BREAKTHROUGH PRAYER POWER POINTS:
1. Breakthrough prayer starts with unity.

Acts 2:1 (NIV) 1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
When God’s people agree in prayer, Heaven responds in power.
2. Breakthrough prayer invites God’s power to the situation.
Acts 4:31 (NIV) 31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
Acts 12:5–7 (NIV) 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 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. 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.
When we pray, God’s power breaks what’s been bound.
3. Breakthrough prayer produces boldness.
Acts 4:29 (NIV) 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
Acts 16:25–26 (NIV) 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.
Prayer gives you courage to walk where fear once stopped you.
4. Breakthrough prayer brings change.
Acts 4:33 (NIV) 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all.
Prayer doesn’t just change things it changes us.
