The Power Of Prayer

In conclusion. We can never underestimate or neglect our prayer life, because constant prayer is the key for leading a completely blessed life. As we have been able to appreciate, there is not too much difference between what happened to Peter at that time, and what happens to many of us now a day. This small portion of the scriptures reveals to us the permanent confrontation that exists between good and evil. I say this because the line of the Herod’s symbolizes Satan’s unceasing attack on the church.

Herod the great attempted to kill Jesus; his son had John the Baptist decapitated; his grandson had decapitated Jacob, and now had Peter incarcerated to execute him after Easter. But at the same time that Peter was suffering the chains, the church was suffering with him on their knees in prayer. What was the final result? The result was that the chains that were binding Peter fell from him, and the doors that incarcerated him flung open. Let’s never forget that there is great power in prayer. Sincere and persevering prayers produced peace in Peter’s life. Sincere and persevering prayers liberated this faithful servant. Sincere and persevering prayers unleashed a miracle in his life. Now the question that I ask is do you want to unleash these things in you life? Then examine your prayer life very closely, and pray to God. Never forget that God is present to liberate you; that God is present to forgive you, and that God will always hear the prayer of all faithful believers.
