’t encounter that from time to time be it at a place you live in a relationship or or some
other situation that you are you’re there for that purpose it’s time to consider after Consulting with the Holy Spirit should I leave them I don’t I’m not please don’t leave here and go hey he’s advocating divorce and separation no I’m talking about the gospel here and I’m talking about a situation where you’re sharing the gospel and the blowback is strong and intense like we’ve just read against the way then at some point after seeking counsel from the Holy Spirit and his guidance if he prompts you
to do so there may be that outcome at least temporarily you with me now if that’s get a bone in your throat or sideways call me let’s talk about that it was the first time I sort of experienced it and then when I heard it preached I learned from the pastor that was one of my mentors it was the most it was a lightning rod message was it got more pushback because people said no you just keep sharing you keep and and in that sermon he
actually mentioned those words don’t throw what is Holy to dogs don’t throw your pearls before pigs and what he was getting at is not the people that we share with her dogs or pigs he was saying you know what you’ve got sacred things here the truth of who Jesus is and what he did and if they’re trifling that to the place where they have no interest in hearing about him or the way Paul certainly an example in Jesus Council in Matthew 10 suggests find a different
way maybe even pull out okay that’s exactly what Paul did and he went to the lecture hall with his teachable teachable disciples and and the lecture hall is called the Hall of taranis we’re not really sure what that is okay so full disclosure is it it’s likely that it refers to some kind of a school or even what we might call today a seminary it’s probably not the only one it’s those places where you go to learn Theology and maybe have conversations about it I’ve been
I I did work at two seminaries in both in California and Southern Cal Talbot and Fuller Seminary and I remember when I was a brand new student at Talbot that was the first place I went in and I would go to classes that just were mind-blowing to me and it was a it was a wonderful setting because everybody there was there for the same reason we’re just trying to learn as much as we can about this book and about the God that it describes so we’re
just eating it up especially our theology classes I just remember coming out of there and I just felt like stuffy so stuffy from the overwhelming amount of insight and information that we were receiving about theology the study of God Christ Holy Spirit man sin salvation so Terry anyway I could go on you get the idea so in those moments it happens that in the schedule of Seminary students the very next thing after theology class was Chapel and so we’ve come out of theology just full and
Chapel’s a good thing but we found ourselves going wow this is not the best placement I I got so much on my mind to ponder I want to discuss it with people oh we got to go to Chapel and sit and listen it’s kind of like here right hopefully it’s not that grueling for you to sit here and listen you know what I mean though especially if you just came out of a seminary theology class so we skip Chapel we did all the time and they
have you take it they take attendance legalists they take attendance and I got called in and asked about it and I I didn’t really have these words in mind but we we would go to the lecture hall of taranis and about six of us sometimes just four in Southern Cal you may know it as Winchell’s Donut House if he would have Donuts and coffee and you know what we went really deep like these guys did we took in a ton of really important things and my
first Seminary experience was two and a half years and so I felt an alignment with these guys in reading this because Paul did that for two years can you imagine that they’re just talking it’d be like you and I introducing a good latte right now and having a discussion about truth and your Bible’s open and so is mine and I’m hearing from you oh I didn’t know that and you’re hearing from me oh I didn’t know that that’s deep that’s cool that’s worthy of donuts and
coffee folks okay all right so some of you didn’t laugh at the donuts and caught or winchells because they’re out of business so I don’t know think your favorite donut house I’m not sure but so that’s what Paul did and as a result God’s word spread far and wide and it was during this stretch that God was moving with a powerful display of really a profound display of his power through Paul so look with me again at the text and let’s pick up at verse 11.
