Deliverance from Prison (2)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 16, 35 – 40:
When it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors with the order, “Release those men.” The jailer reported these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent orders that you be releases. Now, then, come out and go in peace.” But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, even though we are Roman citizens and have not been tried, and have thrown us into prison. And now, are they going to release us secretly? By no means. Let them come themselves and lead us out.” The lictors reported these words to the magistrates, and they became alarmed when they heard that they were Roman citizens. So they came and placated them, and led them out and asked that they leave the city. When they had come out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house where they saw an encouraged the brothers, and then they left.
A man was in a horrible car accident and badly injured his back and his legs. The doctors told him that he would never walk again. He asked me to pray for him that he will be able to walk. I prayed that the Lord would heal him and that he will be able to walk without trouble. A few days afterwards to the astonishment of the doctors, he left the hospital walking very well. Thank you Lord.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Come and work with Me My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me and know that nothing is impossible to Me. I can heal the sick even if the doctors say that there is no cure. Through your prayers I can bring about a miracle like this man who walked after you prayed for him. Look what happened to Saint Paul and Silas who were in prison. I am the one who brought about an earthquake in that area so that all the doors flue opened and the chains fell off the feet of the prisoners. The Magistrates the next morning told Paul and Silas that they can leave the prison but Paul wanted them to come and get them out. He wanted to tell them that they were Roman citizens and what they had done to them was illegal. The magistrates were afraid once they found out that they were Roman citizens. They had no right to beat them and thrown them into prison without a trial. Yes, it can happen that you too will be thrown into prison one day even though you have not done nothing wrong. Do not be afraid as I will be with you and I will help you. I am your Lord and Savior and I am always ready to help you. I love you all.”

P.S. I was not able for some years to pay the Government taxes for my house and the chapel. Yesterday I received a letter from the Government giving me one month to pay that bill or my house and chapel will be put on auction. I need $8,500 to pay that bill. Please pray that some will help me to pay that. Thank you very much.
