Ep. 496 Spiritual Warfare & Prayer

In this Monday Meeting episode the hosts (with Blake and Cornbread absent) pick up Acts chapter 13, unpacking what it means to be “sent out by the Holy Spirit.” They walk through Paul and Barnabas’ missionary start, synagogue-first evangelism, the confrontation with Elymas (Bar-Jesus) and the dramatic blinding that leads Sergius Paulus to believe. The conversation moves into theology and practice: distinctions in how the Holy Spirit spoke in the apostolic era versus today, the challenge of discerning prophetic voice, Paul’s name shift, and the broader theme of God reforming our desires to align with His will. Interwoven are personal testimonies and pastoral reflections — a host’s recent run-in with law enforcement and subsequent repentance, the conviction that grieving over sin can be evidence of the Spirit, and a powerful account of spiritual warfare and deliverance in a spouse’s recovery. They also discuss caution around modern prophetic claims and the practical role of Scripture in discernment.
