In Acts 16:16-34 Paul and Silas was in prison for casting the devil out of a young girl. They were beaten and their feet were locked in chains. Verse 25 says that at midnight Paul and Silas prayed & sang praises unto God and the prisoners heard them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and every one’s bands were loosed.

Look at the power of prayer and praise! They was not going by their feelings, they were hurting from the beating. But they knew God and was praising Him not matter what the situation was, we can learn a lesson from this. They were praising God because they loved Him, what a novel idea. Praise is powerful it can unlock your prison for you, what is your prison? THINK ABOUT IT!
