Devotion: No Prison Can Hold the Word of God

 God is going to accelerate your dreams!!!!!!!!

Daily Bible Verse

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. ~Romans 5:19

Daily Inspiration

Christ’s crucifixion is the perfect example of obedience to God. Death on a rugged cross was not an enjoyable experience for Him, yet the outcome allowed us the opportunity for salvation. God asks u to complete countless works in His name. Often, they do not feel enjoyable, yet we understand the result of our obedience is far above our comprehension. We trust that any ordeal we fae will have the best outcome regarding God’s plan for the world.

Daily Prayer

Dear God, we will trust? You when You ask us to complete works in Your name. Even though the tasks appear challenging, we have faith in Your plan and continue to live our lives according to Your will. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer is powerful!!!!!!!!

No Prison Can Hold the Word of God

By David Jacobs

No Prison Can Hold the Word of God: All people thirst to know the Lord, not just fellow Christians. They can appear in the highest and lowest of places. ~Acts 16:27-34

I used to tutor at a prison in my home city, teaching inmates general education courses in math, history, English, and computers. Contrary to what I thought, most of the inmates were very pleasant, but they had obviously made a mistake at some point in their lives. Some inmates, however, were less pleasant, placing the harsh realities of prison life in view. I was shocked at how thirty the inmates in the program were for education. They became even more interested and yearned for more lessons when they found out that I was a theology student. God’s word will not be denied. It will find its way everywhere.

Paul and Silas were no strangers to prison, unfortunately for them. They had been preaching about the life of Jesus when they met a soothsayer, possessed by a spirit but very profitable for her masters. Paul summoned the spirit out of her, costing her masters money so they went to the magistrates asking for Paul and Silas to be jailed.

Now in jail after receiving many lashings, Paul and Silas pray in their cell. There was a great earthquake, opening the jail cells. When the guard sees the open cells, he takes his sword to commit suicide. Luckily for him, prisoners are still in their cells. His act of kindness and overall demeanor must have made an impact on the jail guard, for he lets them go and asks Paul and Silas how to be saved. Soon after, he is baptized and they celebrate the life of Christ, rejoicing in his name.

Prayer

There are no walls, bars, or mountains that can stop the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God! Amen!

God is my Hero!!!!!!

When You Feel Ashamed

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. ~Mark 13:13
