Intro
Here we see Paul just being human, this woman who was possessed by a demon, was saying true things, good things.
She followed them around for days until Paul was so irritated that he turns around and casts the demon out.
Of course now this woman has no special abilities for fortune telling because the evil spirit is gone,but she is free now to live her life.
Praise God.
Paul and Silas did a good thing.
They helped set this woman free.
Surely God would reward them correct?
Surely a time of rest and peace was coming.
Because when you do good God gives you good things.
Right?
Sometimes when we step out with God, our world seems to fall apart.
You see the demon was gone, but so was the satanic power.
She was no use to her evil employers any more.
she could no longer make them money.
So they had Paul and Silas beat, and thrown in prison.
They did good and ended up in a hole, chained to a wall.
Sometimes that happens to us doesn’t it.
We try to good. to walk in faith but then life gets harder.
That’s crazy.
To reach the world we simply need lift Jesus Up
So Paul and Silas are considerably worse off then they were 24hrs earlier.
All for doing the will of God.
But notice instead of complaining or fighting they lift Jesus up.
They begin to worship.
As they worship God, the Holy Spirit came and shook the ground they were on and open the doors and chains for them.
But note they didn’t run.
WHy would they run when the prison doors are opened for them?
Because their freedom was not based on a lock and hinge.
They were help captive by the power of God and because that they were able to remain after the miracle and profess Christ to the jailer and the fellow prisoners.
So often when we find ourselves in a place of pain or hardship we complain, but if we would look to Jesus and praise him then the world would see Christ.
AS they lifted Jesus high, Christ drew people to Himself.
Let us praise God in the fire so that others may know Jesus!
This week when you and I face trials of all kinds let us rejoice in Jesus!
Let us lift His name high! and Lets see what Jesus does.
