Commentary on Acts 12:5
The church's response to Peter's imprisonment—'prayer was made without ceasing'—demonstrates corporate intercession as primary spiritual warfare. The Greek 'ektenos' (earnestly/without ceasing) indicates intense, persistent prayer. This contrasts human helplessness with divine power accessed through united prayer.
