Paul in Prison

In Acts 16 a slave girl is described as has having the spirit of divination, a fortune teller, and she proves her skill by identifing Paul and his group as “The Servents of the Most High God.” The spirit that gave her that power had to leave her when she accepted Christ. It made me wonder if there are still people who are possessed and given special skills. Our group felt that any spirit, other than the Holy Spririt, is evil.


Interesting to note that it is, or was, possible to know the future; is it just what’s likely to happen or are our lives already scripted?


We also talked about a system that allowed Paul, a citizen, to be imprisoned and beaten without a trial; while I can't speak for our group, I think we are there again - January 6th.
