Topic: Miracles Through Prayers
Text: Acts 12:5-10
5Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
Key Verse: “And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.” Acts 12:11
Message
If you are praying on it; God is working on it; let us look at prayer this way. Persistence Request Always Yield Extraordinary Result and Success. Prayers are never said in vain. God may not answer in your own way but He will definitely answer prayers that are in line with His will for our lives.

The early church was in distress because of the persecution from Herod the King at that time. He imprisoned Peter so that he can kill him the way he killed James. But at this time the church arose and called upon God, they were not silent with their problems any longer, they decided to speak to the King of kings who has power over every earthly king. God arose and gave them instantaneous miracle while they were still praying. What a mighty God we serve. Arise today and look at your challenges eyeball to eyeball and say “the Egyptian that I see today; I will see no more forever.”

Prayer for today: Dear Father, I am expecting miracles today; please let it knock at my door.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
