Today’s Joel Osteen Inspirational Message 13 December 2025
Topic: Prisoners Set Free
Scripture: When [Peter] realized this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered for prayer. – Acts 12:12, NLT
It’s interesting that the church had been praying late into the night for Peter’s release from prison when he miraculously showed up and knocked on the door. In answer to their prayers, an angel had come into the prison, the chains fell off Peter’s wrists, and the angel brought him safely past sixteen guards and through the prison’s iron gate.
People all around us have chains holding them bound. You may have children who are off course, friends who are not making good decisions, loved ones who are struggling with addictions and running with the wrong crowd. Don’t stop praying even if it’s been a long time and there’s no sign of things changing. God is full of mercy. Because of your prayers, He’ll break their chains. You can stand in the gap for someone else who’s bound. Instead of talking about your friend who’s addicted, why don’t you pray for them? Instead of criticizing your coworker who is hot-tempered and doesn’t like you, pray for them. Your prayer can be the catalyst for chains to suddenly come off.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that I can stand in the gap for the people in my life who are living with chains holding them bound. Thank You that I can cover them in prayer and speak words of faith over them. I will make it my mission to help them find freedom in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: Let me encourage you. God has seen all the sacrifices. The times you gave when you needed the funds. You stayed late to help when you were tired. You went the extra mile, but nobody said thanks. God is about to thank you. He’s about to show out in your life. You’re going to see increase, abundance, resources, business, contracts, and opportunities that you cannot contain. That means so many good opportunities that you have to choose what’s best.
That means lending and not borrowing, being able to be a bigger blessing. That means the right people showing up. Not you having to track them down, beg them, hope they give you a break, but divine connections, searching you out. This all goes back to honoring God, keeping Him first place, and having an over-and-above mentality, a generous spirit. Look for ways you can be an over-and-above blessing.
