And when they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. He, having received [so strict a] charge, put them into the inner prison (the dungeon) and fastened their feet in the stocks. But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the [other] prisoners were listening to them, Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyone’s shackles were unfastened.” Acts 16:23-26 AMP
Paul and Silas were put in Jail for preaching of the gospel. They were in God’s perfect will yet persecutions came to them.
The bible says: “they prayed and sang praises unto the Lord.” Now the answer did not come when they prayed, but it manifested when they began to sing praises unto the Lord.
Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” Psalms 34:19 AMP
Now our deliverance from evil comes only from God Almighty who must be prayed to in combination with praise and worship as One that is having supernatural abilities and as The Supreme being. As we invest time to praise and worship God Almighty just like Paul and Silas.
Praise and worship brings into Manifestation the supernatural ability of God Almighty in display.
It’s time to take time in praise and worship unto the Lord as the Holy Spirit helped Paul and Silas to do.
Let’s pray together:
Heavenly Father I thank You for Your word. Help me by Your Spirit to praise and worship You rightly for answering my prayers and for who you are in Jesus Christ mighty name. Amen.
