Dealing With The Pulpit Magician & Sorcerer

MODERN PULPIT MAGICIANS & SORCERERS MUST BE DEALT WITH.

In Acts 8, we meet a man named Simon Magus (aka: Magician) who, by spiritual seduction and magic, sought to seduce the inhabitants of Samaria into following him. He witnessed the power of God through Peter and John as they laid their hands on believers who received the Holy Ghost. He thought it was another trick which could be purchased. Seeing that his salvation was not authentic, Peter rebuked Simon and sounded the alarm that he was not aligned with gospel truth.

In Acts 13:8 we are introduced to a man named Elymas aka: "sorcerer" who was stricken with blindness because he sought to use his spiritual influence and deception to continue his control of the leadership of Cyprus, specifically Sergius Paulus. Elymas was stricken because he opposed the righteous ministry of Paul and Barnabas and rejected the power of God through them and their message.

These magicians, sorcerers and seducers had only one goal in mind. Self exaltation. They, like the devil that possessed them, wanted worship and wanted to lead the children of God or be known as a sage.

Church leaders dealt with them by spiritual rebuke and further through disassociation to make it clear that these practices, directly imported from the apostasy of Egypt and Canaan, would not be tolerated in the Kingdom of Christ.

We should still have that message today.

Blessed!
