Patty ValenzuelaHOST
And that's why mature healing doesn't begin with whose fault it is.
Patty ValenzuelaHOST
It begins with, what is this? When you look at Acts 12, it gives us another powerful picture because Peter's actually in prison, and he's chained between two soldiers.
Patty ValenzuelaHOST
His life is in danger.
Patty ValenzuelaHOST
Peter is just sleeping.
Connor MacIvorHOST
His humiliation follows.
Connor MacIvorHOST
Acts 12 tells of Herod accepting the crowd's praise, and his was the voice of a God and not a man.
Connor MacIvorHOST
Judgment follows.
Connor MacIvorHOST
Romans 1, verse 25 describes the human exchange that sits beneath idolatry, worshiping and serving the creature rather than the Creator.
CurvinHOST
Do not measure what God can do by what you are able to see right now.
CurvinHOST
In Acts 12, a prison that looked secure was not strong enough to stop the purpose of God.
CurvinHOST
And there is another important detail in this story.
CurvinHOST
While Peter was in prison, the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

Have you asked, have you asked Claude what the funniest bits are?
Dan MoylanHOST
I mean, Rhoda in Acts 12, as you all know.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Joe Rhoda.
Dan MoylanHOST
Uh, Peter escapes prison and knocks at the door.
John HagedornHOST
Other examples in the New Testament are the angel who secured Christ in the garden and the angel who delivered St. Peter from prison.
John HagedornHOST
In Acts 12-12-15, after Peter had been escorted out of prison by an angel, He went to the home of Mary, the mother of John, also called Mark.
John HagedornHOST
The servant girl, Rhoda, recognized his voice and ran back to tell the group that Peter was there.
John HagedornHOST
However, the group replied, It must be his angel.
David GuzikHOST
Matter of fact, let's talk about earnest prayer.
David GuzikHOST
And I want to read to you from Acts chapter 12, verse 5, where we read this.
David GuzikHOST
Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.
David GuzikHOST
In Acts chapter 12, it was a critical time for the church.
David GuzikHOST
The first of the apostles had just been martyred, James, one of the closest companions of Jesus, one of the three, Peter, James, and John.
David GuzikHOST
Herod wasn't satisfied to kill James only.
David GuzikHOST
Peter trusted in Jesus's promise that he would not die until he was old.
David GuzikHOST
Jesus made that promise in John chapter 21.
Russell JohnsonHOST
The four great movements of the church are mere images of the four great movements of Jesus Christ.
Russell JohnsonHOST
Now, the reason why I tell you that is because I'm preaching out of Acts 12 today.
Russell JohnsonHOST
And Acts 12 takes place, hear me, about 12 years after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, which is the birthday of the church.
Russell JohnsonHOST
Now I just told you in two weeks, we're about to celebrate our 12 year anniversary.
Russell JohnsonHOST
I'm preaching out of Acts 12 this morning, which is taking place 12 years after the start of the church in the upper room on the day of Pentecost.
Russell JohnsonHOST
And if you ever get around to reading the early chapters in the book of Acts, you will be struck by what a wild 12 years it has been.
Russell JohnsonHOST
The church starts in an upper room with 120 people getting baptized in the Holy Ghost.
Russell JohnsonHOST
And over the next number of chapters, what you become aware of is that exactly what Jesus said would happen is now happening.
JonathanHOST
It chronicles how this message that he had began, this message of, of love and grace, how it began to spread.
JonathanHOST
And so in Acts 12, we find this amazing, funny, cool story.
JonathanHOST
Says this in verse one.
JonathanHOST
It says: About that time, King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church.

JonathanHOST
All I want you to hear me say is to keep praying.
JonathanHOST
When you're struggling, when you're struggling with what God is building, keep praying, because he hears your prayers, and he's about to hear the prayers of this church.
JonathanHOST
H- verse six of Acts 12 says, "The night before Peter was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers.
JonathanHOST
Others stood guard at the prison gate." Do you know what's amazing to that, a- about that to me? He's asleep.
Daniel RayHOST
In fact, God fulfills his purposes through the nations.
Daniel RayHOST
I want to go to Acts 12, too, because I think this is wonderful.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
Peter is in prison.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
Okay? When you're
Daniel RayHOST
The jail is inside a courtyard.
Daniel RayHOST
There's multiple levels you've got to break out of.
Daniel RayHOST
And Peter's in chains, right? So in Acts 12, 7, Peter says, the Bible says, Behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a light shown in the cell, and he struck Peter's side and woke him up.
Daniel RayHOST
Hey, get up quickly.
JoeGUEST
The church began to pray because when he disappeared, we started mobilizing prayer from our partners in India.
JoeGUEST
And all around the world that we know to begin to pray for him and just really found comfort, I think, in Acts 12 where Peter was arrested and the church prays.
JoeGUEST
And the church was praying.
JoeGUEST
That's right.
JoeGUEST
That's
Todd NettletonHOST
right.
Todd NettletonHOST
That also was from Acts 12.
Todd NettletonHOST
They're like, no, it couldn't be Peter.
