  13. And now to today's message.

  14. Let's take a confession from Joshua one verse eight. Let's

  15. spoke of the law, shall on the pad out of

  16. my mouth, and I shall meditate in it today and night.

  20. Amen. Why don't you take your seats? Amen?

  21. Let's read two passages. One in a way highlights the

  22. power of corporate prayer. And then one the other one

  23. individual prayer.

  24. Amen. And there are passages that we know.

  25. And we are very familiar with, but let's just read through.

  26. We just highlight a few truths about prayer and what God.

  27. Can do and then will come back hallelujah. So let's

  28. let's take the first one that has to do with

  29. the power of corporate prayer. Hallelujah. The Book of Acts

  30. chapter twelve. Let's look at Peter, Amen. And we all

  31. know Peter, how that Jesus Christ was looking up to him,

  32. remember when he restored him and he told him that

  33. I have prayed for you so that the devil has

  34. desired to shift you like. But then I have prayed

  35. for you you'll be able to stand, and that after

  36. you have repented, you would be able to your brother's

  37. hallelu and siscess in the Lord, hallelu in men.

  38. And then in.

  39. This particular passage that we are about reading Acts chapter

  40. twelve some way somehow, let me introductory in concerning it's

  41. very important if you and I don't learn we are

  42. still in look chapter eleven one where the disciple looks

  43. at a skin.

  44. And that is what I cry. Is the man that

  45. got on Wednesday.

  46. With an art, it's a discipline that it's an art,

  47. and it's a skill that is both taught and learned.

  48. So if there I means somebody must learn it, our

  49. best teacher, of course is and we lay that foundation

  50. that because he did it himself as a man, he

  51. got so much tremendous resources or effectively. That is why

  52. the disciple looked at him. They looked at all the

  53. extraordinary things that were happening to finishing in around his

  54. life and said, no, they could only paint.

  55. It to one particular prayer.

  56. He loved the interactice They all recognize that he had

  57. been sent from that what he was doing was so

  58. mind blow They knew that it was, but how is

  59. it that one individual can say such tremendous from the presence?

  60. And they realized that it was his conversations. So after

  61. this particular meeting, we don't know what Jesus was brave

  62. or the occasion, but the Bible says.

  63. They were watching and listening to him.

  64. And then it was after when he felt the disciples

  65. of Hallelui amen.

  66. And then he said, and for.

  67. Me, that's the first key, the fact that he was

  68. even mindful to God answers prayer, and the first century

  69. Church they were so.

  70. Impact because they lends the habit.

  71. They loved prayer. Hallelujah. And if you and I are

  72. going to impact our hopes, our generation, our schools, our communities.

  73. Look, if we don't pray, we can't do it.

  74. There's no way you're going to succeeds and still being prayerless,

  75. it can't happen.

  76. Amen.

  77. So we have the choice to make being prayer for

  78. or prayer less. You become prayer less. We don't know

  79. what will happen. By one thing that we know that

  80. sooner than later you're liscerning to that. And the Bible

  81. is we have come fired, but we can be able

  82. to go where God is sending us by prayer.

  83. Amen, halleluji.

  84. I don't need to add the first thing, but if

  85. you begin on the journey of prayer, there's no way

  86. that you're not going to add first. Indeed, Jesus Christ

  87. that we are talking about is that before he started

  88. furteen days and forty nights, he am backed on the

  89. prayer exercise, but it was backed by the first to

  90. make it much more effective so that he could descend

  91. from God. He could come into the presence of God

  92. and be able to have every resource that he needed,

  93. including the angelic bees who are going to enforce the

  94. will of God. Hallelujah, Amen, Amen, Oh God Man sat

  95. in the cabalet. And so even as we are look

  96. talking about the months of prayer, it is my prayer

  97. that we will rise up to the challenge. And when

  98. we rise up, it is not for this month, it

  99. is for all our walk with God. We must stay

  100. on the prayer.

  101. Watch hallelujah. Amen.

  102. So in John't sorry, Acts chapter twelve, let's read it

  103. from verse one.

