"Confronting the Counterfeit" (Acts 13:4-12) April 12, 2026

In Acts 13:4-12, the Holy Spirit sends Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey to the island of Cyprus. There, they encounter a man named Elymas — a false prophet who had attached himself to the Roman proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a spiritually curious man who wanted to hear the word of God. Elymas actively worked to turn Sergius Paulus away from the faith, standing as a spiritual counterfeit between a seeking soul and the truth.
Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, confronts Elymas directly — exposing and naming the deception at work. The result? Sergius Paulus believes. Not because of the miracle, but because of the teaching of God's word.
This passage reminds us that Spirit-led mission always faces resistance, that spiritual counterfeits are subtle and close — not obvious — and that the word of God carries the power to produce genuine, decisive faith in anyone who hears it.
