* God wants to do something TO you so He can do things THROUGH you to bless others.

* You’re made to be a conduit, not a cul-de-sac.

* Back in Acts 9 Peter said to the paralytic, “Jesus heals you” - he saw himself as the conduit for Christ to do His work.

* Vs 11 - 12 - in Paul’s line of work everything he touched turned to gold.

* See Through:

* 1) When you do something great, SEE THROUGH to God doing it through you.

* This keeps you from pride.

* 2) When someone does something great, SEE THROUGH to God doing it through them.

* This keeps you from people worship.

* 3) When you do something bad, SEE THROUGH to the evil spirit you’ve come into agreement with.

* This keeps you battle ready.

* 4) When someone does something bad, SEE THROUGH to the evil spirit they’ve come into agreement with.

* This keeps you tender-hearted toward others.

* Vs 13-17 - WARNING! It’s not enough to just use Christ’s name.

* You have to live a life of surrender to Him.

* How many “Christian” business people have you dealt with who used the name but did you wrong?

* The result is they can’t walk in the power of the name.
