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

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. 


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..

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...
