The Philippian Jailer Saved
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, brothers and sisters, Power of Christ Daily. 16th of August, a Sunday, wonderful day. Mercies are new every morning for those who love God. And now as I begin to tell you today, you
will also know today also with the message today, if you take it to your heart what the word of God says, you will find real blessing and you will know mercies are truly new every morning.
00:27 The title today for Power of Christ daily is how to save your family. How to save your family. As soon as I was born again or came to the Lord and the Lord opened my eyes to see the spiritual world, to see there are
demons, there are devils attacking people.
00:46 Satan came to steal, kill and destroy and he gave us power. He suffered for us. He gave us his blood, gave me his blood.
00:52 I could use his blood, I could use his name. The power is there. And then how the demons and devils are destroying people’s lives, how our own fallen nature, how my own fallen nature, my heart and mind, which is
wicked, doing all kinds of things, how that can be renewed in Christ.
01:08 All that when my life changed, when I began to have peace straight away because of Jesus Christ, the peace then I’m concerned for my family. After a few days, after a few weeks of settling, I’m concerned now. Then
as my wife came to the Lord then after that, one of the biggest panic we will have is regard my son, My son, when he does something, then we will panic.
01:35 What will happen to him, you know, his actions, his thought patterns, what he was doing wrong. So we will panic, worry will come, we will cast out fear will come for fear for him. And we begin to cast out in Jesus
Christ’s name, we will begin to pray, calling for Jesus to save him and all that was going on.
01:54 Of course we prayed for our girls, but I think any parent with boys will know who have children got male children will know the challenges are different now. So this went on for some years, brothers and sisters,
until. Until I came to know this once and for all that really settled me once and for all saving your family.
02:19 I pray and pray even when I’m fasting. My wife and I were fasting for our children to pray that particularly my boy. So all this was going on and we never had rest when he came to this.
02:32 We so frightened for him, we became so frightened for him what’s going to happen and all that and what will happen to his soul, how he live, you know, where will he go when the body dies? If it goes on this way, the
devil will take him to hell and all that panic. So we begin to cast out all that, but never settle completely until this scripture. This scripture, once it came into our heart.
02:59 When I made a decision, when I became fully persuaded, when I commanded my heart and mind, commanded my heart and mind to believe the scripture once and for all, because it’s the truth. Once that became fully
persuaded in my heart, it became fully persuaded very quickly. As soon as I began to understand this, and my wife and I, we stood in agreement and said, from today, I thought, I’m deciding that this is the scripture
and this is what will save my children.
03:25 This is what saved the family. That’s it. And the peace came, the peace that my son will be all right, my son will be saved by Christ.
03:35 How he does it is his business. Like the farmer, you know, you put the seed. Remember I’ve spoken about.
03:40 He put the seed. And the farmer doesn’t know how the seed grows, how he sprouts. He only harvests.
03:45 That’s why I don’t need to know this one. Brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers. Oh, listen to this.
03:53 Because this I know some of you are going through what I’ve been going through before, what my wife was going through. I and my wife going through before all this. This will settle you once you begin to be fully
persuaded on this scripture.
04:05 Acts 16:31. Acts 16:31. So they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.
04:19 Next part of the verse is, you and your household. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household. He didn’t say, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and pray and pray and pray.
04:32 Panic and cast out the fear, cast out the worry. Cast out all this fast and pray fast. All this nothing.
04:38 He said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household. Now, this situation here, of course, the question then, earlier, when I knew the scripture, earlier days, I used to wonder
about household. Who is the household? If the.
04:53 If my children are staying in another house when they are married, what happens? Will they. Will they be also considered my household? Because me and my wife are saved, so will they be saved. All these things the
devil will bring, our heart will bring, mind will bring.
05:06 I’m sure some of you are facing this now. This scripture came about the incident where Apostle Paul and Apostle Silas were jailed. They were in jail.
05:18 They were caught and put in jail. Now, when they jailed, what they did, Apostle Paul and Silas, we can learn from this. We can actually have this kind of assurance.
05:27 At midnight, they were praying and singing hymns to God. This is verses 25 to 30, acts 16, 25, 30. They were singing hymns to God.
05:36 They were singing praises to God and the prisoners in that they were not believers. The prisoners were listening to them. 26 he says, suddenly there was a great earthquake.
05:48 So that the foundations of the prison were shaken and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. This a blessing for those who are with the children of God. With the children of God.
06:00 Those who are with the children of God, particularly those who help the children of God will be blessed. Our Father doesn’ He’s not a debtor. The word of God says he doesn’t owe people.
06:09 So anybody helping his children, he will certainly bless them. So remember, when somebody helps you, they’ll be helped. So don’t be so guilty about, you know they’re helping you.
06:22 Our Father God will bless them. So that the foundation of the prison was shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed, broke.
06:31 The chains are loosed, finished. And the keeper of the prison awakening from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing that the flood people have run away. The keeper, the prison keeper, the main man got up,
panicked.
06:47 All people must have all run away. The prisoners must have run away. He drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
06:53 Harakiri. Suicide. He want to kill himself.
06:56 Why? He will be tortured by the authorities, by the Roman. Roman authorities will torture him for allowing prisoners to escape. So he decides to kill himself.
07:07 Suicide. This because I thought all the prisoners ran away. But Apostle Paul said with a loud voice, do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
07:18 We are all here. Don’t harm yourself. 29 he says.
07:23 And then he called for a light, ran in and fell down, trembling before Paul and Silas. This men, the jail warden, big shot of the jail, gambling and fell. And Paul and Silas feet.
