"About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose." -- Acts 16:25-26

I often tell people who are looking for more of God to hang out in the vicinity of some God Chasers. Houses of prayer, like the Oxford House of Prayer (OHOP), C-HOP, and IHOP are some of those places where you can expect to encounter a few God Chasers!

Paul and Silas got thrown in prison and being God Chasers they started praying and singing hymns to God. But don't miss what happened next ... everybody's chains came loose, not just the ones around Paul and Silas. This is one of those life-changing truths about God Chasing: When He comes, He tends to bless everyone in the vicinity! The only God Chasers in the prison that night were Paul and Silas and they began praising God through their circumstances. When they were done, God showed up and set everyone free. Lesson learned: It pays to be in the vicinity of a God Chaser!
