—PRISON BREAK—
Acts 12:1-7
“Herod stretched out his hand to harass the church”
Herod is only an instrument that is used by Satan, who is influenced and controlled by demonic powers, *Eph.6:12*
And the reason is because a revival was breaking out of epic proportion! Multitudes were being saved, signs, wonders and miracles were performed by the hands of the Apostles, the arch enemy of the church had just been converted and now in chapter 10 the Holy Spirit has fallen upon the gentiles and they are being baptized in the Holy Spirit!
“I Thank God He Is Not A Respecter of Persons”
(1 Cor. 1:27— Acts 10:34)
“You have hidden these from the wise and the prudent and reveled them to babes”
—Show me your degrees—
I’m not looking for your bachelor’s degree!
I’m not looking for you’re doctorate degree!
I’m not looking for your theology degree!
I’m looking for your “BWJ” degree! (Acts 4:13)
And Herod stretched out his hand toward the church!
“Constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church”
—THE LOST ART OF THE CHURCH IS PRAYER—
The Lord didn’t say if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, sing, dance and fall out in the spirit!
(2nd Cron.7:14—Luke 11:1—1Peter 4:7—Matt.21:13)
Not a house of programs, politics, preachers or pancakes
I.H.O.P (International House of Prayer)
Were going to see a Prison Break happen when we begin to pray.
<LET’S TAKE A MOMENT AND DO THAT RIGHT NOW>
There are multitudes slipping into hell even as I speak.
The drug addicts, prostitutes, homosexuals, unsaved church members, family members and your own children can come out of that prison of bondage and sin if you begin to pray!
—Hell The Prison House of Despair—
—PRISON BREAK—
Acts 12:7
“An angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shown in the prison”
*Isaiah 60:19*
You will no longer need to look to natural resources of this world any longer. X-2 you will no longer need to look to CNN, NBC or CBS for your forecast, for the Lord will be your light and bring you up out of that dark prison of discouragement & despair.
—Prison Cell—
V.7 “Arise Quickly” and his chains fell off”
Notice, when he stood up the chains fell off! X-2
God is calling us to take our STAND in this hour! *Eph.6:13*
Sustained Throughout And Never Defeated
When we take a stand we are sustained throughout any storm, valley, crisis, hardship and are never defeated because we are standing upon the Rock of Christ! X2 Psalm 40:1-2
“And He set my feet upon a rock”
The Lord says “This is where you stand upon My word, in prayer, in faith, believing, hoping, trusting, enduring and always looking to me the author an finisher of your faith the lover of your soul!
(Galatians 5:1)
People are falling because they’re not standing! X-2
Falling back into sin, into addictions, into carnality ECT...
In The World of Compromise
When I was in prison a pastor came into my prison cell and smuggled me in a key. The key did not come hidden in a cake filled with icing; it did not come hidden in the back of a photo album, and it didn’t come to me smuggled from a trustee in the library. The Pastor cleared every security, every guard post and every metal detector made it into the center of the prison and handed me the key!
Matthew 16:19
“And I Will Give You The Keys To The Kingdom of Heaven
