“At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.”
““We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.””
“Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples”
“Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.”
When desmōtḗrion is spoken over you
Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what desmōtḗrion means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.
Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Acts 5:21 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
