  2. Acts 13:6-9 6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him 10 and said,

  3. Acts 13:10-11 "You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord? 11 "Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time." And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.

  4. Acts 13:12-13 12 Then the proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord. 13 Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

  5. Luke 9:23 “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”

  6. He must deny himself… The verb “deny” means “to speak against, to disavowal, to neglect or to refuse.” Ultimately, it means to contradict, literally to contradict yourself.

  7. He must…take up his cross Taking up the cross is putting on the marker, the emblem, the symbol, the banner of Jesus Christ.

  8. He must…follow Me The verb “follow” means “to be on the same road, to accompany someone on the way.” It is a call to be a continual traveling companion with Jesus.
