Whenever the power of God is released by Jesus as He baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit the overflow and confirmation is speaking, praising and worshipping in the language of heaven and of angels. It is also in this new language that prayer has power to unhinge the enemies of the Kingdom of heaven. The 12 who were Baptized in the Holy Spirit in Acts 19, were engaged with a new kind of professor and new kind of school. The school of the Holy Spirit cannot be imitated without the student belonging to Jesus. Even the demons know this and have no regard for those who invoke Jesus' name wthout the authority of the Holy Spirit. Then the power of God sends the light of heaven into each person's darkness, exposing lies and deceipt that can even enslaves believers. So they gather their books of magic, darkness and idolatry and burn them. The first enemy: the town silversmiths who create idols. The second enemy, those who worship a false god. The third enemy: a spirit of confusion and the devil. The Lord demonstrates His love and final authority by miacles, signs and wonders... healing and delivering the sick, possessed and infirmed and creates from them a missionary force that reaches all of asia.
