Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.

Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.

I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

Even before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.

It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will listen.

“ It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

He continued,“ Do not be afraid, Daniel. You decided to get more understanding. You made yourself humble as you worshiped your God. Since the first day you did those things, your words were heard. I have come to give you an answer.

Here is what we can be sure of when we come to God in prayer. If we ask anything in keeping with what he wants, he hears us.If we know that God hears what we ask for, we know that we have it.

So I tell you, when you pray for something, believe that you have already received it. Then it will be yours.

You will call out to me for help. And I will answer you. You will cry out. And I will say,‘ Here I am.’“ Get rid of the chains you use to hold others down. Stop pointing your finger at others as if they had done something wrong. Stop saying harmful things about them.

He will call out to me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in times of trouble. I will save him and honor him.

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. They were bold when they spoke God’s word.

Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me.”

I was speaking and praying. I was admitting that I and my people Israel had sinned. I was making my appeal to the Lord my God. My appeal was about his holy mountain of Zion.While I was still praying, Gabriel came to me. I had seen him in my earlier vision. He flew over to me very quickly. It was about the time when the evening sacrifice is offered.He helped me understand. He said,“ Daniel, I have come now to help you know and understand these things.You are highly respected. So as soon as you began to pray, the Lord gave you a message. I have come to tell you what it is. Here is how you must understand the vision.

Turn to the Lord before it’s too late. Call out to him while he’s still ready to help you.

Then I admitted my sin to you. I didn’t cover up the wrong I had done. I said,“ I will admit my lawless acts to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Cornelius answered,“ Three days ago at this very hour I was in my house praying. It was three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood in front of me.He said,‘ Cornelius, God has heard your prayer. He has remembered your gifts to poor people.Send someone to Joppa to get Simon Peter. He is a guest in the home of another Simon, who works with leather. He lives by the sea.’

I will get up and go back to my father. I will say to him,“ Father, I have sinned against heaven. And I have sinned against you.I am no longer fit to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’So he got up and went to his father.“ While the son was still a long way off, his father saw him. He was filled with tender love for his son. He ran to him. He threw his arms around him and kissed him.

So Peter was kept in prison. But the church prayed hard to God for him.It was the night before Herod was going to bring him to trial. Peter was sleeping between two soldiers. Two chains held him there. Lookouts stood guard at the entrance.Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared. A light shone in the prison cell. The angel struck Peter on his side. Peter woke up.“ Quick!” the angel said.“ Get up!” The chains fell off Peter’s wrists.Then the angel said to him,“ Put on your clothes and sandals.” Peter did so.“ Put on your coat,” the angel told him.“ Follow me.”Peter followed him out of the prison. But he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. He thought he was seeing a vision.They passed the first and second guards. Then they came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself. They went through it. They walked the length of one street. Suddenly the angel left Peter.Then Peter realized what had happened. He said,“ Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent his angel. He set me free from Herod’s power. He saved me from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”When Peter understood what had happened, he went to Mary’s house. Mary was the mother of John Mark. Many people had gathered in her home. They were praying there.Peter knocked at the outer entrance. A servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.She recognized Peter’s voice. She was so excited that she ran back without opening the door.“ Peter is at the door!” she exclaimed.“ You’re out of your mind,” they said to her. But she kept telling them it was true. So they said,“ It must be his angel.”Peter kept on knocking. When they opened the door and saw him, they were amazed.
