When God Decides to Intervene

Text: Acts12:1-10 

More Lessons Psa.105:13-15

When God decides to intervene in your matter, no amount of satanic or human activity can hinder Him. The story of Peter’s release from Herod’s dungeon proves this very clearly. The security measures that Herod put in place against Peter’s escape was so strong it would have been humanly impossible for any man to attempt breaking the jail to rescue Peter. They include the following: Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and the keepers before the door kept the prison. Then the first gate, second gate and the iron gates were firmly secured.

All these not withstanding because God decided to intervene, the chains and the gates opened of their own accord to Peter and the angel. The angel never had to address the chain nor the gates, they only had to pass, When they were past the first and the second gates, they came to the iron gate that led into the city; which opened to them of its own accord. They went out, passed on to the first street and forthwith the angel departed from Peter (Acts.12:10). That is the way your iron door will open of its own accord today. When God decided to intervene at Jesus’ grave, He took no man’s permission.

The Bible says, So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch Matt.27:66. However, all that became a wasted effort when Jehovah intervened. For the angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it (Matt.28:2). What a mockery of human security! Just one angel rolled away the stone and sat on it. Every road block over your progress is today rolled away, in Jesus’ mighty name. All the accusations of Portipha’s wife against Joseph for which he was jailed were not strong enough on the day of God’s intervention in Joseph’s situation. The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and set him free Psa.105:20. Even so, all the evil accusations against you shall no longer be able to stop you from today because Jehovah will intervene.

God’s requirements for His divine intervention are clear 1. Righteousness, Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people Prov.14:34. 2. Trust in the Lord, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee Isa. 26:3.
