It’s all in Who you know. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? Acts 19:15 Have you ever heard that expression - It’s all in who you know. Perhaps you applied for a job and didn’t get it. Later you find out that the person that got it was best friends with the boss. It’s happened to me before. I applied for a promotion at work once and didn’t get it. The girl who did get it was really good friends with the Human Resources person. It was in who she knew. Just as that may be true in the natural, it is more true in the Spiritual. It is all in Who you know. Do you know Jesus? The above scripture is a story about some men trying to go forth and cast out demons in their own power and in their own name. No doubt that had seen the apostles casting out demons in the name of Jesus. Then they decided they could on their own. However, the demons knew Jesus and the power of Jesus; but the demons didn’t know them. I Timothy 4:1 "You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!" When you know, really know, and serve Jesus there is power in His name. I may not have gotten the job that I mentioned above but two months later I had a better job making almost exactly twice as much as money. So it turned out to be all in WHO I knew! Whatever you do and where ever you go, always go in the Name of Jesus! John 14:13&14 says "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."