  104. Let's look at this.

  105. Peter so prayer Peter and call we know in Acts

  106. chapter three, he and John the hour of prayer. Then

  107. we're going to pray, hallelujah, and some of the private

  108. and prayer times that and Jesus went. He went with

  109. Peter and then his brother James. So Peter was somebody

  110. who knew the prayer. And then the church also they

  111. imbite the habit of prayer because they had been taught

  112. to pray.

  113. So let me, as I said, this is a story

  114. for corporate right now.

  115. Listen, he said, now about that time, Harold the King,

  116. this is.

  117. In the era of the persecution of the church, stretched

  118. out his hands to harass some from the check. And

  119. that is the point that I make.

  120. There will always be a position from within them from

  121. what were they doing bringing? Heally bringing the for people?

  122. That that's who I ran to posis him from the

  123. citting key. You're not sick, fine, If you are fine,

  124. you you you have all you have access to all

  125. the best doctors, no problem, Herod. But the other people

  126. who don't have access, who don't have money, and they

  127. are going and they are getting genuine, authentic miracles and breakthrough.

  128. Why harassed them?

  129. This was not the signery, but rather the king, the

  130. sitting the politic ahead who decided to harass them. Harlen Loujah.

  131. Then he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.

  132. Look at the best three, he said, And because he

  133. saw that he pleased the Jews, he proceeded feather to

  134. see Peter.

  135. Also.

  136. Now it was during the days of on living bed.

  137. Why should they please the Jews? Why should they please

  138. them the religions? And that he had killed James, I

  139. think about it, why should they That's why we're saying that, Look,

  140. you and I we need to always be on the prayer.

  141. What we are doing what God has called you.

  142. No think people are excited about it, Halen Louiah. Amen,

  143. Then we are doing prayer, start up, and then we

  144. are doing lunch our prayer and then we are doing

  145. it and logos rem hour. We are doing logos rema school.

  146. We are doing You think people are excited for us.

  147. We are being naive. You have not ready your bible.

  148. You want to do gospel work, You want to do

  149. business for God the way we are doing it, fasting

  150. and praying and doing going out there and living out

  151. the truth of the word of God. No, you will

  152. face a proceeding when you start praying. Better stay on

  153. the prayer watch all your life because in the time

  154. that you will quit pray, you'll be in big trouble.

  155. Halen Lujiah, life they see. Amen.

  156. Now who is the.

  157. God zurro zero matt your something so matteh Now he said, Ben,

  158. I feel with giant.

  159. He will come.

  160. You mobilize his people when they will come. Halened Louiah,

  161. he man, sorry they nat, I mean me on no maamad.

  162. Raise up, rise up. The church must rise and pray

  163. and stay on the prayer.

  164. Watch halleluias a may so they killed one. And so

  165. when he had arrested, he put him in prison. This

  166. Peter now sorry, and he delivered them Look at it

  167. to false squads of soldiers to keep him. False squads

  168. that's about sixty one squad forty to be on the

  169. watch this man.

  170. Keep him.

  171. Don't let him escape, because when he escapes, it is

  172. his life for your life. That's happened that the tailoren

  173. hallelujah to false squads. They will rotate or to keep him,

  174. intending to bring him before the people after pass over.

  175. What happened. Peter was therefore kept in prison.

  176. Now look at that highlighted but constant prayer was offered

  177. to God for him by the church, corporate prayer, when

  178. the church prays, When the church prays, Haleneluiah, Amen. The

  179. people who are struggling in our nest, the people who

  180. are bound, those find themselves in change.

  181. Those who have.

  182. Been deployed, I mean those on whose life Satan and

  183. his cause have deployed four squads of soldiers keep the Spain.

  184. Like I said, our children, hey, hey, hey, let's pray

  185. for them moon Amen.

  186. Every time I look at them. The first thing that

  187. basing her prayer. Pray for this pray because where we

  188. went then the struggles we went through, we don't want

  189. them to go through. Thank God that they are lucky.

  190. We dedicated most of them to God, and God would

  191. hear that cry some of us.

  192. Who are dedicated to demons in the sea. Hallelujah. And

  193. for parents, look, don't be on your knees. Stay. It's

  194. not over.

