Verse 25

Gallery 2 Comments

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. via Acts 16 KJV – Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, – Bible Gateway.

What can we apply from verse 25?

It was midnight.

What is midnight?
First, I think DARK.
Life experiences from time to time are dark.
What else?
Mid-way through.
I like that! At midnight we are mid-way through. We have come a ways and we have a ways to go BUT we are going through.  That in and of itself is worthy of some praise. :)

If you read the surrounding Text of 25 you will see that Paul and Silas are in prison. Not just any prison. The darkest of darkest prisons.  Let your sanctified imagination paint that picture for you – smells, creatures, etc. etc.

And what were Paul and Silas doing?

Praising!

And who was listening?

Others!

What’s the message?

You got it! Praise in the dark and others will see the LIGHT!!

Love to you my Dear Friends!

ABBA, thank You for Dear Friends, many I have not met face to face, in JESUS name I speak peace into their dark places. Your peace, Your comfort, Your discernment and much to their advantage the will and ability from You to give You praise in the DARK so others will see the LIGHT. And not just for them, ABBA, but me too. Me too. We come bringing our sick and afflicted asking You to heal them.  And giving You much praise that Noah is on his way to recovery! Thank You LORD Thank You! And for others, particularly the rebellious and oblivious, please have mercy, ABBA. Give them grace and space and the will to repent for JESUS sake.  Bless and protect Israel, subdue their enemies, I pray. Amen and amen.

a quick report.

Sheila’s surgery went very well yesterday. We are waiting for results on lymph node removal and the doctor believes he got good margins with the mass and tissue he removed. Last evening she was waking up in SICU and her vitals looked very good.  Thank you for your prayers and please continue for recovery for Sheila.  We believe we are seeing a miracle unfold before our very eyes.  Again, thank you for your prayers; so glad you are a part of this miracle.

So Tell Me (well, you don’t really have to)

have  you recently had a conversation with JESUS wherein You said to Him ‘Thank You for who You are growing me to be’? Have you thanked Him lately for the growth you have seen in yourself? Have you thanked Him that when the plug on that blow dryer cord you were curling up landed square on the bone of the inside of your ankle with a thud, and the only words in your mind and mouth were, ‘oh, that hurts!”. Have you thanked Him lately that you know in your heart of hearts and throughout every corner of your grey matter that He is responsible for every smidgen of right thoughts and actions you demonstrate? And that you are delighted with Him; and grateful to be His Workmanship?

Yes? Good. Keep to it. You are on the right path.

No? :(  Then I have to ask that you may ask yourself: why not?

It’s been a pleasant and pleasing day and I have You, ABBA, to thank for it. Thank You. Thank You.  Reminds me of that hymn: To GOD Be the Glory – I owe it all to You.  And I do.  We all do, every dear soul who comes here to read and to pray, we owe You our applause, praise, gratitude, worship for every work You have done in us. Thank you. And thank You that You are not stopping now. That we can expect You to keep it up. Thank You.  And, JESUS, we come now with our sick and afflicted, asking that You heal them; and with those we love who are dead in trespasses and sins asking that You work with them and get them to the place that they will say YES to You for Eternal Life.  Amen and               .
