The Sons of Sceva ACTS CHAPTER 19
13Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I bind you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.” 14Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but you, who are you?” 16Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house, naked and wounded.17This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.

Take a lesson from this.
It is like wearing a fake badge. Their's no authority in it. It;s fake phony, as a child's gamely lamely toy.
It says they were itinerant meaning wanderers.
Not committed to the Lord Jesus Christ, neither knowing him as personal savior having no roots in him just using his name.
The 7 of them were attacked by one man who it says had unclean evil spirits in him that he subdued all and wounded them.
The evil spirit spoke as it says, that he knows who Jesus was, and Paul, but over took them all because he knew they had no real authority, neither were committed, devoted, nor growing in him just as the word itinerant means so were they in their spirit wanderers.
This could happen anytime. The devil or lets say evil could over power you in lusts, temptations, because he knows your head games and who you really are, neither here or there, not walking and living in the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, lack of Love and self control the entire tree of the Holy Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Your easy prey, if you don't pray, and only play church.
You have no authority.
