Purity brings power - Audio

The Lord purified the church through the taking of Ananias and Sapphira, which brought power and unity. Subsequently, there were many signs and wonders, and people came from all over to be healed. Once again, the authorities arrested the Apostles - all of them. While in prison, an angel of the Lord set them free and told them to continue preaching, which they did. Called before the authorities once again, the apostles said they needed to obey God rather than men. Finally, Gamaliel convinced them to let them go. If it was of men it would come to nothing; if of God, they couldn’t be stopped. They were beaten and released – praising God that they were counted worthy.
