#MorningDevotion Prison Break! Many stories have been told and movies made about people breaking from prison. To me the most captivating must have been prison break the series. This is the story of a man who gets himself arrested so that he can get into prison where his brother is then the two of them can break out. He has an elaborate and well worked out plan but as you know things dont always work out the way you plan them and I guess thats what makes the series so captivating because with every new development you are left hanging and you cant wait for the next episode to find out what will happen next. Acts 12:7, 8 ERV Suddenly an angel of the Lord was standing there, and the room was filled with light. The angel tapped Peter on the side and woke him up. The angel said, Hurry, get up! The chains fell off Peters hands. The angel said, Get dressed and put on your sandals. Peter did as he was told. Then the angel said, Put on your coat and follow me. Herod is out to persecute the church, he has already killed James by the sword and now he has Peter in prison under heavy guard. Jesus did tell us that in this world we shall be persecuted. The enemy is out fighting for the souls of men, yours and mine included and he will do all that he can to discourage and entrap you so as to keep you from all that God has in store for you. All he wants is to kill steal and destroy. Jn 10:10 Just like Peter, the enemy may have you in prison and bondage under heavy guard. There was a special team of 16 guards who were assigned to guard Peter. Keeping him in prison was not enough, he was chained in between two of them. Herod was not taking any chances, he wanted Peter under constant surveillance, but what he did not know, is there is nothing impossible with our God. What kind of prison has the enemy locked you in today? What kind of bondage has he placed you under? Does he have you under 24 hr surveillance? Fret not because there is nothing impossible with our God. The fact that he has you in bondage with so many guards watching over you means that he is afraid of you, he does not want you free because you are wrecking havoc to his kingdom. You are a powerful man/ woman of God, but he would rather lie to you that you are weak and useless that is why you are in bondage. He that the Son sets free is free indeed! God will send angels if he needs to just like He did for Peter. Even with the guards all around him, God was able to get Peter free. Remember the church was praying for Him. Prayer is our greatest weapon with which we break through every kind of bondage and prison the enemy has us in. Has the enemy bound you? Do not accept that as your lot in life, do not even begin to imagine that you are weak and useless and thats why the enemy has you bound. You are a powerful servant of God and thats why he wants to keep you in chains. Break free in prayer in Jesus name because he that the Son sets free is free indeed! John 8:36
