Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 11:
14 And Jesus was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
Jesus responded to their challenge.
16 Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from Heaven.
17 But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.
18 If satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by beelzebub.
19 And if I cast out demons by beelzebub, by whom do your sons (exorcists) cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 But if I cast out demons with the Finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
As we mature in Holiness, we should expect to do the same acts as Jesus did. Philip is a perfect example of walking in Holiness. He was not Philip the apostle, but Philip who was selected along with Stephen to serve the people.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 6:
3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and Wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;
4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,
6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
After the persecution of Stephen, the church scattered but the apostles remained in Jerusalem. Philip was one of those who left Jerusalem and went to Samaria:
In Acts chapter 8:
4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the Word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.
6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Both Stephen and Philip operated in the same power and authority as Jesus. Neither were of the original disciples. We should not underestimate the ability of The Holy Spirit to operate in us in the same power and authority as these two men. It is vital for us to embrace the ministry of The Holy Spirit Who resides in us and awaits the change and maturity in our mindset. We are to be fully led by The Holy Spirit rather than our mind.
We should not be timid when power and authority are manifested in our individual walks. Yes, we can expect challenges from those who are submitted to the adversary. We are not to be moved by their false accusations.
