- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry KNACKI
- 0:04Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. The door
- 0:09Speaker 1: is about to open. Acts twelve and four says after
- 0:14Speaker 1: Herod arrested Peter, he put him in jail and handed
- 0:18Speaker 1: him over to be guarded by sixteen soldiers. Herod planned
- 0:24Speaker 1: to bring Peter before the people for trial after the
- 0:28Speaker 1: Passover feast. King Herod was against the early Church, having
- 0:34Speaker 1: already killed the apostle James and now imprisoning Peter. Y'all,
- 0:40Speaker 1: Herod had assigned sixteen soldiers to guard one Peter, chaining
- 0:47Speaker 1: him between two guards and setting two guard stations and
- 0:51Speaker 1: a huge iron gate at the prison entrance to make
- 0:54Speaker 1: sure he didn't escape. Well, just like King Herod assigned
- 1:00Speaker 1: soldiers to hold Peter back, there will always be people
- 1:04Speaker 1: in circumstances that try to keep you behind closed doors,
- 1:08Speaker 1: to hold you back. There are forces assigned to try
- 1:11Speaker 1: to stop your purpose. Don't let them. Here's the good news.
- 1:18Speaker 1: The forces that are for you are so much greater
- 1:21Speaker 1: than the forces against you. You may have times when
- 1:25Speaker 1: you feel like you're being held back, when you feel imprisoned,
- 1:29Speaker 1: so to speak, when you feel like you're outnumbered when
- 1:33Speaker 1: the odds are against you. But God will do like
- 1:37Speaker 1: he did for Peter and open doors that no man
- 1:41Speaker 1: can shut. The enemy may have put you behind a
- 1:45Speaker 1: door of sickness or trouble or addiction. You feel bound,
- 1:48Speaker 1: like you can't get free, there's no way out. But
- 1:52Speaker 1: let me encourage you. Your time is coming. God wouldn't
- 1:56Speaker 1: have let that door close if he didn't have a
- 1:59Speaker 1: way to open it it. Get ready for the door
- 2:02Speaker 1: to be opened in your life. God is about to
- 2:05Speaker 1: heal you. God is about to promote you. Oh yes,
- 2:08Speaker 1: God is gonna favor you and bless you right in
- 2:11Speaker 1: front of the ones who try to keep you bound.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, thank you that you reign over kings
- 2:19Speaker 1: and over nations, and you reign over all the situation
- 2:23Speaker 1: in our lives as well. Thank you that people in
- 2:26Speaker 1: circumstances do not have the final say so over our lives. God,
- 2:30Speaker 1: we declare that you are greater than anything and anyone
- 2:34Speaker 1: that comes against us, and that we are standing in
- 2:37Speaker 1: faith for our doors to be opened in the name
- 2:41Speaker 1: of Jesus. Now that's your word for today. I want
- 2:46Speaker 1: you to take that, apply that to your everyday life,
- 2:49Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired. Right here,
- 2:54Speaker 1: it's your early body in praise party. I am Sherry
