To magnify means to enlarge or make greater what you are focused on. It happened in Ephesus: "and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified". It came about when the cheaters who really didn't know God were operating in His name. They were trying to cast out demons and got soundly trounced by that enemy. (Acts 19:9-20)
On the other hand, "those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices". That is when the word of the Lord began "growing mightily and prevailing".
God wants the real deal. He blesses genuine repentant hearts that turn away from evil -even "look good" evil.
Lord, help us to serve You with sincere hearts. We want You and Your Name to be magnified.
