After the ascension of Jesus, persecution of the early church began to greatly increase. James, the brother of John was put to death by the sword and Peter was arrested with the intent of killing him also. But because it was the time of the Passover, Peter was placed in prison chained between two soldiers.
Peter in jail – Acts 12:6 “The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.”
The church was praying for Peter’s release and it was at night while Peter was sleeping that God did an unbelievable miracle. Peter didn’t even believe it himself at first. And when he went to the house where the church was praying for his release, they couldn’t believe it either.
God is ready to do the unbelievable in answer to the prayers of His people.
