The Angels Can Free You From Captivity

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth. (Acts 5:19)

I’m extremely pleased to tell you that, it was an angel of the Lord that intervened to set the captives free? A great revival had broken out in Jerusalem. Many people were being converted. The Sadducees were filled with indignation and put the Apostles in jail.

The truth is God sent an angel to open the prison doors and set them free. This happened a second time, when the Apostle Peter was set free from prison by an angel, recorded in Acts 12:5-10. Most Believers can remember some time in their lives when they have been miraculously saved from tragedy. At such times we may remember Psalm 34:7.

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (Psalms 34:7)

For these and many other reasons, we should thank God for His divine intervention in sending His angels to free you personally from your captivity, be it physical or financial! Let’s look closely at what the angel did. The angel did not go to the temple to speak. Instead, he said to those men that he had freed, "Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life" (Acts 5:20). And so it is with the Great Commission. Christ does not speak to angels, but to us, when He says,

"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)
