Acts 12

Prayer
- Pemula Lodge
- A teen boy who has broken his leg severely (Healing, Restoration and Life in Jesus' Name!)

Acts 12
Fear and Gloom
Absolute despair and hopelessness - persecution increasing.
But God is watching our circumstances and situations

1 Peter 3:8 - 12

God hears our prayers.
vs 5
The Church's prayers were the turning point.

Our prayers significantly change situations
The angel fetched Peter out of the prison, but the prayer fetched the angel.
vs 6
Why did james die, but Peter was rescued?

Mark 10:35 - 40
They didn't know what they were asking for.

We need to trust God in all situations.
He allows us to exist in sufferings.
We have limited knowledge of situations

We should push back against discouragement. Prayers may seem to be unanswered, but in hindsight, they were answered in unexpected manners.
vs 20 - 24
Herod - struck down with intestinal parasites and died.
Peter - Set free
The Word - continued to spread.
A story of disaster changed to a story of victory.
