The power of singing for the Lord Jesus?

Question

Acts 16:25
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God; and the prisoners heard them;

Acts 16:26
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison were shaked; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Do you believer that with faith, prayer, and with believing, anything that God's will can happen?

I do...

Answer 1

Matthew 19:26 says "With God, all things are possible." If God commands something to happen, it will happen. He has a plan for everything, and nothing can stand in the way of that plan. God will give you what you need to do His will, and sometimes the things that you want. Christian love and prayer is one of the strongest forces on this earth, seeing as how God is controlling it. God bless you!

Answer 2

I do not believe God wants people to die in tsunamis, hurricanes, fires, or earthquakes. I do not believe God causes disasters. I do not believe that God is so brutal and cruel that he would even think about torturing his children with anything like hell. I believe prayer is a superstition practiced by the gullible, otherwise, there would be no natural disasters. There will be a way to protect ourselves from natural disasters but it will not come from the supernatural.
If God was real, He would have written the Bible much more clearly and that would have avoided the multitude of sects that exist today. If He was really powerful he would have spread the Gospel to the whole world at the same time and said the same thing to everyone.
Wait a minute, maybe He did. There are universal moral admonitions that every culture knows. I believe that is what God told mankind.

Answer 3

I don't think that if the people locked up right now in any jail or prison started to sing the praises of God or Jesus that there would be an earthquake and all their cell doors would open up and they'd be free. However, I do believe that those whom have sinned against their fellow humans (and thereby against God) whom have found their way to having belief and faith in God (and thereby repented of their former ways)- that God would most definitely "hear them", and their "bonds" in this life (on earth) would be broken in the the "Afterlife", if not in this one. I do believe in the power of prayer- God hears us. Whether or not He lets us know this- in the ways that we "wish for", well, that's more of an "area" that is harder to understand. Sometimes He grants us what we "need", not necessarily what we "wish for", and sometimes a prayer is truly "answered" when it is not "answered" at all.
I think the Bible quotes you gave above are a great illustration of how people can, if they decide to change direction in life that leads them toward faith in God, how they can become spiritually evolved and win the favor of our Creator. I do think the story above is meant to be taken "symbolically"(and of course "spiritually")- not literally. That's just my opinion, and, to each their own.

Answer 4

ABSOLUTELY! I don't know how much longer God will allow my health and voice to hold out, but I want to cut a cd just for my 2 Daniels - and I've been praying for someone to enter my life who plays guitar - well, he didn't send me a guitarist, but as my sister took me on an outing to a flea market, which she's the only one who is willing to load up all my wherewithall to take me out, the Lord blessed me with a guitar. I've never held one in my hands before in my life. I play piano a little. But I sat in that flea market, tuned it, played and sang out loud for Jesus. He knew what he was doing!

Answer 5

Music is a very powerful form of magick found in many cultures, Nice to see that you still recognize musical magick.

Answer 6

no.

if a god wants to do something, then "prayer, faith, and believing" are irrelevant.

for christians, god does pretty much what they want him / her / it to do.
