How can you tell the difference between genuine spiritual power and a dangerous counterfeit? In this crucial continuation of his series, Pastor Garry D. Zeigler moves from the “what” of spiritual gifts to the essential “why”—the motive of love. Without a heart grounded in God’s love, even the most spectacular spiritual display is nothing more than a distracting noise.
Using the intense story of Simon the Sorcerer from Acts chapter 8, Pastor Zeigler provides a masterful case study on the gift of discerning of spirits. You will learn how an entire city was held captive by witchcraft and demonic influence until the true power of the Gospel brought freedom and joy. This message is a vital lesson on the importance of a pure heart, a warning against trying to purchase or control God’s power, and an encouragement to desire the gifts of the Spirit for the right reasons.
