Rejoice when you are persecuted

         Which of you would sing if you. Were in prison. This story can be found in acts which is a book in the bible by Luke. This story is about Paul, Silas, and God. It all started at the market were there was a girl possessed by demons that proclaimed ‘’these men are servants of the most high God who proclaim to you the way of salvation. Paul was disturbed and sent the demon out of her. Her owners were greatly destressed because she brought then a good sum of money, so Paul and his companion Silas were sent to jail without a trial

         This story sadly and drearily takes place about the time of Paul’s second mission in a dark dreary musty smelling prison. the dark Dungun told the story of the many deaths that had taken place there. This story is manly about Paul, Silas, God, and the jailer. Paul and Silas were missionaries. Before he became a missionary Paul, persecuted Christians and was called Saul. These men were faithful.

         Paul and Silas who were badly wounded by the romans were sent to a very dark sell in a dark prison. Singing Paul and Silas amazingly praised the lord as if they were at a celebration. The prisoners were very annoyed. Just then there was a huge earthquake. Running the jailer came scared. ‘’what is happening? ‘’

         Then in a few seconds the jailer was holding his sword to his throat and Paul called out to him ‘’do not harm yourself For we are here .‘’Gleeful happy and relieved the jailer called out to him and fell to his knees ‘’what has caused you to have such kindness ? ‘’Paul replied it is God who saved me then the jailer asked how should I be saved? Paul replied Believe in God. Immediately the jailer brought Paul and Silas too his home and gently washed him and fed him. From that time on the jailer and his family were Christian.  

         This story is a good example. About how God answers prayer. when things are not effortlessly easy, we need to be like Paul and Silas. Paul was faithful and Silas was encouraging. This story teaches that God has a plan. I think this message is very important. think about it which of you agree. When things are difficult, we need to rejoice.
