In the previous blogs I failed to share an increible story. We visted an underground church for a day and got to sit at the feet of the pastor, as he shared the story of his life. He spoke about going from preaching one minute to getting tossed into jail the next. He described the ways the police would brutally mistreat him. He took on the beatings for the sake of Christ. They kept him in the cell for 23 hours of the day. Which forced him to go to the bathroom on himself. Disgrace and shame are what the police wanted him to be filled with but those things were forbidden to enter his heart. Hope in Jesus is what He clung to. Forgivness and love are the only things that consumed him. He would speak to his own heart and say I have nothing to fear, what can mortal man do to me? Days turned into weeks; and weeks turned into months. After 2 months and 15 days, one of the police man opened the jail cell and said you are free to go. The police had no reason for his release. He couldnt even utter anything other than your free, you can go. Our friends first stop out of jail was to his underground church that he lead. It was their were he found the church body laboring in prayer for him and for his release. That is what the church should look like. There is power in prayer. There is power in the church body.
