Acts 16:25,26 -And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God. And the prisoners heard them. And 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 bands were loosed.
(Some bad things concerning midnight…death, terminal diagnosis, financial losses,
But the good thing I like about Midnight is: (*It’s gone in 60 seconds).
In 1 minute it's over. *itll be over in a minute!
In 60 seconds you can go from pain to praise....from sick to well... from darkness to light, from lost to found, from weeping to rejoicing. I wanna let someone know that It dont take God long to bless you. It don't take God long to heal. It don't take God long to deliver.
For his anger endureth but for a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, BUT my God, joy cometh in the morning....Somebody ought to praise God today like you believe the Word of God, and you know that what youre going through right now is just a temporary inconvenience. I want to encourage you that *itll be over in a minute
The Bib;le confirms that Many are the afflictions of the righteous: BUT the Lord delivereth him out of them all......* im coming out! *"I may be crying right now, but just give me a minute"..60 seconds
*I don't know what you're going thru, but whatever it is, It’ll be over in a minute!
(Preach the text)
Paul and Silas in prison, beaten and bloody. In jail through no fault of their own, they prayed and sang praises. You may not be able to control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond to it. But Ive decided im gonna do as the psalmist David said, and im going to bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth!
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 bands were loosed.
When you praise God, He will shake the very foundation loose of whats trying to hold you. ... Theres a reason You had to be shaken.... Had to go through what you had to go through...... So you could learn who God is! If you never been sick, how can you know him as a healer...if you never had a habit, how can you know him as a deliverer..never had a bill due, how can you know him as a way maker! It took going to jail!...It took being beaten bloody and bound, held captive... It took a midnight but not just for you only, but so others can know Him too! How do I know I was delivered? Cause I'm still here!
"Do yourself no harm, we're still here." After all you witnessed. After all you've been through.. I hear the Holy Ghost saying do yourself no harm.. Don't give up.. Don't throw in the towel.. Don't quit cause you're still here! The winds may blow and the storms may rise, but if you hold on just a little while longer..God will, God will, God will make it alright. If you just hold on..hold on...It'll be over in a minute
