"And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and his chains fell off from his hands." — Acts 12:7

Peter was in prison, chained between soldiers, facing execution. But light entered the prison. The chains fell off. The doors opened. Light precedes liberation. It does not matter what prison you are in—financial, sickness, addiction—it is not final. The light can penetrate where you are, break the chains, and move you out. Identify your prison. Expect light to shine in that dark place. Be ready to move when the chains fall: "Arise up quickly."