  195. Until they have grown. And now they have come to

  196. no Christ and they have been trained in war spiritual

  197. our alfare and can stand on their own and fight.

  198. But it is our duty as families, as pirits, and

  199. as a church to stand behind them. Halene lujah. So

  200. that you think that when you give birth does it no,

  201. But that's why we keep on that. We don't have

  202. a choice. Halene lujah. So we bring you to knowledge.

  203. We have to stay.

  204. That's why we always like to come alongside and to

  205. stay with you, and to pray with you, and to

  206. still until we see that you are strong and can

  207. help the other people that are coming the next generation.

  208. You don't just give Beth and then just sprawl them

  209. and then you live and go. That's why then we'll

  210. teach you that's why we are doing the finest and

  211. seek it to seek you out, call you out, because

  212. we want to see you stand there.

  213. That's how the kingdom works. There's a bedding.

  214. So the Bible says that prayer was constant. Prayer was

  215. offered to God for him by the church, for him

  216. by the church. Now let's look at what happened was

  217. that prayer are going to wait? And when where on

  218. was about to bring him out? That night Peter was

  219. sleeping Louiah bound with two look at preacher man, what

  220. what's what was preachers? Peter's a crime, Halley Louijah. He

  221. was bound with two chains between two soldiers. Mean and

  222. they change him, and they changing the soldiers too. So

  223. now when Peter moves, he would necessarily have to move

  224. with you. That's why I said there was the destiny.

  225. The wed of God had gone on over Peter's life.

  226. I will build my church and the gates of hell

  227. shall not prevail. Peter was being looked.

  228. Upon by God to if you like shepherd and guide

  229. the infant church.

  230. Now, yeah, he is, and he finds himself in prisoned

  231. in change for gas or soldiers two change.

  232. Who were watching him. So that he could execute him

  233. after they pass over. But that's the critic.

  234. I wan ba the.

  235. Church spraying for constantly corporate prayer, and the guards before

  236. he says bound with two chains between, and the guards

  237. before the door were keeping the prison.

  238. Now let's go to say. Now, behold an angel of

  239. the Lord stood by him.

  240. What he means that suddenly whilst he was in change

  241. the mindy said he was sleeping.

  242. Suddenly the prayer.

  243. Started working, and an angel of the Lord came and

  244. stood by him, and the lights shone in the prison,

  245. and he strucked it out on his side and raising

  246. up saying, all eyes quickly, and his change.

  247. Fell off his hand. In answer, God is answering the prayers. Hallelujah. Amen.

  248. Sometimes situations we find ourselves in situations where in church

  249. we find people bound, but we pray every day we

  250. are praying. God opened the eyes of the understanding. You

  251. think it wak, it will wake, hallelujah. Me and we

  252. are products of prayer. Everything you are saying is a

  253. product of a byproduct of our prayers, or directly because

  254. somebody decided to stand and pray and stand in the garp. Hallelujah.

  255. Nothing just happens before we can roll once service. Hey, hey,

  256. somebody must stand them. Somebody must stand them and be

  257. on the watch. Hey, we are being prayed. No, we

  258. are not tired every money. We are praying everyone. We

  259. are praying everyone. We are praying for our kids, everyone.

  260. We are praying for our cousin, our nephews, our nieces,

  261. our uncles. Not the church, oh, because we know what

  262. the devil can do giving the chance, and that the

  263. Bible says many are the afflictions of the riteous, but

  264. God brings the labor. So Peter, I don't know what

  265. was going on in Peter's head that day. Oh my God,

  266. say now God is asking and then he says, arise.

  267. Quickly and it's changed. It's changed. Change fell off during

  268. this ip ip. I know changes are going to be

  269. looking in the name of cheese. Every year we pray

  270. every year. How many years now, eighteen years or whatever?

  271. Ahma, shake in the kabaye God, there's a prayer answering God.

  272. We know what it has done.

  273. But it's a huge sacrifice. Even the breakfast. First, it's tough,

  274. isn't it, Because there are some moneys. You wake up hallelujah.

