In today’s message, Angus tells us about a visit to a prison where he was invited to preach the Gospel to the prisoners. He witnessed God’s love through the convicted felons, their amazing singing, and unashamed love for the Lord. Although they were locked up, they were freer in themselves than many of us living on the outside. Angus reminds us that we are all sinners and many of the Lord’s chosen in the bible, spent time in prison but were free in their spirit. 1John 4:4 tells us that the Lord God who is within us is greater than he which is in the world, that is the devil. We have freedom in Jesus Christ!

Hebrews 13:8. There is nothing more powerful than a personal testimony. Acts 6:10, 15. Steven became the first martyr as he testified about the power of God.
