Supernatural Result Of Corporate Prayer.
Acts 12:1-19 “The early church was growing and expanding. Powerful demonstrations of God were in abundance. The enemy wants to put an end to things before they get started. James is killed. Peter is kept in prison. They intend to kill him … “Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.” Acts 12:5
They engaged heaven which resulted in a miraculous deliverance. “Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands.” Acts 12:7
The doorway between adversity and victory is called, “but prayer.”
5 Observations
1. Bad Stuff Happens To Good People
vs. 2,3 “he killed James…arrested Peter…”
None of us are immune form attacks and trials in this life.
2. We Are Never Helpless
Psalm. 91:15 “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.”
We have a recourse in a time of trouble.
3. We Have Responsibilities
vs. 5 “but constant prayer was offered by the church”
a. United — the church
b. Passionate — earnestly
c. Persistent — continued
d. Directive — for him
e. Courageous — but
4. We Have A Rescuer
Psalm 91:14 “The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.”
Heaven is ready to act for us.
5. Our Enemies Will Be Destroyed
vs. 23 “…angel of the Lord smote him…”
Psm. 68:1-4 (NLT) “Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives. Blow them away like smoke. Melt them like wax in a fire. Let the wicke perish in the presence of God. But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy. Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord— rejoice in his presence!”
Prayer Directives:
Prayer for all those afflicted by the enemy today to realize His freedom
Prayer for God’s continued manifest presence to fill the earth (Psalm 67)
Prayer for God to send out labourers in the harvest fields (Romans 10:11-15)
We pray Lord that you would protect our families and every member of our church family this day. We pray that as we worship you, you would speak a Word, and move in a powerful way that manifests the victory we already are assured of. Help us to know you are with us always and that we have the assurance you always lead us in triumphal procession. Reveal yourself in ways beyond our imaginations across this earth; show yourself strong, We pray you would remind us of what you have done for us and create passion in our hearts to go and bring in the harvest in our own sphere of influence. Amen.
Thank you Father that you are our strong tower, and all we have to do is run to you and we are safe. We pray for protection over all the Impact family and for an increase in joy 🙂 Lord I pray that You would cover the earth with your manifest glory and that people would see how beautiful you are. AMEn!
Thank you Lord for your Devine intervention when we don’t see what you see. Give us courage to step out of our comfort zone to touch others with your Love. Thank you that our prayers can reach across any and all barriers world wide.
Corporate prayer is indeed powerful. I would like to offer my gratitude to all those who prayed for me on Sunday. My health has improved greatly in the short time between my appointments. Most impressive, a lesion in my heart has completely healed. A plan is being put in place to continue my healing(cleanses, exercise, massage) but I hope you will pray for me again before my next appointment. Place your trust in God and God will guide you.
Stefan – how awesome!!! Our healer 🙂
