Wambui's Reflections: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WILL AND SKILL

By Wambui | image courtesy: Nathan Jamail

The difference between will and skill is found in Acts 19: 11-16

Verses 14 we see the Seven Sons of Sceva and a Jewish chief priest were doing this.

V 15

“One day the evil spirit answered them, Paul we know, Jesus we know about, but who are you? Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding”

God was working unusual miracles at the hands of Paul. So that even a handkerchief could cure sickness.

Lesson

There are some people who wanted the same power, but had not done the same work.

So the Seven Sons of Sceva go over to this man that had demons and said - “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”

How are you going to have a secondhand anointing with a firsthand devil?

Listen to me, do not play with demons if you don’t have any power! If you do not have any Authority! Do not try and cast out nothing. Sit yourself down and take a back seat.

You are better off calling for our grandmothers who have the anointing, who sit there and are full of fire, who have the anointing. It is never the flashy people with big words. It is the ones who are not so concerned about makeup, but have the gift to pray and bind devils.You need somebody that has got some power.

It was very interesting how these demons reacted to the Seven Sons of Sceva..... these demons said....”hold on ....now Paul we know and Jesus we know, who are you? The result is that they were beaten so badly they left the house naked and bleeding.

Lessons

A.) Prophetically God is saying in this season I am exposing everybody that does not have real power!

B.) If you have been playing...I (God) am about to expose you. Because your church clothes can not save you, your gift can not save you, your talent can not cast out a demon, only a real relationship with the risen Jesus Christ can save you!

And you better know how accurately to throw that stone, or you are going to get bashed in the head and run out naked and bleeding.

C.) Know the difference between having the will and skill. You can have the will to do something, but not have the skill to do it.

D.) When you do not have a personal relationship with God, when you have not made any investments or deposits in your spiritual walk... how can you expect to withdraw?

You cannot go to the bank and write a cheque of withdrawal from an account you do not have, or one that you have never made deposits.

E.) Stop expecting to have power when you have not invested in your relationship with the Holy Spirit!
