Josh
Devote yourself to, Prayer - being watchful - thankful.
Personal
Set a watchman/lookout
Pray for us too… I like what Paul and Timothy ask that the prayer should be.
Paul imprisioned is asking the church to pray - not so much for release but for freedom of the message.
The Gospel message may place you in a place that you don’t want to be or don’t like.
Paul is in a place because of the Gospel.
He is in prison because of the call and message that he had been proclaiming.
What should we do in those times?
Ask for Help
Paul is reaching out to those around him for help.
But it is important that we learn from how he does this.
He is not there posting on his twitter account - woe is me or bad mouthing the people or the reason that he is there.
His priority in reaching out is not even that he would be released really but rather the message would not be hindered or stopped.
Praise God
Flogged beaten thrown into the inner cell, into the dark and dangerous place.
Look at the response of Paul and Silas.
Midnight they are praying and singing.
They are turning their eyes to the mountain where their help is coming from.
Praise - Worship - Honour toward God opens doors.
Suddenly
I love the way God works.
Suddenly.
Suddenly prision doors open.
Paul and Silas singing and praising God in a dark place at a dark time.
“i’ve seen you move, you move the mountains, and I believe, I’ll see you do it again, you made a way, where there was no way, and I believe that I will see you do it again.”
Then sings my soul...
It does not matter what our physical position is it is our spiritual condition that is important, they were earthly prisoners but heavenly free.
Suddenly change.
The day of pentecost is a great example of this.
The disciples in the upper room for about 10days ish when the wind changed.
Prayers for open doors.
Open doors - Mystery of the Gospel
Open doors to the mystery of the gospel.
The Gospel message is one that includes all.
It is open to all who open their hearts to the message.
Mystery - Gentiles into the kingdom
Open Doors Closed Doors
Every place requires wisdom to know what to open and what to close.
what to bind and what to loose.
Pray that the doors will be open to the Gospel,
