21 Days of Fasting and Prayer - Here as in Heavenنموونە

What Happens When the Church Prays

Thousands of people fasting and praying together are setting the stage for God’s miraculous power, unlike what we have ever seen before. There is something powerful in the number of people fighting spiritual battles together. In Acts 12, we see a fantastic miracle resulting from the church praying together.

In your journey of prayer and fasting, you are realizing more and more just how powerful prayer is. It’s exciting to think about how you aren’t the only one fasting and praying during this time – countless others are doing the same thing.

Verse 5 says, “But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.” In response to their earnest requests, God not only protected Peter from the coming sentencing, but he exceeded their expectations through a miraculous escape. We see in verses 7-10 that a supernatural prison break took place where an angel led Peter past multiple prison guards, the city gate opened all on its own, and no one could see him as he left. Verses 12-17 show how even the believers were shocked and unsure it was Peter when he showed up at the house where they were praying.

All of this is because the church earnestly sought the Lord.

Not only should this encourage you to continue to fight off the physical cravings for greater spiritual breakthrough, but it should also build your expectations and faith because when the church prays, the power is exponential.

So be encouraged because we are all earnestly seeking the Lord together, and our prayers are not only being answered, they are exponentially powerful. God is bringing breakthroughs in ways we can’t even imagine.
