You are more Powerful than You Think!

You're More Powerful Than You Think!

We all know that Peter, a Disciple of Jesus was a fisherman. However, when Christ ascended and The Holy Spirit came upon the disciples and the church was born, those who received were powerful.

Think about it, before Christ, Peter was a nobody, but now he has the full attention of Herod and when Herod has him arrested for proclaiming The Gospel of Jesus, he places Peter in jail under heavy guard:

"Then he imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover. But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him." (Acts 12:4-5)

Again, Peter a fisherman, has a total of 16 guards assigned to keep him bound and confined. What was Herod so afraid of? Herod, the same as Satan, knows that if Peter (and you and I), ever gets free that we will destroy the works of the enemy preaching, teaching, reaching, snatching, pulling, clawing, rescuing and praying people from the grips of the evil one!

When we operate in the Will and Power of The Lord, there is absolutely nothing that can stop us! So when you are feeling outnumbered, overwhelmed and are wondering why so much is opposing you...know that it is because the enemy knows what will happen when you get free.

The last part of that verse 5 says that The Church prayed earnestly and when you continue reading the story, you'll discover that indeed Peter was freed and walked out of Prison to continue his work!!! So today know that The Church is praying for you....BE RELEASED!!!
