Scriptures Referenced In This Broadcast:
Mark 16:15 KJV
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Acts 16:25-34 KJV
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 foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. [27] And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. [28] But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. [29] Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, [30] And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? [31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. [32] And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. [33] And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. [34] And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

hello everybody you're listening to prison to palace i'm your host alfred the topic of today's broadcast is starting your own fellowship or brotherhood or sisterhood in prison let me say that again starting your own fellowship or brotherhood or sisterhood in prison let's open our bibles to the book of mark chapter 16 verse 15 a reading from the king james version of the bible i read and he said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature now let's look at acts chapter 16 verse 25 to 34 i'm reading from the king james version of the bible i read and at midnight paul and silas prayed and sang songs onto god and the prisoners hate them and 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 bands were loosed and the keeper of the prison awakened out of his sleep and seeing the prison doors open he drew out his sword and would have killed himself supposing that the prisoners had been fled but paul cried with a loud voice saying do thyself know him for we are all here then he called for a light and sprang in and came trembling and fell down before paul and silas and brought them out and said sads what must i do to be saved and they said believe on the lord jesus christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house and they speak unto him the word of the lord and all that were in the house and he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes and was baptized he and all his straight way and when he had brought them into his house he set me before them and rejoiced believing in god with all his house praise the lord that's a very powerful portion of the scripture and you see paul and silas when they were in prison they were still mission minded we're still great commission minded you should still have that orientation as a matter of fact think about it when the earthquake happened and you know the chains fell off you know and all the prisoners were set free paul and sellers had already created a sort of a brotherhood within the prison that all the prisoners
were subjects to they followed the leadership of poland sailors you would think that at social time the prisoners will escape why didn't the prisoners escape because paul and silas didn't want them to escape let us say that poland said us as gifts let us say that they left you know um keep in mind that when um something somewhat similar happened to peter peter walked out of the prison he did not wait you know and the angel let him out in peter's case you know when um the saints prayed without season for him what you have to note is that
that mission-mindedness should never leave you every christian is called to make disciples you know you're a disciple of jesus and you are made to create disciples of jesus so in a sense every christian has the ministry of the pastor in other words you are meant to bring people into the kingdom and teach them and groom them in the things of god no matter where you are i know christianity is a life of leadership we build leaders you know when you build these people into leaders when you build them you know in the chains of god they go forth and win people to christ and they are also building these people so that is how discipleship is and that is how the early church grew and spread you know those were um before the days of you know the church buildings and you know all that we have now the the commercialness and you know churches being registered with the government and all those kinds of things you know trust is paying taxes and all of that you know before that you know um we need to get our roots right because if there will come a game where persecution would rise again and of course for those who be um around after the rapture you know it is best that this sense now who we live at the rapture creates a format and a system that can still work and can easily be passed on to those who will be left behind because there's most of those who are in our current systems that we build that will be left behind they can actually become more serious during that time you don't have to rupture and be the leaders then you know that is something that is um very important because god's word will not possibly be a lot of things that we are preaching now will be more useful than ever then you know it's just like um there are people who seem to have the idea of ignoring the word of god on it you know they are not passionate they are not enthusiastic about it there are those who seem to have the idea that um because they are saved and they know you know relatively quite a lot of the word of god they don't need to be hungry and learn all that they they can't continuously you know they seem to think that when you know they appear together with jesus they automatically know all the all the scriptures and all the revelations will just be poured imbued you know into your brain you know into your head you know that is not the way it is if there was any time for associating to be done it to be here right now you know just said having an air to pass away but my word will not pass away so even in the life to come the word of god that you have lent is still going to be important to you the revelation from the word of god that is being preached you know in truth that is at the hand of preacher somebody by the lips of preachers you know that is based on the word of god you know they are not going to pass away those truths are still going to be important the things that you learn in school are not going to be important in heaven and in the life to come in the new heads you know a lot of the things that you have learned in school because first of all there is no money in heaven there is no financial system so all the knowledge of economics all the things that you have learned that is um to help you make money and to have a job all those things are not there in the life to come you see so all that knowledge is knowledge that is only for here on earth but the word of god is knowledge that would be not only relevant here but even more so in the life to come
you know so do that since you have to understand the things the revelations and the symbols that you did not listen to on earth you would have to hear them one way or the other in heaven those same things that you did not learn those revelations that you did not get the the understanding or spiritual truths that you do not get on it you will still have to learn it in heaven
because god's word is not going to pass away so why don't you put yourself as an advantage and understand this reality and start consuming the word of god voraciously right now on it you know so this is something that um you should know understand the importance you know of the word of god and teaching and building other people we have been sent forth to create disciples the book of mark 16 said and he said unto them going toward the world and pressure gospel to every creature you know this is your mission this is your great commission so when you are in prison you know you have to start your own brotherhood you know if it's a female prison start your sisterhood or you know your fellowship your church fellowship whether it is something that is unique started from you or something that is linked to a pre-existing fellowship and you must grow that fellowship you know and you guys stick together you look out for each other you protect each other a bit you know draw things with wisdom you know and you understand that um you have each other and you can help each other and also learn things that will help you build a better life so that when you get out for those of you who will be getting out you know things will work out well and for some of you who have been given life sentences you know it is not on head off there are numerous occasions where life sentences have been turned into just 15-year sentences or 10-year sentences or even five-year sentences it is not ahead of and your case can also be the same but you see the manner in which you conduct yourself in prison matters you see and the faiths of god working in you matters you know they have been miracles that have been wrought by those who dare to believe god so you can believe god that you will get out and you will get out but you know you have to be prepared you have to right now be doing that we should make you know all things really work together for you you know you have to um walk in that face that creates so this is very important right now you know you are in jail many stats of people you know have your own group start up your own group let them be disciples and let them go fought and bring forth disciples you know let the goal be to win the whole prison for christ turn the whole prison into a giant church turn the whole prison into a mega church hallelujah you see and you being the pastor that is what it is you know that that is what it is um that being said we've come to the end of this broadcast if you've not given life to christ i would like you to go to alfred.vip and click on the salvation prayer link in the main menu whenever they page your commander has the prayer of salvation say that prayer and give your life to christ thank you and god bless you
