Acts 19:11-20 is an account of some of the things that happened while Paul was in the city of Ephesus. I believe that Luke, who wrote the book of Acts by direction of the Holy Spirit, put these things together the way he did so that we would see the connection between them. On one hand we have the power of God on display through the miracles being done through Paul. On the other we have an illustration of what can happen when we try to appropriate that power without the relationship that gives us the right to call upon it. The end result is that the Ephesian believers turned from their evil practices and burned their spell books in an open bonfire. There are principles here that we can apply to our own lives today.
