Acts 4:31 When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.
We continue with our story of what life was like for the disciples just after Easter, in the early days of them forming this new organization called "church." They gathered together to pray, to give thanks to God for deliverance and to ask for God's protection and help against various enemies that surrounded them.
And what a prayer it was! "When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken." The promise of God is that when we pray as the church, the world shakes. It may not be literal and physical... no - it's much more powerful than that! Ask Dr. King. Ask Dietrich Bonnhoeffer. Ask the people of God who have seen God's deliverance for thousands of years. When we pray, the world shakes.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
