In Just A Few Short Years

In Acts 2, a murderous spirit had overtaken that society. In addition to that, they were occupied by a foreign nation called Rome. One hundred twenty people with no power, no political authority, no army, gathered in an upper room in unity to pray. They were there to see the risen Christ glorified, and they each felt that they were called to preach the gospel. As they began to pray, God’s Holy Spirit began to fill the room. Each of them was given power, ability, and courage that natural people just don’t have. They stepped out of that upper room, they went into the public square, and in just a few short years, even the nation of Rome bent its knee to the presence of Jesus Christ. When the church walks together in unity, when the church begins to pray, the presence of God is released, society begins to change, and miracles begin to happen. Oh God, help us to pray again. It’s time to pray.
