Light of the world...You stepped down into darkness...Opened my eyes, Let me see...Beauty that made this heart adore you...Hope of a life spent with you...Here I am to worship...Here I am to bow down...Here I am to say that you're my God...You're altogether lovely...Altogether worthy...Altogether wonderful to me...King of all days...So highly exalted...Glorious in heaven above...Humbly you came to the earth you created...All for love's sake became poor...

Jew casting out demon in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preached

Cant sleep. Its 2.31 am.
Wondering wondering wondering.
1-posses aspiration
2-posses spiritual exaltation, plus (1)
3-posses affection, plus bit (2)
If I have to draw a Venn diagram for 1,2,3...I think it will end up very distinct. in the sense that in the end it will be a set of 3 different group still even though the overlapping portion is very insignificant.

Just read... from Acts 19 . A Jew was trying to cast out demon in the demon-possessed man. The jew saod "In the name of Jesus, Paul preaches, I command you to come out." The demon-possessed man rebuked "Jesus I know, Paul I know, but you I do not know." In the end, the demon got out from the man and entered the Jew, and as a result the Jew got a beating by the demon. God, what is the implication that you are trying to tell me to what I was wondering. Faith. so how is it linked?

Perhaps are you trying to tell me, we can know the qualities of things or pple. but how well the qualities complement one really depends on how you place faith in the quality of that person? Even the demon is not afraid of the Jew cos he is lacking faith in Jesus. Though he cast out the demon in the name of Christ, but it is Paul who is the one who believed, and not the Jew himself. I guess so... by placing faith in the good quality of that person, that other good "outcomes" would then follow.
