FAITH CAPSULE: God shall visit you with change like a dream.

Acts 12

With God, stagnation turns to motion, mockery into a miracle, frustration transforms into celebration, and failure gives up for victory to have its place. 
With God, no captivity shall remain not be delivered. 
The persistence of your captivity does not matter when God extends His outstretched hand of deliverance. The children of Israel were in the bondage of over four hundred years when God acknowledged them by sending His hand of deliverance. Be encouraged and know that God’s intervention does not have to be announced but will renounce every plan and purpose of the enemy. 
Peter, in his captivity, death was hanging on him, was shut up; chains held him down, and he probably had given up by sleeping instead of waiting on God. 
Peter was not aware of the deliverance plan of God for him.
The ones who kept Peter in prison had no idea of the deliverance power of God.
It was a challenge that called for trusting God. 
While deliverance was in place, Peter was not with himself. “And when Peter had come to himself, he said, ‘Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the Jewish people.’” (Acts 12:11) 
Delivering the power of God is the most definite and reliable because, by strength, no man can prevail except God. 
Are you looking for a way out of where you are looking up to?
Look to God, repent, and ask Him to move for you.
God is a faithful God and will never let His own down. 
God alone can deliver from captivity that is holding anyone down. 
It is like a dream as God brings one out of captivity. 
It is written, “When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.’” (Psalm 126) God will not only deliver you from captivity but will lay down every mark of destruction on every agent of your captivity. When Peter was led unto freedom by the hand of God, “… there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter. But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.”(Acts 12:18-19) 
God is capable by His capacity to deliver from captivity. 
Hold on to God.
Your story will soon change for good.
When you experience your change from being tied down to free, it shall be like a dream. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the outstretched hand of God for your deliverance.