God did extraordinary Miracles this is ongoing through Paul how extraordinary well even handkerchiefs and aprons I assume that is is something that they had in maybe the women all had aprons and the men had handkerchiefs I don’t know so even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched Paul were taken to the sick and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them wow this mirrors an earlier scene by the way it’s not the first time it happened to Peter back in chapter five in Acts you
can check it out verses 15 to 16 but it didn’t involve aprons and handkerchiefs no no physical touch as We Know it involved his shadow they would line up sick and and diseased people in the streets where he was where he was ministering and he would walk by in his shadow if it fell on somebody was enough to pull off this kind of power move it’s like whoa this is this is really remarkable you say well how well look at the words Luke uses extraordinary miracles
in the Greek it it renders something like this it’s it’s works of power not ordinary ones in other words there’s a contrast here it’s not just you know a slight move of God extraordinary means you know even if you were familiar with miracles how many have seen a miracle or been part or known of okay it’s okay to raise your hand okay so let’s just say you’re in that group that has some familiarity with miracles this would to you without exception be next level you go
I’ve been around miracles I mean I I know a lot of miracles in the Bible not just New Testament Miracles like raising Lazarus from the dead or feeding 5000 with a couple of Loaves and fish no no you you can go back to the Old Testament and you want to do it it’s really worth it so first and second Kings First Kings 18 and just roll to the end and into second Kings and you’ll read about Elijah and then his successor Elisha who came along and
asked for a double portion you say what does that look like I’ll tell you one of the things it looks like he had almost to the number almost to the specific number twice as many miracles God did through Elisha then through Elijah Elijah say it with me Elijah got it okay check it out so there’s lots of Miracles but I think even those people would go this is big this is really really big it’s important we understand something now because this was done they haven’t left
Ephesus it was done there in a city where Darkness dominated the tone just changed G Campbell Morgan is a British evangelism evangelist he was he’s with the Lord now Bible teacher and writer I got all kinds of his books in my library really good really deep but he says some things very simply that come alive describing Ephesus he said the atmosphere of the city was Electric with sorcery and incantations exorcists and all kinds of magical imposters end quote okay I wish verse 11 was a victory
dance we just read it God did extraordinary Miracles through Paul wow that’d be free to imagine but it but it wasn’t it didn’t get left there not willing to be vanquished easily we’re introduced to the Prince of Darkness and it and it comes at us hard and fast and will be finished there’s a showdown that you get to read with me now that turned scared people straight remember that old show Scared Straight it took in felons and then they brought in or people that were heading
toward a life of crime and they brought in felons and these felons in no uncertain terms just laid it out this is what’s gonna it was where you’re gonna end up if you keep it up and all that stuff and the theme there was to scare people straight well in this case there’s a showdown a spiritual Showdown that scared people in no small way and let me cover the incident and then let’s pull some principles out of it the incident is if you had been an
entrepreneur and you heard about what we just read in verse 12. That man these these napkins magic napkins magic aprons this is cool and if you’re an entrepreneur and there were many of them in Ephesus you saw verse 12 differently than then maybe the rest you saw it as an opportunity you’re thinking hey there’s an Allure here that I can’t leave on the table I gotta I gotta give it a shot there’s some money to me made here this is a capitalist opportunity staring at me
in the face because God knows how many people need help if I can convince him that I got help in this hanky right so this is this is the scene in which all of this unfolds what we’re about to read is is what I would call dabbling in darkness I’m speaking about those people in Ephesus because because it sells why would you do that otherwise and there’s always been a market for such things Even in our day there’s much and I’m not talking old school I’m
talking last week I’ve driven through places in Beaverton and Tigard so that’s current where Darkness dominates okay some of you watching or you’re here today visiting you know your cities you know where that’s happening but there’s much to attract today in darkness to the unwary tarot cards are one of them you say well that doesn’t go on you want me to give you addresses it really does go on and it goes on a lot there’s Ouija boards in my day that was like I think we
had a public Ouija board burning when I was a kid and I did a Ouija board one time and I I you know I cheated the whole way I mean am I we asked ridiculous questions and I’m moving that puppy around and getting yes no well I get married well you know whatever but Ouija board is not to be trifled with neither is palm reading that couldn’t be true today oh yes it is astrology not astronomy astrology I was in a class at Cal State Fullerton
in my undergraduate of science class let me say it again a science class the teacher asked a class of 100 students how many of you consult your horoscope daily foreign be like me saying how many of you believe in Jesus everywhere he says I thought so and I said what did you think I thought everybody did that I said my hand wasn’t in the air you stand out in a moment like that folks because they all do I’m not saying they were serious about it there
might be some in here that take it as a joke stop taking it as a joke it’s not good for your soul it’s dabbling in darkness here’s one more Wicca if you’ve heard of goddesses witchcraft it’s very present and very powerful and the devil is not pleased in any way when he’s exposed you say well there’s only one Devil he’s got a ton of bad demons that do what he wants okay so all that to say the occult abounds I could go on and on and
