GOT CHURCH? - 5

Acts 12: 5
Peter, therefore, was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing by the Church unto GOD for him.

POWER OF INTERCESSION

JESUS said that "if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father, who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18: 19, 20). We should not be surprised that a miracle follows the Church interceding for deliverance from prison, but the Disciples were astonished when Peter showed up at their door, having been delivered from prison.

Intercession is a powerful gift and tool for ministry.  Often the intercessors are not identified or seen, but their ministry is felt by those who are set free from sickness, bondage and suffering. These unseen intercessors are in unity with JESUS who is the Chief Intercessor.  When the Church humbles itself and prays and seeks the face of GOD, it is, spiritually, kneeling with JESUS before the Throne of Grace, praying for mercy.  When two or three are gathered together in agreement in the Name of JESUS, JESUS is in the middle of the gathering, hearing the prayers and standing with the intercessors, as the intercessors stand with Him; they are one in JESUS.

The Church at prayer and intercession is the powerful tool of GOD for the transformation of the world, that He loves. SHARPEN THE TOOL AND PRAY!

PRAY, CHURCH, WITHOUT CEASING UNTO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO MOVE MOUNTAINS!
