Spiritual Darkness Overcome

Acts 13:8-12

But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 'You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.' Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord. (NIVUK)

On the island of Cyprus, Barnabas and Paul's east to west training-evangelistic tour was almost completed. In Paphos, they met spiritual opposition from Bar-Jesus, known as Elymas 'the sorcerer'. He was the governor's servant. But, the more this occultist spoke badly about the trainee missionaries the more his master, Sergius Paulus, wanted to hear what they had to say about God (Acts 13:6-7).
