15th strategy.
Imagine

• Prepare your heart - that means ask Him to open you to be able to listen well.
  
• Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
• Imagine the characters in this passage.
• Are they facing a large enemy? or a challenge?
• Have they followed God? or have they fled from His guidance?
• Are they trusting God?
• Are they experiencing pain, or loss?
• Imagine them as friends.
• What would you do if you were there beside them?
• Would you be willing to encourage them?
• What would you do if you were experiencing their story?
• Who would you turn to for guidance? God? A mentor? Satan?
• Ask God to show you how to lean on Him in times of attack, or challenge.
• Thank God for His presence with you right now.

1. About that time King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church.
2. He had the apostle James (John's brother) killed with a sword.
3. When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter.
(This took place during the Passover celebration.)
4. 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.
5. But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.
Acts 12:1-5 NLT
