Praying with Power: Exercising your Heavenly Authority

Aug 3, 2025    Corey Saxton

Have you ever felt powerless in the face of life’s challenges? Pastor Corey reminds us through the story of Peter's miraculous escape from prison in Acts 12 that we possess an incredible authority through prayer. With Peter facing imminent death, the early church gathered to pray earnestly, not simply hoping for a religious moment but engaging in fierce supplication that shifted the spiritual atmosphere. Pastor Corey emphasizes that prayer is not a last resort but our first line of defense—a divine weapon against the principalities that seek to bind us. By illustrating how Peter prayed with confidence while chained to guards, he's calling us to exercise our own spiritual authority, transforming prayer from a passive act into a powerful confrontation with evil forces. This message resonates with the realities we face in our lives today, beckoning us to join together in prayer—not just for ourselves, but for our communities and loved ones. Now is the time to rise up and reclaim our spiritual keys! Are you ready to unlock the blessings God has waiting for you? Let’s commit to prayer and watch the impossible unfold before our very eyes!
