- 3:26Speaker 2: We appreciate y'all. We hope that you guys are getting
- 3:29Speaker 2: a lot out of the Book of Acts in on
- 3:33Speaker 2: this podcast, like your share in subscribing, let's go before
- 3:38Speaker 2: Father and prayer. Emily. Father, we thank you, Father God,
- 3:42Speaker 2: for another day that you've allowed us to wake up.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Thank you, Father God, for another day that you've allowed
- 3:48Speaker 2: us to fellowship with you and to seek your face.
- 3:51Speaker 2: We ask for your blessings, your power, and the knowing
- 3:54Speaker 2: tem to fall on this podcast. We ask, so God,
- 3:58Speaker 2: allow it to travel as far as you wanted to go. Father,
- 4:03Speaker 2: bless those that hear it. Father God, we ask go God,
- 4:07Speaker 2: oh Lord, that you will call out of people for yourself,
- 4:11Speaker 2: God ready and prepared for your return. And we asked
- 4:16Speaker 2: this in Jesus' name. Amen. All right. So now in
- 4:27Speaker 2: the Book of Acts, we see the first sign of persecution.
- 4:33Speaker 2: We saw a great and powerful miracle. We saw the
- 4:37Speaker 2: power of the Holy Spirit fall on the apostles. Now
- 4:43Speaker 2: you got to take the Book of Acts. You got
- 4:46Speaker 2: to look through the proper lens. Now the way that
- 4:50Speaker 2: you need to look at it is this book follows
- 4:54Speaker 2: after the Four Gospels, and then the four Gospels. We
- 4:59Speaker 2: saw how the disciples acted and behaved. You saw how
- 5:07Speaker 2: cowardly they were. They were hiding behind doors, hiding from
- 5:13Speaker 2: the Jews. They were locking the doors behind them. And
- 5:20Speaker 2: also Peter denies the Lord three times, and he was
- 5:26Speaker 2: afraid of a servant girl. But now the Book of Acts,
- 5:31Speaker 2: we see a totally different group of people. You see
- 5:36Speaker 2: them now empowered by the Holy Spirit. And this should
- 5:42Speaker 2: be us. Our story should be the same. You should say, Okay,
- 5:46Speaker 2: this is me before the Holy Spirit. This is me
- 5:53Speaker 2: now transformed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. You
- 6:01Speaker 2: should have the same exact story. So now persecution is
- 6:07Speaker 2: rising up, and let's see exactly how they handled it.
- 6:16Speaker 2: And twenty three, it says, and being let go, well,
- 6:21Speaker 2: let's back up. So they persecuted them, They warned them,
- 6:29Speaker 2: they arrested them, and they told them not to speak
- 6:33Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus. They tried to atimidate the apostles,
- 6:40Speaker 2: but they could not deny the miracle because the man
- 6:43Speaker 2: was over forty years old, so there was nothing they
- 6:46Speaker 2: could say or do to deny that a miracle had happened.
- 6:54Speaker 2: So as they warned them and persecuted them in verse
- 6:57Speaker 2: twenty three, and being let go, they went to their
- 7:00Speaker 2: own companies and reported all that the chief priests and
- 7:05Speaker 2: elders had said to them. Now, let's stop right there now,
- 7:19Speaker 2: They could have went hiding, they could have ran, or
- 7:23Speaker 2: they could have been defensive. Right, But they went to
- 7:29Speaker 2: their own fellowship. They went to their own group and
- 7:33Speaker 2: they deprieveed, they debriefed, and they processed the situation together.