  275. Oh Jesus.

  276. Now look at let's go on, so the change that's

  277. fail the corporate prayer.

  278. Then the Angel said to him, get yourself and tie

  279. on your sand down, and so he did, and he

  280. said to him, put on your garment and follow me.

  281. Nine.

  282. So he went out and followed him, and did not

  283. know what was done by the angel was real, but

  284. thought he was seeing a vision. Hallelujah. And when you

  285. have those stupendous answers to prayer, sometimes you will think.

  286. That it's a miright some what is happening? Can it

  287. be true? Halleluh.

  288. But that's the hand of God, that's the power of God.

  289. So he went out and followed him, and did not

  290. know that what was done by the angel was real,

  291. but I thought he was seeing the visional look at faith.

  292. When they were past the first and the second God Post,

  293. they came.

  294. To the iron gate that leads to the city, which

  295. opened to them of its own accord. And they went

  296. out and went down one street, and immediately the angel

  297. departed from him Levin, And when Peter had come to him,

  298. he said, now I know.

  299. For setting that God has sent.

  300. His angel and has delivered me from the hand of

  301. herold and from all the expectation of the Jewish people, hallelujah,

  302. verse twelve. So when he had considered it, he came

  303. to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who.

  304. Said him was Mark, we have made me.

  305. Were gathered together pay even that, And when the live

  306. branch was caring, they were praying on your knees. See

  307. why constant prayer is very important. And asked Peter knock

  308. at the door of the gate. A girl named Rhoda

  309. came to answer. Now this is a very interesting part.

  310. When she recognized Peter's voice. Because of her gladness, she

  311. did not open the gate, but RANI And now the

  312. picture stood before the gates. But they said to where

  313. you are beside yourself. Yes, she kept insisting that it

  314. was so. So they said, it is it's angel. Harold

  315. has killed him, hallelujah, and his angel has appeared. I

  316. find it very interesting, hallelujah, because sometimes.

  317. I say, you pray, pray, praying, your duse pray.

  318. Look at then this was the doubting people. The thing

  319. that you are praying about, it does happened. And they

  320. said no, maybe they were expecting a certain way that

  321. you should do it. That's also another thing. Maybe Rod

  322. and these people will sit and then they.

  323. Will discharge you. That night that not happened before that night,

  324. God came, hallelujah.

  325. So rather, when the people woke up they were rather

  326. the soldiers who's were changed to Peter. They found out

  327. that they were rather changed. And the man that they

  328. were supposed to be changed towards nowhere to be found.

  329. And all the.

  330. Centries, the gods they were soon there the iron gates

  331. like me. So there you don't just I mean, hey,

  332. when God is intervening in your life, you break every chain.

  333. Halenlujah. The prison does will.

  334. Be opened in the name of Jesus answers to prayer.

  335. It didn't just happen. Nothing just happens. The church muspray,

  336. the church my spray. Look when we come together, Look,

  337. it take less access the prayer at times come, come, come, you.

  338. You can't do it, And Lord, you can't do it.

  339. And Lord, the fights that are stuck up the gates,

  340. you can't do it.

  341. And Lord, when you join the people of God and

  342. as we pray, there there's a wrap on annoying.

  343. We call it a rap on. If I said ion sharpness, ion.

  344. Maybe fire lifts up a bonfire, and then your prayer

  345. life will be ignited.

  346. Halen Loujah. Amen, So there's stays in your nurse. Sixteen.

  347. Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door

  348. and saw him, they were astonished. But motionly to them

  349. with his hand to keep silent. He declared to them

  350. how the Lord had brought him out of the prison.

  351. And he said, go tell these things to James and

  352. to the breath. And he departed and went to a

  353. corporate prayer. Can we do the individual one quickly? Let's

  354. read it. We know it, Ma'mahannah first time watch chapter one.

  355. Let's pick it up from verse eight. Oh my God,

  356. my race kaabah rally shaken enemy Tabaia. Now listen, this

  357. was also an individual and an amazing woman of God,

  358. our lave bear.

  359. He says.

  360. Then a kind of her husband said to her, we

  361. know about the story. No child first first? Is it

  362. first or second?

