Acts 12:1-17
Big idea: Our unceasing prayers to God unleash the unconquerable power of God to accomplish the unstoppable work of God
When a church prays earnestly:
1) God shows up, so we pray with confidence (v. 1-11)
3 parts of an earnest prayer:
a. Passion
b. Purpose
c. Persistence
2) God breaks through, so we follow in obedience (v. 6-12)
3) God does the unthinkable, so we pray with perseverance (v. 10-17)
2 realities of persistent prayer:
a. Sometimes you have to keep on knocking faithfully
b. Sometimes you have to open the door in faith for your answer
