TIME TO PRAY
ACTS 12, John 16:24 Believers should always Pray!
The assemble in Jerusalem was growing, more and more were believing that Jesus was the Messiah.
The Jewish leaders were getting angry!
King Herod (Jewish King of Israel under Rome) had James, the brother of John, an apostle killed.
This made them happy. So, he planned to have Peter arrested and killed. But it was time for the Passover. So Peter was held in prison and killed later.
The Jewish believers started praying. They had an all night prayer session at someone’s house.
In prison Peter was taken to an inner cell. There, two guards were chained to him. Outside the first door were two more guards and outside the second door were two more guards. He was NOT to escape.
As Peter slept, and the believers prayed, God sent an Angel to free him. The guards slept, the chains were removed and Peter followed the Angel right through the locked doors and past all the guards to freedom. Even as Peter stood on the street, he thought he was dreaming. Finally, he knew it was real, he was free. He went to the house (God led him) where the believers were praying.
Believers should always pray! God will answer according to His will.
When Peter knocked on the door, Rhoda answered, but didn’t believe it was Peter. Neither did anyone else when she told them. Finally, they let Peter into the house and they rejoiced that God had answered their Prayers and Peter was safe.
We should pray always, whether we are in trouble or not.
