Shaken, Not Stirred: Revival, Deliverance, and Midnight Praise (Acts 16)

This sermon teaches that a real move of God brings spiritual “shaking,” dividing reactions just as in Acts 2, and continuing through Acts as revival exposes hidden things and disrupts what was settled. Focusing on Acts 16, it describes Paul’s divine redirection to Philippi, the power of prayer, and the deliverance of a girl with a “python” spirit tied to a profitable demonic economy, showing how bondage benefits systems and why freedom creates resistance. The message emphasizes discernment and God’s timing, waiting in alignment before acting in authority, and explains how deliverance threatens the “strong man” and provokes backlash, leading to Paul and Silas being beaten and imprisoned. At midnight they pray and sing Passover hymns from Psalms, declaring freedom before it manifests, and the sermon calls listeners to seek deliverance through worship and altar prayer.
