Risking being shot to death on the spot, he wrote later that he obeyed the voice, and walked straight through several prison doors that were somehow left open in front of many prison guards, across the prison yard and finally out of the main gate. Yun stated that it was as if he had become invisible to the guards who stared straight through him.[2] Although many expressed doubts that such a thing could happen, some prison guards have lost their jobs for this 'embarrassing mishap.'[2] It is reported that the official investigation by the Chinese Government concluded that "Yun received no human help in his escape."[2] These reports have been confirmed by numerous prisoners who occupied the same prison cell as Yun.[citation needed] He remains the only person to have escaped from this notorious maximum security prison.[6]"
    That sounds familiar - I heard him give that testimony at IHOP Atlanta last year. He really went through alot of suffering for his faith.
    He also said that they had busted up his feet so that he could not escape, so that is another part of the miracle.

    And as we know from other passages, God also disciplines and/or allows consequences for sin....Israel OFTEN came under bondage to evil nations for seasons until they turned ..so as with a parent we want the best for our kids, blessings, good things....but if we truly are we, in wisdom know when to allow consequences to run their course....

    Also the church of Jesus was SCATTERED by Rome for God's intent...they were driven out of their homes and scattered as seed....

    God's intent IS His kingdom and our GOOD but that is not always how we would interpret our situations...
