Praise Opened The Door
Acts 16: 25- 26
25) And at midnight Paul and Silas Prayed and Sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26) And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison were opened, and every ones bands were loosed.
In the formentioned passages of scripture you see that Paul and Silas making a major impact on the people in the city. Because they were bold enough to go into a province that did not have similar customary beliefs as it relates to salvation. It was Paul and Silas who showed these people the way of salvation.
They were so impactful that some of the masters of that city became distraught; Therefore, they took hold of Paul and Silas and began to beat them with many stripes. After such was done they place them in the inner prison where they secured them with stocks, chains and a guard to be certain that what happened with Peter would not happen with them that there would be no way to escape.