- 7:41Speaker 2: This is why it's good to be in fellowship. You
- 7:44Speaker 2: need that support group. Right, They returned to their own community.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Now that was the first place. We need to take
- 7:55Speaker 2: our wounds and our winds. Right, we need to go
- 7:57Speaker 2: to our community. That's what we're doing. We're building that
- 8:00Speaker 2: up here on the podcast in the Life Chat. But
- 8:04Speaker 2: of course you need to build that up in your
- 8:07Speaker 2: home church. If you don't have a church, you need
- 8:11Speaker 2: to find a church. You can't throw the baby out
- 8:16Speaker 2: with the bathwater. Jesus started the church. Church is his idea,
- 8:23Speaker 2: and we can't say, oh, we're gonna do this thing
- 8:27Speaker 2: without the church. Now, yeah, there's good churches out there,
- 8:31Speaker 2: but there's bad churches, but there's also good churches. As
- 8:34Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit to send you to a good and
- 8:38Speaker 2: faithful church, right, don't isolate with your story. You need
- 8:45Speaker 2: to bring it to those who will pray and praise
- 8:48Speaker 2: with you. We need to be able to testify all
- 8:53Speaker 2: the good works that the Lord has done and is
- 8:57Speaker 2: doing Amen I Verse twenty four. So when they heard that,
- 9:05Speaker 2: they raised their voice to God with one accord and said, Lord,
- 9:10Speaker 2: you are God who made heaven and earth, in the
- 9:14Speaker 2: sea and all that is in them, who, by the
- 9:20Speaker 2: mouth of your servant David, said, why did the nations
- 9:24Speaker 2: rage and the people plot vain things? The kings of
- 9:29Speaker 2: the earth took their stand, and the rulers were gathered
- 9:32Speaker 2: together against the Lord and against his Christ. Amen. Now
- 9:40Speaker 2: this is good. I love to read the prayers in
- 9:44Speaker 2: the Word of God, and I love to pray the
- 9:47Speaker 2: prayers back to God and man. God loves to hear
- 9:50Speaker 2: his word and man now and Peter, I mean when John. Yeah,
- 10:03Speaker 2: Peter and John. When they left and they reported this
- 10:07Speaker 2: situation to the community, their immediate response was to pray.
- 10:14Speaker 2: It was prayer. You can say it was a corporate prayer.
- 10:17Speaker 2: It was loud, it was an emotionally charged prayer. And
- 10:22Speaker 2: their prayer was with one accord. It was passionate. They
- 10:27Speaker 2: go from crisis to victory through the power of prayer.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Do not neglect the power of prayer. A lot of
- 10:35Speaker 2: us go through stuff unnecessarily, or a lot of us
- 10:38Speaker 2: are defeated quick and easy, just because we don't have
- 10:43Speaker 2: a prayer life. That should be the first posture. God's
- 10:48Speaker 2: people don't panic. They prayed together, Hey man, and we
- 10:55Speaker 2: need this more than ever in this time that we're
- 10:59Speaker 2: living in right now and this generation. Amen. And then
- 11:08Speaker 2: in verse twenty five, they begin by praising and they
- 11:21Speaker 2: look at the sovereignty of God. When you pray, start
- 11:28Speaker 2: with truth, right, start with the foundation like they started
- 11:39Speaker 2: with the fact that God is the creator and the
- 11:46Speaker 2: fact that he was a creator, therefore he is in
- 11:49Speaker 2: control of all situation and circumstances. They started with the
- 11:53Speaker 2: fact that God created the heavens and the earth. Sometimes
- 11:58Speaker 2: we have to remind ourselves who our father is. We
- 12:03Speaker 2: have to remind ourselves who our daddy is. He is
- 12:07Speaker 2: the creator of the universe. Amen. And it says why
- 12:16Speaker 2: did the nations rage? In the people plot vain things.
- 12:20Speaker 2: The kings of the earth took their stand, and the
- 12:24Speaker 2: rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ. Wow,
- 12:31Speaker 2: this is madness, this is crazy. Do you realize this
- 12:36Speaker 2: world's system, this world system is against God as in
- 12:42Speaker 2: rebellion against God. Even David says, why did the nation rage?
- 12:54Speaker 2: Now this quote here is taken from Psalms chapter two.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Now it tells us that persecution is to be expected,
- 13:06Speaker 2: is not exceptional. Scriptcher will help us interpret world events
- 13:16Speaker 2: if we are faithful students. When the world rages, Guy's
- 13:21Speaker 2: word gives us the perspective on what is really going on.
- 13:29Speaker 2: And there's a lot of raging going on right now
- 13:33Speaker 2: in the world. Verse twenty seven, for truly against your
- 13:40Speaker 2: Holy Servant Jesus, whom you anointed both herod and conscious pilot,
- 13:46Speaker 2: with the gentiles and the people of Israel were gathered together. Wow,
- 13:56Speaker 2: they were all gathered together. I mean, look, this touch
- 13:59Speaker 2: is on politicians, this touches on religious rulers, even the culture.
- 14:12Speaker 2: All these forces inspired against our Jesus. It was a
- 14:20Speaker 2: universal The opposition just cross all lines. Opposition is often
- 14:29Speaker 2: coordinated across systems. But God's purposes is bigger than any coalition.
- 14:37Speaker 3: It looks like another one.
