Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
Acts 12:5-7
At Eagles Rest Church, our Prayer Ministry is dedicated to lifting up the needs of our community and believing together for God’s divine intervention.
In Acts 12:5-9, we witness the transformative power of prayer as the church interceded fervently for Peter while he was imprisoned. Their unwavering faith moved God to send an angel who freed Peter from chains and led him to safety. This story reminds us that prayer is not just a ritual but a powerful connection to God, capable of breaking chains, opening doors, and working miracles.
We believe in spending time in prayer as a church every week because it strengthens our faith, unites us in seeking God’s guidance, and allows us to intercede for our community. Through prayer, we grow closer to God and experience His peace and power in our lives.
