Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Saturday 10:30pm - 12:30am (UK time)

•       Peter was one of the first followers of Jesus. As soon as Jesus met him, He changed his name from Peter to Cephas, a rock.

•       He had a profitable fishing business.

•       Jesus officially called Peter to follow Him, after producing a miraculous catch of fish.

•       For the next three years, Peter lived as a disciple of the Lord Jesus.

•       He was impetuous, rash, impulsive, almost reckless; he spoke and acted without thinking most  the time.

•       Received revelation from God one minute, the next receiving inspiration from Satan.

•       Although Jesus said Peter was a rock, looking at his life when Jesus was alive and in the immediate aftermath of His death, Peter was more of a reed blown this way and that way.

John 21:3

Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

•       Peter experienced Calvary, yet…

•       Peter was evacuated of his old life at the cross, yet…

•       Peter’s name was changed to be the rock, yet…

•       The church was to be built through God’s revelation to him, yet…

•       Peter was told, “He is risen, I have seen Him; He said I should come and tell you and He mentioned your name specifically,” yet…

Something happened to Peter before he could fulfil the prophesy of Jesus upon him.

THE HOLY GHOST, THE DAY OF PENTECOST FULLY CAME AND HE WAS BAPTISED.

Acts 2:14

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

Acts 3: 6-8

Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

Acts 4:19-20

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

Acts 5:29

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Acts 8:14-17

Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

Acts 10:44

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

•       Jesus’ promise that Peter would be foundational in building the Church was fulfilled in three stages:

•       Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost.

•       Then, he was present when the Samaritans received the Holy Spirit.

•       Finally, he was summoned to the home of the Roman centurion Cornelius, who also believed and received the Holy Spirit.

•       In this way, Peter “unlocked” three different worlds and opened the door of the gospel to Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles. 

•       Peter was very critical, crucial and vital in God’s plan for His own generation.

Prayer Points

•       There are rods like Peter allocated for revival in Europe. Where are they, O Lord, where are they?

•       Some may need restoration and reassurance like Peter. Lord, please if they need to catch fish until the net breaks, then do so.

•       Some need encouragement and inspiration. Lord, if you need to bake hot bread and fish for them to show them that they do not need to fish all night anymore, please do for them.

•       Some may need to see their risen Saviour again. Lord, please show them Yourself; restate the gospel in their lives; show them what happened to them at the cross again.

•       Holy Ghost, please fish them out; please go after them to where they have gone a fishing.

•       Holy Spirit, you know them; you know their address; you know their state. Please chase after them, pursue them until they are captured.

Peter opened the door of three different nations to the gospel after the HOLY GHOST happened to him. Please let us ask for an outpouring of the Holy Ghost.  We cannot move away from Him, He is the revivalist.

•       Pour down Holy Spirit in an unprecedented way that our generation has never seen before.

•       Holy Ghost, please come again. Lord, dig the lives of Your Peters. Evacuate them so there can be space and capacity for the Spirit of Christ,  the Holy Ghost to fill them to overflowing.

•       Holy Ghost, do it again. Do it again, we beseech you. O Lord, do it again, come for us, come again for Europe.
