A Message of Inspiration From the Author of Living Loved, November 23, 2025
Hey friends!
I was reading in Acts 16 about Paul and Silas being beaten and taken to prison and I’ve been thinking on this set of scripture lately. They were beaten, imprisoned and chained. Yet they began singing songs of praise to the Father. Soon there was a Mighty earthquake that broke them free. Yet they stayed. They witnessed to the guard, went to his house and shared Jesus with them and the guard and HIS WHOLE HOUSE was saved that day! And they were released rightfully by the magistrate; they didn’t escape.
Their praises friends!! Their praises caused a Mighty earthquake that released their chains and set them free!! I’m sensing some captives need to start praising! I’m sensing the Lord calling us to praise Him in our circumstances!! I’m hearing the Lord calling for people of praise to rise up!! I’m sensing people will begin to be set free and their testimonies will change the lives of many and whole houses will come to Christ because of their testimony!
Friends the Lord calls us to enter with praise and thanksgiving! Friends!! Let’s praise him when things are good. Let’s praise him when things are tough!! He is worthy of all honor and praise!! Let’s offer up our thanksgiving and praise!! Let’s worship until the chains fall off!! Captives be free!!! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!! You are so loved friends, live LOVED!!
