Remember this Saints:
Paul wrote Holy Spirit-filled letters WHILE IN prison, and roughly 2,000 years later, what God did through Paul WHILE he was imprisoned is still transforming those who are seeking the Face of God.
No matter what evil purpose Satan and his minions hope to accomplish by imprisoning you, silencing you, and restricting you, know this: Bars on a jail cell did not stop God then, nor can the enemy stop those whose primary objective is to serve and glorify God today. Just when the Devil whispers 'all is lost,' God says, I am with my people WITHERSOEVER they go! There is nothing the Devil can do that will ever RESTRICT an Almighty God!
Lest we forget, there is a false Babylonian church/world system parading around and pretending to be something special, but IN the midst of that corrupt system, God has planted His remnant CHURCH, a separate and holy nation that is peculiar to God. The Apostle Peter ends his first epistle with: "The church that IS AT Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you;."
No matter what shackles Satan has clamped on your feet, hands, and mouth, PRAY! Pray that God will do a great work through you! Pray that God be glorified even in the presence of the oppressor! He will! He will!
I prayed back in January about an issue that appeared impossible to withstand and conquer, and God said, "Wait on me, Joy. I'll handle this!" And today the moment arrived - God handled it!
The mountain moved.
Daniel faithfully served God while in Babylon! So can you!
Acts 16:"19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison,"
