2 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
3 When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. 5 So Peter was kept in prison...
5 1. Prison is whatever holds you captive, preventing you from being and doing all that God desires.
6 a. For Peter, prison was a literal building with real soldiers guarding him.
7 a. For Peter, prison was a literal building with real soldiers guarding him. b. For you or someone you love, it may not be physical, but is just as real.
8 2. The Bible speaks of being captive to a. Sin For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin. -Acts 8:23
9 2. The Bible speaks of being captive to a. Sin b. Deception See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy... -Colossians 2:8
10 2. The Bible speaks of being captive to a. Sin b. Deception c. The devil come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. -2 Timothy 2:26

12 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
13 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.
14 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
15 Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him.
16 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.
17 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
18 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating."
19 1. God is our strong deliverer! a. He delivered Israel from bondage to Egypt.
20 1. God is our strong deliverer! b. He delivered His faithful from the lion s den, the fiery furnace, and other types of oppression.
21 1. God is our strong deliverer! c. Jesus delivered us from sin and guilt.
22 1. God is our strong deliverer! d. He can deliver you now from the things that bind you!
23 2. Part of the job description of Jesus is to proclaim freedom for the prisoners.
24 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord s favor.
25 3. Our freedom was won by his death on the cross.
26
27 1. We are engaged in warfare, and one of our chief weapons is prayer!
28 1. Note from Acts 12:5b: but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. - Acts 12:5b
29 1. Note from Acts 12:5b: a. but : Prayer is the difference maker. but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. - Acts 12:5b
30 1. Note from Acts 12:5b: a. but : Prayer is the difference maker. b. the church : There is power in the prayer of agreement. but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. - Acts 12:5b
31 1. Note from Acts 12:5b: c. earnestly praying : More than a mental ascent; they were serious! but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. - Acts 12:5b
32 1. Note from Acts 12:5b: d. to God for him : Their faith was in the Lord, and their request was specific. but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. - Acts 12:5b
33
34 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.
35 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door. 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, "Peter is at the door!"
36 "You're out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel." 16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.
37 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the brothers about this," he said, and then he left for another place.
38 1. Peter s deliverance was beyond what those who were praying imagined.
39 2. God often blesses beyond the reach of our faith if we put what faith we have to work! Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine - Ephesians 3:20