  363. Wife?

  364. We don't know, Halene Lujah. All that we know is

  365. that I kind of have two wives, Pennina and then Hannah.

  366. And Pennina had children, but Hannah had Nane because God

  367. that shut her room back and the Bible says, you

  368. kept on weeping and weeping and weeping and weeping, and

  369. then your kinda.

  370. Her husband said to Hannah, why do you weep? Why

  371. do you not eat? Take note? Why do you not eat?

  372. And why is your heart grieved? And might not better

  373. to you than ten sons? And Anna said, no, this

  374. is me. I'm the one adding it. Luah, my altitude

  399. After they have finished eating and drinking. Not only the

  400. prince was sitting on the seat by the dumples of

  401. the tipknackles of the Lord best ten and she was

  402. in bitterness of soul and pray to the Lord and

  403. wept in anguish when you desire something from God. So

  404. when you are first and you are weeping, isn't it

  405. that's another definition of prayer whiping before the Lord.

  430. Then she made a vow that's also very key. Then

  431. she made a bound and said, oh Lord of us,

  432. if you will indeed look on the afflection of your

  433. maid seven and remember me.

  434. Remember me, remember me, and not.

  435. Forget your may seven, I will give your maid seven

  436. and a male child. Then I will give him to

  437. the Lord all the days of his life, and no

  438. reason shall come upon He said, as I said, you're

  439. no teaching, just just giving you that. She won't go

  440. now to verse twelve. And it happened as she continued

  441. praying before the Lord, that Ellie watched her man. Now,

  442. Anna spoke in her heart. Only her lips smoothed, but

  443. her voice was not there. Therefore Allie thought she was drunk.

  444. So Elie said to you, how long will you be drunk?

  445. Put your wine away from you? How long every day

  446. you are denying yourself?

  447. Meuslem me? Can you guys you're first in How.

  448. Long until God answers it comes to? And that's what

  449. he has said, He's going to do it. And Anna said, no,

  450. my Lord, I am not drunk. I'm a woman of

  451. sorrowful spirit. I have drownk neither wine nor intoxicating drink.

  452. But I've poured out my soul before the Lord. I

  453. have burned my heart to him. That's prayer.

  454. That's one of my best deficis of prayer, pouring out

  455. your soul.

  456. And what happened?

  457. Do not consider your maid seven a wicked woman, for

  458. out of the abundance of my complaints and grief I

  459. have spoken until now. Then Ellie answered and said, go

  460. in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition.

  461. Which you have asked of him. We know it. So

  462. go to eighteen.

  463. And she said, let your may seven favor in your

  464. side so the woman went away. Now she's going to eat.

  465. Why she sends her lifting up in her heart and

  466. in the soul.

  467. She sends her breakthrough that day, and her face was

  468. no longer sach. So he went to eat now nineteen.

  469. Then they arose early in the morning and worshed it

  470. before the Lord, and returned and came to the house

  471. at Rama. Now that that's it, he said, And Kanda

  472. knew Anna his wife, and the Lord remembered, and the

  473. Lord remembered.

  474. Let's take the last verse twenty.

  475. So it came to pass in the process of time

  476. that Anna conceived and bought a sign and called his

  477. name samwell, because I have asked for him. An individual,

  478. corporate prayer, a company of people praying. Look at the scenarios,

  479. an individual praying.

  480. So the church is prayed by your true You must

  481. make time to pray.

  482. You must know how to pray. You must know when

  483. you should put food aside to pray. You must know

  484. when you must match before God in boldness.

  485. And in confident. God, remember me. It can't before God

  486. because you never know when need to be your time.

  487. And you hear her prayer, and.

  488. Like you said, God, remember me. And now It says

  489. that God remembered Head. God remember me and God remember Head.

  490. Rise up on you.

  491. God. Is a prayer to string God. Turn to somebody,

  492. say may God remember you. Can you minister to somebody

  493. for me and say God, may God remember you my mama?

  494. Ten one, two people you never know. God remember. I pray.

  495. I pray for those who are looking for children ma Satahbiah.
