Psalm 34:7-8 ‘The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.’

DAILY READING –Hebrews 3:1-4:13; Genesis 48; Psalm 38

Liu Zhenying, known as ‘Brother Yun’ was arrested for the first time at only 17 years of age for sharing the Gospel in communist China.
As he continued his involvement in the underground Church in the 1980s, he was arrested numerously and in the prison he was often beaten and tortured terribly.
However, on more than one occasion, God miraculously broke him out of prison to the astonishment of the guards.
One of these instances of miraculous escape occured after Brother Yun was paraded through the streets with a red cross tied behind him. After that, in the night he was locked inside a large interrogation room with his hands tied up. Suddenly, the rope that bound his hands snapped by itself freeing him. He then walked out of the room and went through the prison courtyard. Surprisingly, no guard stopped him or said anything to him. It was as if God had blinded their eyes and they did not even recognize who he was.
Because the front gate was locked, the only way Brother Yun could get out was to climb over an eight-foot high cement wall. When he managed to climb up, he looked over the wall and saw that there was a ten-foot wide open tank directly below. Suddenly, he felt as if someone had lifted him up and threw him so far that he landed without falling into the tank.
Thus Brother Yun escaped from the prison and eventually left China. He sought asylum in Germany in 2001 and from there. he has continued with his ministry internationally. The book ‘The Heavenly Man’ is about his extraordinary life and amazing story.

Psalm 34:7-8 says ‘The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.”

Psalm 34 was written in response to an incident in David’s life where he miraculously escaped danger.
In 1 Samuel 21:10-15, David was on the run from Saul and sought safety in Gath [Goliath’s place of birth]. When he was brought before their king, he realized his life was in danger. David then pretended madness and was able to escape.
In verse 7 of Psalm 34, David says he was delivered because “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.’

Certainly, God is able to miraculously deliver and rescue those who fear Him from impossible situations.
In Acts 12:6 Peter was in prison, bound with chains and placed between two soldiers. In that situation, where escape appeared unthinkable, God suddenly showed up through angelic intervention and Peter was miraculously delivered.
It is wonderful to know that we serve the same God who executes miraculous deliverances.
Though we may sometimes face troubles— when we fear God, we can trust that He will deliver us from every single one of them.
We serve the warrior King in whose Hands all powers reside.
Jesus told us in Luke 12:4-5, not to fear what man can do, but rather to fear God who has total power over life and death. .
Our lives and times are in God’s hands and certainly, He can save to the uttermost those who trust in Him. He can make a way of escape out of every temptation and break us out of every prison of afflictions.
Jesus suffered on the Cross to ensure that affliction never arises a second time in our lives. Therefore, by the power in His Blood, every instrument of oppression being used to sponsor afflictions in your life will suffer total technical failures. Despite how the enemy may have tried to hinder your progress today, you are escaping from every prison of limitation and soaring to greater heights of destiny. Certainly, by the Blood of Jesus, our soul has escaped as a bird from every snare of the fowlers. Indeed the snare is broken, and we have escaped.[Psalm 124:7]

PRAYER; Father, I thank You for Your divine intervention in my life. By the power in the Blood of Jesus, I have escaped from every prison, bondage and captivity of the enemy in every area of my life in Jesus Name.
