Preaching
Acts 20:20 [And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [unto you], but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
Preaching God's Word is a very powerful weapon to drive out the enemy from our midst. Now it's not only Christians who are out there preaching. Many are preaching all kinds of things. In our day we hear of other faiths holding crusades preaching and also winning converts to their faiths. I cannot forget one video I saw of some satanists calling Jesus a demon. Now that's how far the enemy has gone in advancing his demonic gospel everywhere. It's in our time that men are advocating for all sorts of vices on our pulpits a thing which couldn't be entertained in the disciples day.
In our theme scripture Paul was talking to the elders of Ephesus before leaving for Jerusalem how he had preached the Word to them daily for the three years he had been with them. He saw miracles not a few in Ephesus. So it means God's power is released when men preach the Word.
Demons leave, men reject charms and a double standard life and turn to the one true God. If Christians are truly hearing God's word, then their lives should be transformed to the very image of Christ. If they aren't then someone is listening to a false gospel. Someone might be mixing the Word with ideas of men.
Let's stick to the Word. It carries enough power to transform lives.
