A child that
hasn’t arrived home when it should have.
The need for
studying for a test on the morrow.
Just have to see
the ending of a movie on TV.
How to explain a
wrong or failing, strategy.
The clock
declares it is bedtime for it is midnight.
My body is crying out for rest and desires to be in bed.
My brothers faced
the midnight hour having been beaten and in chains and in prison…
“The crowd joined
in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be
stripped and beaten with rods. After
they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer
was commanded to guard them carefully.
When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and
fastened their feet in the stocks”.
“But about
midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and
the prisoners were listening to them; and suddenly there came a great
earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and
immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.…
There are times
when the midnight hour is the hour of deliverance for you.
A time when doors
are to be opened and chains to be removed.
If (when) you
have your own “Prison experience” it is time to take Paul and Silas’ example to
heart.
At midnight be
found praying and singing hymns of praise to God, until all the doors are open
and everyone’s chains are unfastened.
This is important for it is seldom that there are no other people
involved in your issues.
Remember each
midnight is another opportunity to find release for yourself and others suffering
the prison experience. The keys to the locked doors are found in praying and
singing praise to GOD.
1 Corinthians
14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the
understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the
understanding also.