- 14:39Speaker 2: God's plan, God's purpose. We are on the winning side, Amen,
- 14:47Speaker 2: we are on the winning side. And verse twenty eight,
- 14:53Speaker 2: to do whatever your hand in your purpose determined before
- 14:59Speaker 2: to be done. Now, Lord, look on their threats and
- 15:04Speaker 2: grant to your servants, which all that with all boldness,
- 15:10Speaker 2: they may speak your word. Now look at this. In
- 15:17Speaker 2: this prayer, they give it over to God. They're telling
- 15:21Speaker 2: the Lord to look himself at their threats. They know
- 15:27Speaker 2: that the battle belongs to the Lord. And instead of
- 15:33Speaker 2: praying for protection, which there's nothing wrong with the praying
- 15:38Speaker 2: for protection, but I would be the first to admit
- 15:45Speaker 2: when our position comes against our family and our loved ones,
- 15:50Speaker 2: our church, and our body, the first thing we would
- 15:54Speaker 2: pray is for protection. But they prayed in verse twenty nine,
- 16:07Speaker 2: and the Lord look at their threats and grant your
- 16:10Speaker 2: servants that which with all boldness, they may speak your word.
- 16:18Speaker 2: When opposition started to increase and crank up, they ask
- 16:26Speaker 2: for more boldness, and we need to follow suit. We
- 16:31Speaker 2: need boldness in these last days are in today, love it.
- 16:38Speaker 2: It's not going to get easier. It's gonna get harder
- 16:42Speaker 2: to keep your faith and to walk in love. And
- 16:50Speaker 2: we're gonna pray for that before we end out this episode.
- 16:55Speaker 2: We need to pray for more boldness and boldness. For
- 17:06Speaker 2: what boldness to speak your word verse thirty by stretching
- 17:12Speaker 2: out your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders
- 17:18Speaker 2: may be done through the name of your Holy Servant Jesus. Hallelujah.
- 17:26Speaker 2: They're asking God to stretch out his hand to heal
- 17:32Speaker 2: and for more miracles, more signs, and more wonders in
- 17:38Speaker 2: the name of the Servant Jesus. Now, the Gospel is
- 17:42Speaker 2: not just word only. The Gospel is not just about
- 17:51Speaker 2: speaking correct doctrine or proclaiming what the Lord has done.
- 18:03Speaker 2: But what is to accompany the preaching and teaching is
- 18:07Speaker 2: manifestation of miracles, signs, and wonders. We are supposed to
- 18:14Speaker 2: be walking in power. As it said at the beginning
- 18:19Speaker 2: of this podcast, these men were different men before the
- 18:26Speaker 2: outpouring of the Holy Spirit. These men changed what happened
- 18:35Speaker 2: to them. Power of the Holy Spirit fell upon their lives.
- 18:41Speaker 2: And that we have access to that same power through
- 18:46Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, Amen, verse thirty one. And when
- 18:52Speaker 2: they had prayed, the place where they were as symbol
- 18:56Speaker 2: together was shaken. How is that for a miracle? Amen,
- 19:01Speaker 2: a sign in a wonder The place was shaken, and
- 19:07Speaker 2: they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they
- 19:11Speaker 2: spoke the Word of God with boldness. Look at how
- 19:16Speaker 2: God granted this prayer. We need to add this to
- 19:20Speaker 2: our prayer list. Amen, Everything they did. They did empowered
- 19:29Speaker 2: by the Holy Spirit. And as I reflect and look
- 19:32Speaker 2: back at my ministry and look back at my life,
- 19:38Speaker 2: did I go to the Holy Spirit first to get
- 19:40Speaker 2: empowered to do what God has called me to do?
- 19:45Speaker 2: And I I have to say not all the time.
- 19:49Speaker 2: A lot of the times I did things in my
- 19:51Speaker 2: own strength and my own effort. And I've seen things
- 19:55Speaker 2: done around me where people were using programs, their own strength,
- 20:02Speaker 2: their own effort. A lot of failed ministry or ineffective
- 20:09Speaker 2: We've done a lot of events where people didn't show up.
- 20:13Speaker 2: We've done a lot of podcasts, a lot of broadcasting,
- 20:18Speaker 2: a lot of things where you just don't see the
- 20:21Speaker 2: numbers that you expect to see. The question is was
- 20:31Speaker 2: it done in the power of the Holy Spirit? Amen? Amen,
- 20:40Speaker 2: we gotta ask. We got to ask these hard questions.
