“And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
Acts 16:33-34 KJV
Paul and Silas had been soundly thrashed and put into stocks in prison by the jailor who had been put in charge of their captivity. But now, after rejoicing & worshipping the Almighty at their weakest moment, an earthquake shook the place and God Himself set them free as the chains broke and fell from Paul & Silas! The jailor, about to kill himself, was brought back from the brink of death, as the Gospel was given to him. When the jailor and his family were baptised in the middle of the night, they rejoiced, believing in God.
What a moment for Paul & Silas to worship God!
What a moment to be set free from bondage in worship!
What a moment to give the Gospel to your enemy!
What a moment to baptise!
What a moment to have your enemy rejoice with you!
Only because Jesus has spoiled all principalities and powers and made an open shame of them through the Cross and defeated the devil yet again. Calls for rejoicing, don’t you think?! It’s always the power of the love of Jesus released through the Body of Christ, that can vanquish the enemy. Hallelujah to the Lamb!
