One day the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?"

- Acts 19:15


So I was reading Acts today and this verse struck me - hence leading me to this post (which is a good time-off from analyzing my chemistry anyway). Highlighting the verse and checking up on what others have typed in response to the highlighted verse, I saw one post which was titled 'Do the demons know your name?' - hence also the title of this post.

Sidetracking... I love how the Bible on the ipad is so convenient. I get to read about other peoples' responses to the selected verses I'm curious about/unsure of the context. This is just one of the many benefits of technology!

But anyway, so this verse - though in the playful context of what was happening in the preceding verses - is actually quite serious. How many of us can actually say with certainty that because of who I am, even the demons know who I am!

I am also reminded of Matthew 7:21-23:

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of my Father who is in heaven... Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!


Right now, I doubt the demons know my name.

Nevertheless, I shall continue to work towards the Lord knowing my name - cause anyway once He knows - logically speaking - they should know too right? :)


Just some thoughts..
