......vs. 25About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the other prisoners were listening to them.Suddenly, there was such a violent earthquake that the foundation of the prison were shaken.At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose...........
In their midnight hour, Paul and Silas sang praises to God!Instead of focusing on their situation, they focused on God!And what happened......God delivered them; He captured the attention of the jailers and the other inmates, and brought freedom and salvation to their lives.Paul and Silas' lives were changed forever!They knew that there was NOTHING that God couldn't do and NOTHING that He could not deliver them from!Don't wait until it's your darkest hour to begin ministering to the Lord.Begin this moment, this hour, this day!
How do we minister to God???
Talk to Him---anything that builds up, glorifies, magnifies, and exalts God!
Tell Him that you love Him!
Tell Him how grateful you are for all that He's done for you!
Tell Him how thankful you are for the gifts that He's given you!
Tell Him how awesome He is!
Tell Him how grateful you are for Who He is in your life!
Speak the Word back to Him!
Tell Him how thankful you are that He is your Healer, Deliver, Strength........
When we worship and minister to God:
It brings spiritual freedom to our lives!
God "shows up" ready to help us!
The power of God changes our lives, our situations and our circumstances!
Strongholds are broken!
Our problems become "smaller" and our God becomes "BIGGER" !
Suddenly's happen!
We break out of our "prisons" and out of the "bondages" in our lives!
Focus your attention on God; the One who can and will deliver you!He is the Lord Most High and the great King over all the earth!
