SUDDENLIES - fear has gripped some of you about your future and for you there seems to be no hope with no answers, no sense of destiny. Maybe that is where you are at right now.

God is a miracle working personal God and nothing is too hard for Him. He delights in impossible situations so He can turn up SUDDENLY and answer your prayers. He does hear your cry, and He has never left you, and your destiny will still come to pass as you trust in your loving Heavenly Father

Have you ever been in a situation and felt there was no way out.

You find that no matter where your mind takes you there is absolutely no solution – to the natural mind that is.

Maybe that is where you are at right now.

You have lost your job with no obvious signs of another one and your bank account is diminishing and you’re worrying how you can make ends meet.

Or maybe you are in an unhealthy relationship which is causing you great emotional pain.

Or maybe sickness has been plaguing you for some time.

Fear has gripped some of you about your future and for you there seems to be no hope with no answers, no sense of destiny.

All of those scenarios are very grim and real to many BUT GOD!

Yes, unless God intervenes because of His love and concern for you, the future would seem very troubling.

I want to encourage you with this story of Peter in Acts 12.

Peter could identify with you, and I suspect your situation could look more hopeful than Peter’s.

Peter was arrested and put in prison as a believer, for sharing his faith.

He had four soldiers guarding him and he slept between two soldiers and was bound to them with chains.

There were also guards in front of the prison door.

But the back story is believers had met to fervently pray for him.

SUDDENLY an angel of the Lord appeared and shone a light into his cell and commanded him to get up quickly and to gird himself and put on his sandals.

Immediately HIS CHAINS FELL OFF.

Then the angel told him to wrap his cloak around himself and follow him.

You might ask, how would he get out of the prison?

THE GATE OPENED BY ITSELF.

He went straight to where his friends were praying.

Although they were praying, they obviously couldn’t get their head around the fact that Peter could get out of prison as when he arrived, they thought he was his angel.

Even though they would have been praying for his release, they could not believe that he was actually out of prison and on their doorstep.

Isn’t that so much like us when facing impossible situations?

We pray and find it hard to see an answer?

But God saw their heart and their desire for Peter to be free and answered their prayers despite their unbelief.

So why not you?

Why wouldn’t our loving God answer your prayers?

He is a miracle working personal God and nothing is too hard for Him.

He delights in impossible situations so He can turn up SUDDENLY and answer your prayers.

He does hear your cry and He has never left you, and your destiny will still come to pass as you trust in your loving Heavenly Father.
