"But Peter continued knocking:
and when they had opened
the door,
and saw him, they were astonished.
But he, beckoning unto them
with the hand to hold their peace,
declared unto them how the Lord had
brought him out of the prison. . ."
Acts 12:16-17
Effectual Prayer
God does the
most amazing things!
Take a look
at Peter.
Peter had
not known that his fellow Christian
brothers and
sisters were praying for him
and asking
the Lord to deliver him
from prison.
How could he have known?
But they
did!
They were
helpless, and therefore they
were all the
more willing to let the Lord
handle the
matter.
However,
they had not truly expected
that their
prayer should be answered.
They had
miscalculated!
They had
made God too small.
Do we
miscalculate when we pray?
Do we trust
in an all-powerful God
to handle
our every situation?
All of us
can learn a lesson here.
We have to
be mindful always, that
we are
praying to the true God
who loves us dearly.
We are
asking things of Him
Who can
do all things!
We need to
have the courage and faith
to step to
the throne of grace
and ask God
for all things according to His will!
Acknowledge
God to be the great God
that He
really is!
Nothing
would please Him more.
And when we
say, "It's impossible!"
Let us
remember:
NOTHING is
impossible for God!
" . . . The effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man availeth much."
"Lord Dictated
Them"
