Welcome to Politics by Faith, brought you by the Patriot Gold Group.

I want to talk about Acts 19, this section here that I must admit, I've never read before.

I don't know how, I thought I've read all of Acts.

I must have skipped this part somehow, but I read it.

It was captivated, of course.

Let me read this section. There's three parts. We'll start in verse 11. Now, God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul. He's in Ephesus at the time. So that even handkerchiefs or

aprons were brought from his body to the sick.

And the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

So unusual miracles is translated,

miracles not of the ordinary kind.

So it was indeed bizarre that God was working miracles through the sweat

rags or the aprons of Paul the tentmaker and just people who touched them were healed.

And the Bible admits that this is unusual. This is not how it normally works.

Now apparently the people of Ephesus, not apparently. It's fact Now, apparently the people of Ephesus.

Not apparently.

It's factually true that the people of Ephesus were all into superstition and sorcery and all this type of stuff.

So this spoke to those people.

Oh, here's a magical item.

And it works.

Now, notice it says,

God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul.

It doesn't say that Paul did these miracles.
