If however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Ceasar, (Romans 25:11). Paul knew that he was innocent of the charges laid against him & could appeal to Ceasar's judgement. He knew his rights as Roman citizen & as an innocent person. Paul had met his responsibilities as a Roman, & so he had the opportunity  to claim Rome's protection. God was with him all the way & the favor of God surrounded him even in chains. Paul was free on the inside. The good reputation & clear conscience  that result from our walk with God can help us remain guiltless before God & blameless before the world. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, let Your favor surround us as your church worldwide. Let your favor locate us & speak for us. Give us a good name as Christians in the sight of both God & men. Give us true Christian character. Let the world emulate our character & be encouraged to follow Jesus Christ. Your Word says: We must not worry about what to say when under trials, before the councils, but that the Holy Spirit will give us the words to say at that time. They will come spontaneously. Holy Spirit, you proved it in the lives of Jesus, Peter, Paul, etc. You are a faithful God. You are true to your Word. You work with us & confirm your Word with miracles, signs & wonders. You are God in action. Do wonders in your church. Close all doors that satan is using to gain entry into your church. Deliver your people  from doubt, unbelief, sin, fear & lies. Restore power & glory in your church. Touch the hearts of your people & change their lives. Thank you Jesus for hearing & answering my prayer.  Thank you Jesus for this miracle of deliverance. In Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen.  God bless you all.
