Get the Door

Acts 12:11–17 NIV84

11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.” 12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door. 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!” 15 “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.” 16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James and the brothers about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.

1. God still answers prayers

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever more

Don’t give up on your prayers

Pray without ceasing

2. Expect answered prayers

When you pray, expect an answer

If you don’t expect answers then you are wasting time

If you don’t expect answers then you don’t believe God can

God is able to do exceedingly

3. Your answer is knocking, Get the Door!

Don’t miss your answer because you didn’t get the door

You need faith to hear the knocking

You need faith that your prayer is answered

Go to the door

Get the door

4. Open the door to your miracle

Remember, prayer is not complete until there is action

Open the door to your prayer request

Ask and it will be given

Seek and you will find

Knock and the door will be opened

5. Get the Door!

Your healing is waiting

Your provision is waiting

Your raise is waiting

Your new house is waiting

Your new job is waiting

Your promotion is waiting

Your miracle is waiting
