Beyond your faith

Read Acts 12:1-17 Prayer is taken too lightly nowadays. It seems that this same problem was evident in the Bible as well. In this story we find Simon Peter imprisoned and awaiting his public trial and execution (King Herod Agrippa planned to do Peter away in the same manner as Jesus Christ). But the people of the city prayed for him. This prayer didn't go unheard by God, who no doubt sent the angel to set Peter free. Peter thought he was dreaming,and unaware he was in the middle of another move of God. When he came to, he found himself a free man. What better time than this to show yourself to your fellow brothers in Christ, right? I love how the Bible says that the believers were gathered together in prayer when Peter arrives. Upon hearing news that Peter is there they call the servant girl who brought the news "out of her mind." Isn't funny how you can be praying for a move of God, and doubt its occurring? You see that same problem today, when someone would nonchalantly say "I'll pray for you," and whether they do or don't there's no real belief behind their words. When you say you'll pray for someone, be sure to take the time to do it, God will move beyond your faith.
