Singing the Victory Songs

Have a read of this in Acts 16:16ff Paul and Silas find them selves in a dark place. In a Roman jail in chains after having been stripped and beaten. It's about midnight - it can't get much darker than this for a follower of Jesus.....

They then do an extraordinary thing: They start singing & praying

I wonder what songs they would have sang?

What prayers they would have prayed?

Songs and Prayers of Victory - Reminding themselves of Who God is &

Who they were!!

In that Dark place - they armoured up & stood firm in their faith - and the power of God brought about more victory - freedom came to them - but even greater, salvation came to the jailer. See the outcomes God brings about as his people stand firm and sing songs and pray prayers of victory.

What songs will you be singing this week?

What prayers will you pray this week?

Though the world is often a dark place - A great light has come

- The SON has risen!!

- Death Sin and the Enemy defeated

What hope we have - and now we begin to turn our attention on the events after Easter as we look toward the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Have a read through Luke 24 this week

and then follow through the events of the first few chapters of Acts

The Story of Easter doesn't finish at the empty tomb.......

It leads us on to the disciples, the church and your and my role... have a read and reflect this week.
