In Acts 8, we encounter an enigmatic and sinister figure named Simon the Sorcerer. This mystic wielded influence over the people of Samaria from the least to the greatest because he bewitched them through sorcery. By definition, sorcery is "the use of power gained from the assistance or control of evil spirits, especially for divining." However, the people attributed Simon's power to God. Herein is the problem. Just as the people during ancient times considered things supernatural to be the power of God, people today, even Christians, make the same mistake, because not all things supernatural or all things spiritual are not Holy Spirit directed, because there is a counterfeit charisma. Not only was Simon dealing in demonic power he also confessed belief in Christ, got baptized, and traveled along with Philip the Evangelist...and the plot thickens. Welcome to the Revelation Revolution.
