Act 13:8 But Elymas the wise man--for that is the translation of his name [which he had given himself]--opposed them, seeking to keep the proconsul from accepting the faith. Act 13:9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit, looked steadily at [Elymas] Act 13:10 And said, You master in every form of deception and recklessness, unscrupulousness, and wickedness, you son of the devil, you enemy of everything that is upright and good, will you never stop perverting and making crooked the straight paths of the Lord and plotting against His saving purposes? [Hos. 14:9.] Act 13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, [so blind that you will be] unable to see the sun for a time. Instantly there fell upon him a mist and a darkness, and he groped about seeking persons who would lead him by the hand. Act 13:12 Then the proconsul believed (became a Christian) when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished and deeply touched at the teaching concerning the Lord and from Him. Paul was filled with the Holy Spirit and allowed the Holy Spirit to influence him; He spoke with power of the Spirit to Elymas. As Elymas heard the words of Paul they brought light to him and he believed and was saved. When you speak to people about the Lord, let your words be guided by the Spirit otherwise you are just speaking in the flesh. Learn how to step out in and follow the unction of the Holy Spirit.
