The story of Paul and Silas and their release from prison is also about fighting our battles. Paul and Silas chose not to fight with people, the system, their arresters and jailer, instead they decided to engage in a spiritual warfare through praise, prayer and worship to God. Their victory was manifested in the physical realm, prison doors opened and the jailer received salvation. "Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household. Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized. (Acts of the Apostles 16:25â€-‬26â€, ‬32â€-‬33 NLT). Friend, may be you need to change tact, realise that your battle(s) is/are not against that person or people, YOUR WARFARE IS SPIRITUAL and so are your weapons.
Lord, thank for you train my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Help me to realise that my WARFARE IS SPIRITUAL and to depend more on you.
