They Want the Power, Not the Cross: Simon the Sorcerer Spirit in the Church

The same manipulative spirit that tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit in Acts 8 is alive in the modern church.

Simon the Sorcerer didn’t want holiness—he wanted power, influence, and recognition. And many today are doing the same. They chase platforms, not purity. They use other people’s anointing to build their name, not God’s Kingdom.

In this bold message, we expose the Simon spirit operating in ministries, false teachers, clout-chasers, and manipulators who pretend to honor men of God—but only want their platform.

📖 Scripture Reference: Acts 8:18–21 (NASB 1995)
