A Prayer of Power

SCRIPTURE
Acts 4:29-31
29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."
31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

OBSERVATION
When the church in the book of Acts got together, they prayed. And when they prayed, the Holy Spirit showed up!


APPLICATION
Pray together with the church and ask the Lord for power. He will respond with the Holy Spirit's empowerment!

PRAYER
Lord, this morning, I ask that you would teach us how to pray bold prayers together with the Body of Christ. We need your power, we need your courage and we need your wisdom to walk in the midst of a godless generation. Fill us with your Holy Spirit so that we might speak Your Word boldly! Amen.
