Persistent Praying      

The Bible says, “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.” Acts 12:5-11 (KJV)

Did you know the Lord is still in the prayer answering business? I praise the Lord for those who were in prayer for Fred so many years ago and that I, too, was led from the prison of sin and led to a restored life in Christ Jesus. If you have not experienced that deliverance, today could be the day you receive eternal life or continue toward eternal damnation.

To all Believers reading this today I ask you: “Has the Lord laid some lost soul on your heart? Are you diligently praying for them?” Perhaps, today will be the day when their chains will be broken and they will be set free from Satan! I encourage you today to remain steadfast in your praying! To God be the glory!
