Blessed Is She Who Believes: Pray, Listen and Believe (Evangelist Corra Minnaar)

<p><strong>Blessed Is She Who Believes: Pray, Listen and Believe\</strong></p><p><strong>Acts 12:1–24</strong></p><p><strong>“Your blessing is at the door. Your answer is at the door. Your miracle is at the door. Open the door and receive it!”</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>1. SOMEONE IS PRAYING WHILE YOU ARE IN PRISON</strong></p><p>Acts 12 opens with a terrible situation.</p><p>Herod had stretched out his hand against the church.</p><p>James had been killed.</p><p>Now Peter was arrested and put in prison.</p><p>Peter was not in prison because he had done something wrong.</p><p><strong>He was in prison because he was serving God.</strong></p><p>Sometimes you can be doing the will of God and still find yourself in a difficult place.</p><p>You can be faithful and still face opposition.</p><p>You can pray and still find yourself in a prison.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>2. WHAT KIND OF A THREAT ARE YOU TO THE ENEMY?</strong></p><p>Herod did not put Peter in prison because Peter was insignificant.</p><p>He put him there because Peter was <strong>dangerous to the kingdom of darkness.</strong></p><p>The enemy saw something in Peter.</p><p>Peter was carrying something.</p><p>Peter had a purpose.</p><p>Peter had a calling.</p><p>Peter had a future.</p><p>Peter himself may not have understood everything God was going to do through him.</p><p>But the enemy wanted to stop it.</p><p>So he put him in chains.</p><p>He surrounded him with guards.</p><p>He tried to make sure Peter could not make the next move.</p><p>But <strong>chains cannot cancel God&#39;s purpose!</strong></p><p>Guards cannot stop God&#39;s plan!</p><p>A prison cannot imprison the Word of God!</p><p>Acts 12:7 says:</p><p><strong>“Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him...”</strong></p><p>Peter was sleeping between two soldiers.</p><p>He was bound with two chains.</p><p>Guards were watching the door.</p><p>From the natural perspective, there was no way out.</p><p>But suddenly...</p><p>The angel appeared</p><p>The enemy knew what was inside Peter.</p><p><strong>What God has ordained for you cannot be cancelled by what the enemy has arranged against you.</strong></p><p><br></p>
