July 15 Devotion

Read Acts 16:16-40
A few thoughts to consider for this day:
·         Predicting the future is possible, but the spiritual beings that operate in this realm should not be dabbled or played with.
·         All spirits are subject to the name of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who came in the flesh.
·         Setting people free from the bondage of evil spirits is not always well received by industries built on their existence.  You may want to go back and read that statement again.
·         When you find yourself stripped, beaten, and thrown in prison for doing something good and godly to help others, simply pray and praise the Lord through song.  Others will take notice.  And God will come to your aid. Your persecutors can become believers in a matter of moments when the power and glory of God is revealed to them.
·         If you are set free by a wondrous turn of events, make sure it does not happen quietly.  Make sure all see and that God receives the glory for the victory. No accidents. The beatings and the freedom are part of his greater plan.  Will we praise and glorify Him in both circumstances?