on and make this a message about the occult and I don’t plan to do that I’ve never done that as I believe the greater as he is in you than he who is in the world I’m not spooked by that because I have the Holy Spirit living in me that says I got you bro you are mine so Luke describes seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Siva that we’re about to read the story of and they made a mistake that nearly cost them their
lives look on as I read it some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed they would say in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches I command you to come out that’s just this General group among them verse 14 are seven sons of Siva who was a Jewish Chief priest that’s way up in the religion of Judaism they were doing this and one day the evil spirit answered them they’re talking to
a man and a voice came out of that man the evil spirit answered them Jesus I know and Paul I know about but who are you and before they could answer anything look at how verse 16. Happens then the man who had an evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all they’re seven of them he gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding whoa don’t read on don’t read on what a sight Paul was a conduit through which
the Holy Spirit legitimately cured sick people and legitimately cast out evil spirits we just read about that and it’s true so perhaps wishing for a celebrity as I mentioned earlier prophet but certainly not a beating the nearly killed all seven the last we see of them is seven beaten bloodied naked sons of Siva running for their lives the Lord is faithful and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one second Thessalonians 3 3. Be of sober Spirit be on the alert for that your
adversary the devil it’s your adversary just like he’s mine my adversary prowl’s about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour but resist Satan firm in your faith Ephesians 6 is written for this subject not surprising this is in Ephesus right so if we had witnessed this frightful spectacle I just imagine what I would do I would run I don’t want to be anywhere near what if those seven part of something I can’t even get my head around and it’s going to happen to me
soon I don’t even know and I I would run and I know I would do everywhere I ran I would tell what I saw right so you can’t believe that I would probably tell people stay away from Ephesus there’s scary things going on over there I saw these guys and I would tell the story that’s exactly what Luke describes to wrap up this passage today when this became known what I just read what we just took in to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus they
were all seized with fear and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor that’s what you do when you encounter a fake that wants to kill you you Retreat quickly to the true one and cling to him like crazy that’s what that verse is telling us they were seized with fear in the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor many of those who believed now came out and openly confessed what they had done I used to dabble in it a
number who had practiced sorcery brought their Scrolls together and burned them publicly when they calculated the value of the Scrolls the total came to a fortune fifty thousand drachma a ton of money that and it’s and it’s filthy influence verse 20 is a beautiful statement in this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power all were seized with fear they were freaking out and the name of Jesus the true person of power was highly revered which is crying out to him which
is exalting him and lifting him up and I love Verse 18 a great that’s you have to read this a great spirit of repentance poured over the people that’s what moves you Luke 3 8 says Be bring forth fruit in keeping with your repentance well they brought it in Bounty verse Verse 18 and verse 19. They they vast numbers of people changed it up their priorities they do an about face I’m done with this that’s not that’s not something I should allow any room for in
my life and verse 20 tells us it wasn’t just localized this was this was something that spread widely the word of God and the truth of who he is and the power that he possesses to change someone’s life when I was in high school there was a song it changed my life by Andre Crouch remember him Jesus is the answer for the world today if I was him I’d be on the piano going for it above him there’s no other Jesus in the way is the
way and he goes on and it gets carried away and excited he says there’s there’s power in the name of Jesus there’s salvation in the name of Jesus there’s healing in the name of Jesus the Bible says demons tremble at the sound of that name My Sweet Rose is Sharon my Lily at the valley he goes on to say and it just you can you could tell I’ve read that a lot and sang it a lot and then join me Jesus is the answer for the
world today above him there’s no other because Jesus is the way amen he’s the way right he is the way people Ephesus is a lot like our world today really is and lots of people living in spiritual Darkness today and the bondage that comes with that just as they did in the day we read about and there’s tons of spiritual substitutes today just as there were in that day but Jesus Christ has the power to create the world and has the same power to change the
hearts and lives of people in the world so please go to the power source that’s pure and holy and wants to make you pure and holy amen tell people you know this truth you get out of that stuff that will that will lead to bondage and a beating and maybe death but turn them to the one that says you will know the truth and the truth will set you free those who have been set free by the sun are free in deed bow your heads with
me would you please this morning the Apostle Paul later wrote Things in Ephesus to Ephesus and he said this talking about power like we’ve talked about the evil kind of power and the good kind the god kind describing evil powers Paul warns for our struggle is not against flesh an
