Overview: 1. The sovereignty of God in the conversion of the Philippian jailor.--- the Philippian jailor had no intention of getting saved, but God had other plans--- a false accusation against Paul and Silas resulted in this jailor getting saved--- if we could look at the vantage point that God has, you would be able to see how God has directed you--- thank God for his sovereignty in Christ in choosing you for salvation before the foundation of the world----2. The jailor almost did not get saved.--- the jailor probably looked on these people as fools--- prior to the earthquake, he turned a deaf ear to what they had to say and was fast asleep--- At the midnight hour, God moved in a miraculous way and caused a great earthquake--- The jailer was responsible for every prisoner and if he lost his prisoners he lost his life--- he was ready to kill himself and was within seconds of going to hell when out came the cry from Paul- do thyself no harm--- In one sense, humanly speaking, the salvation of this man almost did not take place----3. There was something going on behind the scenes that lead to this man getting right with God.--- By this, we mean the activity of Paul and Silas who were faithful to God in witnessing to Christ--- Paul and Silas were singing and praising God--- we would most likely be grumbling about our treatment and feeling sorry for ourselves--- why did the other prisoners not try to escape---- the presence of God came down and silenced them----4. When the Philippian jailor asked his question, he was given the best advice possible.----5. The good news is that the jailor gave heed to what he was told.
