When Peter Was Freed By The Angel!


‘When Peter Was Freed By The Angel.’
Acts 12:12-17.
a) Acts 12:12. The first place he went to was the house of Fellowship, Prayer and Familiarity.
b) Acts 12:13-15. The folks inside could not believe that it was Peter. (In their minds he was in jail and they had to pray fervently for him, BUT God had answered their prayers already)
c) Acts 12:16. Peter continued knocking and they finally opened the door. (Sometimes we need to keep knocking)
d) Acts 12:17. Peter:-
1- Mentioned to the people in the house to be quiet.
2- He told them how the Lord had led him out of prison.
3- He gave them instructions.
4- He left for another place.
(I learn from this QT: When Peter Was Freed By The Angel)

‘A Day In The Courts Of The Lord’s House.’
Psalm 84:10.
a) A single day in the Courts of the Lord’s House is better than a thousand days anywhere else.
b) I would rather be a gate keeper in the House of my God.
c) I do not want to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
(This Second one gives me the desire for A Day In The Courts Of The Lord’s House)

After being in the restricted environment of the prison, the first place that Peter went to was the House of Fellowship, Prayer and Familiarity. We need to have that kind of place to go to. Maybe it is a local Church, a fellowship group, an “open home” of Believers who serve hospitality for those people who need it, or anywhere similar to these. That is why hospitality is such a vitally important part of our lives.
