Prophetic Word: Acts 12vs12-13 Day 7

Acts 12:5 states that ‘Peter was therefore kept in prison: But prayer was made without ceasing of the Church for him’. This is a Scripture that could easily cause much ‘vexation’ of spirit. How can such a ‘prayer warrior’ be held bound, confined, and locked up in jail, like this? Furthermore, how can God expect the Church to keep praying in such a dire and perhaps hopeless situation? My sisters and brothers, this is a valid question because James had also been arrested and executed. Now it was Peter’s turn.

People of God, when God calls us into a ‘Prayer and Fasting Meeting’, watch out, something is about to shift. What God is looking for is our ridiculous surrender to Him even when we are going through desperate and dreadful situations. To be honest, there are times when ‘prayer’ can seem such an illogical solution. Everything in our natural mind is telling us that God is not being rational, reasonable or fair.

Yet, prayer is not just absolutely powerful, but unquestionably the only solution in situations like this: Period. Let us look at ‘prayer’ from other biblical standpoints. Moses is a banished prince, and he is sent by God to face a Powerful Monarch, called Pharaoh. The Lord assured Moses that He was with him and that he must use what he had in his hand. What Moses had in his hand was a ‘rod’. It was just an ordinary tool, yet it performed wonders. That ‘rod’ brought the Children of Isreal out of Egypt. That ‘rod’ divided the Red Sea. Our prayers are like the ‘rod’ in the hand of Moses. Our prayers are like the ‘shout’ that brought Jerico down. Our prayers are like the ‘fast’ of Queen Esther. Our prayers will cause those who rise up against us to be ‘smitten before our face’ (Psalms 91). Our prayers are like the ‘the sound of worship’ coming from the belly of Paul and Silas locked in jail. What these men and women had were like ‘threshing instruments’ shattering fetters of iron.

People of God, 2 Corinthians 10:4 informs us that ‘The weapon of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God to cast down strongholds.’ So, let us use what we have in our hands and in our mouth: LET US PRAY.

Prophetic Word
– Today, I declare that my purpose will not be held bound, jailed, confined, locked up, or executed, in Jesus’ Name.
– With my prayers, I will send out a ‘sound’ into the heavenly realms. My prayers will activate angelic beings to initiate a supernatural shifting.
– My prayer is like the ‘rod’ in the hand of Moses; it is like the ‘shout’ at Jerico wall; It is like the ‘praise’ of Paul and Silas. When I pray, strongholds must come down.
– My prayers and my shouts are not empty sounds. My ‘prayers’ brings deliverance, divide seas, destroys Jerico Walls, sets the captive free, and shatter prison doors. Pray Saints, Pray. Hallelujah.
