📖 "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them."

In Acts of Apostles 16:16-40, Paul casted out familiar spirit from a woman who was possessed with a spirit of divination. Through this spirit in her, her masters made a lot of money. But Paul had enough of the spirit and commanded in the name of Jesus Christ for it to come out of her, and it did. Paul did righteously before God, but the people saw it evil. But her masters saw that they had lost their money making machine/cash cow and said these men, being Jews, are troubling our city, teach customs that are not lawful for us to receive, and they had them beaten and cast them into prison, put them in the inner prison, and made their feet fasten in the stocks. Paul used the authority that God has given to him and set someone free, someone was made different, someone was delivered. It was great! But even though something is great for one person it is usually a problem for someone else. Some of us are suffering today because of our kindness to people or righteousness. I prophesy as you praise God today, every un-righteous acts against you shall be judged in Jesus Mighty Name.

Bible said but at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises. Midnights are the darkest of times, midnights are lonely places, midnights are the moments of not seeing clearly because of all the darkness that surrounds you, midnights are the places where you feel stuck, midnights are the places where you feel trapped, midnights are the places where things are scary, midnights are the places where you truly wish you weren't. Midnights are the times where your kids are going astray. Midnights are the times where your health is deteriorating. Midnights are the times you feel lost and without direction. Midnights are the darkest times before transitioning over to the morning. Bible said Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning!. I prophesy, may the midnight transit today that your morning joy will come in Jesus Name.

The jailer did not only put Paul and Silas into prison but into inner prison. An inner prison is a place of complete limitation. It is a place where if your not helped, there is no how you can come out. And instead of crying, instead of complaining, instead of praying for deliverance, Paul and Silas decided to do something different. They praised God. They shouted unto God with the voice of triumph. They did not praise God to be delivered, but just praised God.

Again, Bible said while they, were praising God, other prisoners were listening. There is difference between hearing and listening. (Hearing is the act of perceiving sound and receiving sound waves or vibrations through your ear. Listening is the act of hearing a sound and understanding what you hear. Listening requires concentration so that your brain processes meaning from words and sentences. Hearing simply happens). When you listen rather than hear something you are intently focused. Why, because in these conditions who would be crazy enough to be singing. Let me tell you that there are people around you, circumstances, situations, limitations, prisons, and people around you that need to be listening to your praise. I prophesy, whatever and whoever they are, they will listen and will let you go today in Jesus Name.

Bible said as Paul and Silas began to sing. There was an earthquake (a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movement within the earth crust or volcanic action) the foundation of the prison was shaken, all the doors opened, every man chain loosed, the jailer wanted to kill himself but later gave his life to Jesus Christ. Table was prepared for them, their wounds were treated. The magistrate sent sergeant to ask that Paul and Silas should be allowed to go, they were escorted royally out of the prison. I prophesy, praises will give you all the above-mentioned benefits in Jesus Mighty Name. (When Praises Goes Up, Miracles Comes Down). Congratulations