- 20:44Speaker 2: And I need to take this to the prayer closet. Amen,
- 20:49Speaker 2: Verse thirty two. Now, the multitude of those who believed
- 20:54Speaker 2: were of one heart and of one soul. Now the
- 21:00Speaker 2: altitude I remember they started at three thousand, and then
- 21:05Speaker 2: when persecution hit and went up to five thousand, you
- 21:09Speaker 2: got five thousand people, probably a little bit over that.
- 21:16Speaker 2: In one accord with one heart and one soul. Neither
- 21:22Speaker 2: did anyone say that any of the things he possessed
- 21:27Speaker 2: was his own. To look, selfishness goes out the door.
- 21:34Speaker 2: But they had all things in common. It's beautiful to
- 21:41Speaker 2: love and to share and to give. This is what
- 21:46Speaker 2: heaven is going to look like. If you want a
- 21:49Speaker 2: glimpse of heaven, look at the early Church. They loved
- 21:54Speaker 2: each other so much, the love of the Lord. All
- 21:58Speaker 2: things were in common. There was no competition, there was
- 22:01Speaker 2: no hating on each other verse eiry three. And with
- 22:06Speaker 2: great power, the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of
- 22:12Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus with great power. Where is that today?
- 22:18Speaker 2: Where is that today? Where can we find those who
- 22:23Speaker 2: will witnessed the resurrection of Christ with great power? And
- 22:30Speaker 2: great grace was upon them all. So with great power
- 22:36Speaker 2: came great grace. Hallelujah. These are the things. I'm really
- 22:48Speaker 2: pushing these, this portion of scriptures, because this is what
- 22:53Speaker 2: it's supposed to look like in our life. Amen, I'm
- 22:58Speaker 2: going to be fast, and I'm going to be praying
- 23:00Speaker 2: and for this power. And don't get me wrong, I
- 23:03Speaker 2: know what's happening is on the earth. It is you
- 23:07Speaker 2: just don't see it that much in the United States,
- 23:09Speaker 2: but in other countries the power of the Holy Spirit
- 23:13Speaker 2: is falling like crazy. And thirty four. Nor was there
- 23:19Speaker 2: anyone among them who lacked. Look at that the one
- 23:24Speaker 2: lacked for all who were oppressors of sorry, all who
- 23:34Speaker 2: were possessors of lands and houses, sold them and brought
- 23:39Speaker 2: the proceeds of the things that were sold.
- 23:43Speaker 4: It looks like you lost another one.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Now, if you had land, if you have property, you
- 23:49Speaker 2: sold it and you gave it all to the apostles
- 23:54Speaker 2: and laid them at the apostles feet, and they distributed
- 23:58Speaker 2: to each as anyone one had need. So this is
- 24:05Speaker 2: in the New Testament. I want to say this real quick.
- 24:12Speaker 2: A lot of people preach against tithes and offering, and
- 24:16Speaker 2: they said, it's an Old Testament thing t persent belongs
- 24:20Speaker 2: to the Lord. But here they gave all, if anything,
- 24:26Speaker 2: if you want to look at the New Testament, they
- 24:28Speaker 2: gave one hundred percent of their proceeds and laid it
- 24:33Speaker 2: at the feet of the apostles. If you want to
- 24:37Speaker 2: get technical, now, it's not required. It's not saying that
- 24:41Speaker 2: this is a requirement. It's not saying that they had
- 24:46Speaker 2: to give one hundred percent, but giving his second nature
- 24:53Speaker 2: to God. Even the gospel itself that God so lot
- 25:00Speaker 2: the world he gave his only begotten son. When God
- 25:03Speaker 2: has truly touched you and has truly done a work
- 25:06Speaker 2: in your life, the selfishness goes out the door, and
- 25:11Speaker 2: you become a giver. And they laid everything at the
- 25:18Speaker 2: apostles feet, and the apostles met the need. And there's
- 25:26Speaker 2: nothing wrong with ministries who meet the need. Our ministry
- 25:31Speaker 2: means sneeze. We've been giving out toys for the last
- 25:36Speaker 2: four years or the establishment of our organization. We've been
- 25:42Speaker 2: passing out toys. We give out food. Actually, I pick
- 25:48Speaker 2: up food from McDonald's every week, their breakfast materials, sandwiches
- 25:57Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and we're looking for places to
- 26:00Speaker 2: drop them off. Like they literally give me two bags
- 26:04Speaker 2: full of food, and we give some to our church.
