b'1 John 4:1\\xa0ESV / \\n\\nBeloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.\\n\\n\\n \\n"As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and us, crying out, \\u201cThese men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.\\u201d And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, \\u201cI command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.\\u201d And it came out that very hour.\\n\\nBut when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers. And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, \\u201cThese men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city. They advocate customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.\\u201d The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely. Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks."\\n \\n-Acts 16:16-24\\n\\n And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, "Ha What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are\\u2014the Holy One of God." But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.\\n\\n-Luke 4:33-35\\n\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/support'
