About that time King Herod Agrippa[a] began to persecute some believers in the church.  He had the apostle James (John’s brother) killed with a sword.  When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter. (This took place during the Passover celebration. Then he imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover.  But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.  Peter’s Miraculous Escape from Prison.  The night before Peter was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate.  Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, “Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists.

Acts 12:1-7 (NLT)

One of the major challenges of life is to remain confident and assured about who you are, whose you are, and what you believe.  Our belief, faith, is critical to our ability to Open Up The Way of our lives to that which should be, thus, having confidence and assurance in what you believe should be for your life positions you to break the gates, life’s challenges and flow in God’s promises.  Your position must be one in which you Free Yourself from any and all things that would hinder you from pressing forward in what you believe should be.  Stop focusing on your haters, the people, places, and things that have no interest in assisting you in pressing forward in what should be, spend your energy on who and what you believe should be.  As you focus on what should be for your life, you are freed from others’ expectations for and from you to God’s intervention in your experiences, transcending all things so you can inherit all things for your life and life more abundantly.
