Deliverance through praise and worship

Deliverance through praise and worship

Posted on January 14, 2009

Memorise: “And 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” (Acts 16:26)

Read: Acts 16:25-34

Pastor E Adeboye

When Paul and Silas brought Heaven into their situation, there was an earthquake, after which closed doors were forced open. When Heaven comes on earth, every bondage is destroyed by the anointing that follows (Isaiah 10:27). In this prison, not only were Paul and Silas free from their bondage, all the other prisoners who were watching helplessly became beneficiaries.

Suddenly they were free in the prison yard. Do you know that whenever you praise and worship God qualitatively and Heaven comes into your apartment, some benefits will automatically go to your immediate neighbours? Some neighbours cannot explain certain mysterious healings, protection, deliverance and divine intervention they received: but it was because somebody brought down Heaven on earth. When Heaven comes to earth, the blessings go beyond the chief recipient.

“Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas” (Acts 16:29). Another interesting thing that takes place when Heaven comes on earth is that the tide turns. The captive becomes the captor. The prisoner becomes the warder. Afraid and trembling, the prison keeper surrendered to them realizing that these were no ordinary men.

If you can bring down Heaven through quality praise and worship, your oppressors will surrender to you. Your oppressor will be at your mercy from today because the tide has turned in Jesus’ Name.

When Heaven comes to earth, sinners will be fighting to get into the Kingdom of God. The prison keeper was earlier preached to but he dismissed it with a wave of the hand. But when Heaven came to earth, he was the one asking the steps to take to become a born again Christian. Evangelism becomes stressless when Heaven comes to earth.

 If you can worship God until His presence comes down, souls will see God’s glory on you and they will desire to have the Heaven you have. You don’t need to waste much time preaching. From today, before you go for evangelism, worship God and bring Heaven down.

 You will have fruitful evangelistic outreaches. After the salvation of the prison keeper, he began to nurse their wounds and serve them food. When Heaven comes to earth, the enemy becomes a servant. The oppressed becomes the respected. In the name of Jesus, those who demoted you will also promote you.

 Those who humiliated you will treat you as king. Some Christians want all their human enemies to die, but God wants some of them to become part of the Kingdom. To do this, bring down Heaven today.

Some are free men in the prison yard, while some are imprisoned in the free world. Bringing Heaven down sets both free.
