The one touch of the Lord has a twofold effect- Peter Escaped- Herod Died

 

The Acts 12 shows how God is super Powerful and in charge, even when people are being mean and unfair. 

God's intervention happened when the man of God held up in the Prison,

the early Church's persecution under King Herod Agrippa.

*The early church Prayed for Peter's Miraculous escape*

Herod Agrippa begins persecuting the Church, executing James, the brother of John. Seeing the Jews' approval, he proceeds to arrest Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, intending to bring him to trial after Passover. Peter is kept in prison, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each (Peter vs 16 soldiers),  but the *Church prayed* fervently for him. 

On the eve of Peter's trial, an angel of the Lord wakes him, freeing him from his chains and leading him out of the prison. Peter initially thinks he is dreaming, but upon realizing his freedom, he acknowledges it as the Lord's doing.

Acts 12:7-9 AMP‬- [7] Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared [beside him] and a light shone in the cell. The angel struck Peter’s side and awakened him, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off his hands. [8] The angel said to him, “Prepare yourself and strap on your sandals [to get ready for whatever may happen].” And he did so. Then the angel told him, “Put on your robe and follow me.” [9] And Peter went out following the angel. He did not realize that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 

In the morning, there is a great confusion among the soldiers over Peter's escape. Herod orders a thorough search, and when they fail to find Peter, he interrogates the guards and orders their execution. Herod, angered with the people of Tyre and Sidon, The people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It’s the voice of a god, not of a man!”

Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the Glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.

When we engage in collective prayer, we invoke the divine intervention of God, who graciously lends His ear to our supplications and extends His assistance through the manifestation of His immense power, known as Dunamis. Concurrently, the propagation of God's word experienced a sustained trajectory of growth, resulting in a substantial influx of new believers. This phenomenon has become the prevailing norm from that point forward. Hallelujah 😊. 

The God's Power displayed against Customary acts. 

Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

Have a Blessed weekend!!! 

In His Grip..
