The Church Prayed

Scripture: Acts 12:5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

Observation: The whole church was praying for Peter and because of those prayers God released him from prison. Jesus said if two or more or gathered in my name there I am in the midst. Imagine the power when the church prays for something. Just yesterday Pastor Mike said he was getting very sick again and he had several people from the church pray for him and the next day he felt well. The power of prayer is amazing and when we get together as the body of Christ it is even more powerful.

Application: To pray more with the body of Christ over things that affect the church.

Prayer: Dear Lord open up doors to pray as the church to honor and glorify your name, to draw nearer to you.
