Acts 12 – Prayer in God’s Playbook is a deep dive into Acts 12 where we look at the importance of Prayer in God’s Playbook. What is prayer? Why should I pray? Does prayer really make a difference? The apostle Peter is thrown in prison and faces imminent death, but the church prays for him. Listen to the miraculous story of Peter’s deliverance and the vital role prayer plays in our life as we participate in God’s Kingdom through prayer.  Acts 12 – Prayer in God’s Playbook will give us more understanding on how God uses answered prayer to increases our faith as we study His word and follow His ways. 

 

 

 

What is Prayer?

• Our Response to the Knowledge of God
• Two-way Conversation with God

What do we pray?

• Love & Adoration
• Repentance
• Earnest Cries for Help

The Apostle James wrote: “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.  Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.  Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.  Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.  And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.”
