[D4L]

Good morning my dear friends in Christ!

“And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.” - Acts 16:33

The Philippian jailer was an ordinary man until one night the Holy Spirit visited the jail where he worked and shook the place and opened the doors for him to be saved and go from being ordinary to extraordinary.

Yes, this un-named jailer, could've very well been put to death. God literally shook the entire jail, and simultaneously shook up the jailer to his core.

Profound study and meditation, brother. Thank you and God bless you.
