There
are amazing stories in the bible which actually happened in the
natural. In the book of Acts there are two different incidents when God
opened the prison doors to release His people. In the book of Acts
chapter five, there were many signs and wonders performed through the
hands of the apostles. The sick were healed, demons were cast out and
people even received healing through Peter's shadow. There was a great
revival and multitudes accepted the Lord. The high priest and religious
leaders put the apostles in prison but the angel of the Lord went to
them and released them saying: "Go, stand in the temple courts, "and
tell the people all about this new life."
In
the book of Acts chapter sixteen Paul and Silas cast a demon out of a
lady who was a fortune teller. She was following them and continually
mocking them when Paul finally turned around and called the demonic
spirit out in the name of Jesus. Her masters were angry and called the
magistrates because she was delivered and they would now lose their
income. They beat them with rods, shackled them and put them in prison.
At midnight as Paul and Silas were praying and worshiping there was a
great earthquake, and their shackles were loosed. The jail keeper fell
down before them trembling and asked "what must I do to be saved? They
replied, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you
and your household." The next day the keeper of the prison said to Paul,
"The magistrates have said to let you go: now therefore depart, and go
in peace".
We
serve a supernatural God who is still releasing people today. You may
not be in an actual prison but some of you are imprisoned in your
situations. There are things that are holding you captive and you do not
know how to break out of them. You may be imprisoned in sickness,
financial issues, family situations, or your mind may be imprisoned in
fear, and you feel that there is no way of escape. The Lord wants to
release you now.
The
Lord says, I have come to release you from your prison. Allow Me to set
you free from the prison of fear that is tormenting your mind, deliver
you from the prison of addictions that you have been battling, and set
you free from the hidden sins that are distressing you. Allow Me to
break those chains that have held you captive. Allow Me to remove those
shackles that have kept you bound. You no longer have to live with the
shame and the hidden agendas that you have kept in secret. I am
releasing you from the strongholds that have led your life in disarray
for so long. I have come to set the captives free.
Allow
me to open up the prison doors of your mind where you have thoughts of
confusion that are holding you in bondage. Allow Me to cleanse and
restore your way of thinking so that you will no longer have to live
with thoughts of revenge, anger and unforgiveness. As you release
others, you will be released. Do not harbor bitterness in your heart as
this will also keep you imprisoned. Allow Me to release you of every
hindrance and every stronghold in your life. I will break every chain
that is imprisoning you and the anchors that are keeping you from
succeeding. Allow Me to open the prison doors and bring you into the
abundant life that is available to you says the Lord.
John 8:36
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Acts 5:18-20
They
laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.
19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought
them out, and said, "Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people
all the words of this life."
Acts 16: 23 -26
And
when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison,
commanding the jailer to keep them securely. Having received such a
charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the
stocks. But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns
to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a
great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and
immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were
loosed.
