In Acts we read Paul's encounter with a girl who prophesies by a spirit. Read her story.
In the books of Acts, we read of a girl who has a spirit of divination and who follows Paul around shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God who have come to show us the way of salvation," until he commands the spirit to come out of her. The Prophetess is the girl's story--the back-story to the Biblical account. Read how she became what the ancients called a "Phythoness" (the word the New Testament uses to describe her). Drusilla, from a prosperous home fallen on bad times, is sold to pay her family’s debts. Her life as a slave, however, takes on an astonishing twist when her master arranges for her to go to Delphi to receive the gift of prophecy. Back in Philippi, she begins her career as a prophetess who can foretell the future, making her master, a violent and brutal man, wealthy. Things begin to change, however, when a group of itinerate Jewish religious teachers show up and an old friend of the family, Lydia of Thyatira, is converted to their faith. Drusilla finds herself in the center of a conflict that involves religion and the supernatural.