07:37 And he brought them out and said, sirs. He said, sir, to our apostles, to the prisoners Paul and Silas. This jail warden saying, sirs, what must I do to be saved? What I must do, must I do to be saved? Now this is a
scenario.
07:54 Can you imagine? Earthquake, prison doors are open, jail all broken up, people’s chains are loosed, their wants to commit suicide. Paul says, no, don’t worry about it. Nobody has escaped.
08:05 We are all here. Don’t harm yourself, sir. Sir, what must I do to be saved? He already knew the power of God.
08:11 He already knew. Apostle Paul and Silas are apostles of the high God, servants of the most high God. They are Children of God.
08:17 So he said, what must I do? He also wants to be saved. And in that moment of miracle happening, the Holy Spirit is speaking through Paul, speaking through Paul and Silas because so they said, they both are saying
together, you know, not just Paul saying, Paul and Silas both saying together. Because the Holy Spirit moving them at that moment, a miracle, the Holy Spirit moving them to say, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and
you will be saved.
08:45 You and your household. What are we supposed to do? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Do you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Of course you believe. You’re not listening to this.
08:56 I believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Not believe in your prayers, not believe in your fasting. Now, in the Orthodox Jewish bible, same verse 16:31 says, and Moshiach said, have
ammuni in the rabbi.
09:18 I don’t understand all this. All I know is you will come to Yeshua Elohino. You and your bias.
09:26 You will come to Yeshua Elohino. You and your bias. I go and check this word Elohino.
09:33 And Yeshua means salvation. Salvation, your salvation, my salvation. Yeshua, the Savior.
09:42 Elohino means our God, God’s salvation. Salvation of God, God’s salvation, the God of salvation. You can say many different ways this, this Greek texting.
09:55 God of salvation, Salvation of our God, God of salvation. And you and your bias. He said, you and your bias.
10:03 That’s what the Jewish Bible says. You and your household is putting you and your bias. Now, this household, who is this household? So go to the Greek translation of the concordance.
10:18 I went and searched for two different ways. Household includes family. Strong concordance is family.
10:25 Also say lineage. Now there’s another definition from another interpretation of the of the Greek Testament. All the persons forming one family, the inmates of a house, comma, all the persons.
10:40 Also all the persons forming one family is a household. All the persons forming one family. Another share of the meaning in the Greek is the stock.
10:50 That means your stock. My stock, my stock, my children, family, descendants of one. This all comes under the definition of household.
11:00 Now, brothers and sisters, today it’s in the mercies new every morning for you to learn this. Now what we have to do. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
11:10 Therefore, the power of God is in us. The glory of God is in each of ourselves. We need to activate by meditating on this, by focus.
11:20 Keep our eyes single and the light in us will be bright, complete, full of light. If we keep our eyes single, if we focus on the issue, focus on the promise of God. Our light and with a single eye.
11:35 That means focus and meditate on the issues. As soon as I got this understanding left, all fear for my son, all confusion for my son, all the panic, all the worry, all left. Which used to come from time to time, you
know.
11:52 Time to time. Come and tell me what happened to the boy. I love him.
11:58 Yeah, he has done some ravi, but I love him. He will be saved. This is husband of my soul telling me, you and your household will be saved.
12:10 My son christyloots, you and your household will be saved. That’s the husband of my soul, my Yeshua Salvation. My God of salvation is telling me, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
12:24 The Holy Spirit is saying, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Now you see. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
12:30 We know it’s the faith of Jesus Christ is in me. He’s in you. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
12:36 Can you imagine? This is a promise, you know. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. And you and your household.
12:44 Now what is the belief done? This one we must be very careful. Belief is what clinging on to him, cleave onto him. Not just I believe.
12:52 I believe lacked lazily. I believe and go about doing our work. Whatever you want to do.
12:57 No, we are concerned if I believe, which I believe, I told you all, if he says the wall is black, I’ll say the wall is black. Because I believe on him. I believe in him.
13:05 I believe on him. If he tells me the wall is black, I’ll say, brother and sister, the wall is black. My eyes are playing tricks on me.
13:14 I just want to obey what he says. Why I want to obey. He knows it all.
13:18 He loves me. He knows it all. He’s telling me.
13:22 Look, son, the world is black. That’s it. Yes, father, the world is black.
13:28 Ah, my eyes. Sharp eyes, Carnal eyes, Earthly eyes, fallen nature eyes. My heart shut up.
13:33 You are believing wrong things. You believe what God says. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and I will be saved.
13:39 And me and my household. Now, brothers and sisters, this is fantastic. This must become single minded in you.
13:47 No, double minded. Single minded. Single minded.
13:49 I be single, full of light, fully persuaded. And then you know, you’ll be set free. You will believe this word, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
14:00 Yeshua Elohinu, God of salvation. You and your buyers will be saved. You and your household will be saved.
14:08 Today is a wonderful day. Rejoice, brothers and sisters. Rejoice.
14:12 Give thanks. I mean, what do you do now? You don’t pray for the salvation. You only have to believe.
14:17 So when you believe, make sure your heart believes. Because you must believe in the heart. When you’re commanding the heart to believe, you begin to say things.
14:25 I thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord Jesus Christ. You saved my household.
14:30 My household is saved. Will be saved because you said so. It’s a promise of God.
14:35 It’s not. Say, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and pray, pray, pray and you will be saved. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
14:41 If you love him, you’ll keep his commandments. The commandments are prescription. Oh, our remedies.
14:47 Fantastic day. Wonderful day. Pass this on to everybody you know who’s suffering, who’s worrying about their children.
14:54 No more worry. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your household will be saved. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray.
15:02 Amen.
