“It Is True!”
Sunday, September 7, 2025Key Verse
“And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.” Acts 12:9
Text —Acts 12:8-11
Message
It’s not a vision, it is true! When God does marvellous things, it goes beyond ourunderstanding. It was beyond the expectation of Peter the Apostle, and even that of the Church that was praying for his release that God could work that way. He never believed, considering where he was kept, that anyone on earth could deliver him from the anger of Herod and the hatred of the people of the Jews. Hear the statement of Peter when he came to himself: “And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent His angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.” (Acts 12:11) God still delivers today, you only need to trust God.
He will not allow the expectation of those who wish you evil to come to pass. But you must pray and be watchful. A prayerless life exposes you to evil and harm. And when you pray, believe that God is able to help you and He will surely deliver you from all harm.