- 26:09Speaker 2: We drop some off at a men's group, Victory Outreach
- 26:15Speaker 2: one of their homes there. But we have enough that
- 26:21Speaker 2: we want to bless some families and bless some places
- 26:24Speaker 2: and needs. So if you know of anyone who could
- 26:28Speaker 2: use some of this food, hit us up in a
- 26:32Speaker 2: life chat let us know. We would be happy. And
- 26:38Speaker 2: we're actually gonna be picking up more from other places.
- 26:47Speaker 2: We're gonna be picking up some bagels. So as an
- 26:51Speaker 2: opportunity opens up, we want to be a blessing to
- 26:54Speaker 2: the community and help meet the needs of others. That
- 26:59Speaker 2: helps us to open up the door to preach and
- 27:04Speaker 2: teach the word and to spread the gospel. Verse thirty
- 27:10Speaker 2: six and Josephs, who was also named Barnabas by the Apostles,
- 27:18Speaker 2: which is translated son of Encouragement, a levite of the
- 27:24Speaker 2: country of Cyprus, having land, sold it and brought the
- 27:29Speaker 2: money and lead it at the apostles feet a man.
- 27:38Speaker 2: These people were generous, some of these people were wealthy,
- 27:50Speaker 2: and some of these people wanted to support and sustain
- 27:58Speaker 2: the ministry that was going forth in the early Church.
- 28:19Speaker 2: See guy uses encouragers to sustain movements. Be generous with
- 28:30Speaker 2: your words and with your resources. Now, Barnabas his name
- 28:40Speaker 2: matches his gift. Encouragement and sacrificial giving go together. And
- 28:51Speaker 2: he was named Barnabas by the apostles. That's pretty interesting.
- 29:04Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting. The apostles saw something on his life
- 29:10Speaker 2: and they said, you know what, we're gonna call this
- 29:12Speaker 2: brother encouragement. That is awesome. All right, let's go to
- 29:21Speaker 2: a quick break.
- 29:23Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
- 29:27Speaker 4: is the hiss hop radio show.

- 31:47Speaker 5: No, we came for the lossos, not for no profit
- 31:50Speaker 5: or spot. That's colosso walking in the word. The apostles
- 31:53Speaker 5: interpreted the prophets how they see, but their eyes closed.
- 31:55Speaker 5: They ain't even know what they were describing a house,
- 31:57Speaker 5: so they ain't know them words bring life to a dying.
- 31:59Speaker 5: So now I got a r so hard little boy
- 32:01Speaker 5: trying to introduce the play that they got, little boy. Uh,
- 32:03Speaker 5: many messengers preach but did not make it. Many shepherds
- 32:06Speaker 5: of sheep but was not David. Didn't I teach, and
- 32:08Speaker 5: didn't I live in peace? Give to the poem week
- 32:10Speaker 5: scene on every black pavement. So when a boy I
- 32:12Speaker 5: really couldn't work a bunch of gold di because they
- 32:14Speaker 5: just would him for the perse the devil really working
- 32:16Speaker 5: over time, I'm trying to get plenty before the city,
- 32:19Speaker 5: and I hearst I had to go in the hiding.
- 32:20Speaker 5: But now I'm back and reviving. I can no longer
- 32:22Speaker 5: be silent with all that's happening. And when the Spirit
- 32:24Speaker 5: behind it to get me highest narcotics, my faith on
- 32:26Speaker 5: all the old pilot. When I be tapping in it,
- 32:28Speaker 5: I got all of the guidance and only God can
- 32:29Speaker 5: provide it. The Holy spirital invited me on that path again.
- 32:32Speaker 5: I'm coming back again with him demons, I don't see.
- 32:34Speaker 4: Him cuz.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Can't.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Alright, alright, we are back, and we just finished chapter
- 33:46Speaker 2: four of the Book of Acts. We saw the power
- 33:51Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit working through the apostles. We saw miracles,
- 33:55Speaker 2: signs of wonders which provoked Jello, seeing envy from the
- 34:02Speaker 2: religious leaders the rulers of the day, which got them arrested.
- 34:09Speaker 2: Threatened to be released, and it came back to their
- 34:15Speaker 2: own group reported the situation, and the Holy Spirit gave
- 34:22Speaker 2: them boldness to go even further as a witness for Christ. Amen.
- 34:29Speaker 2: We saw signs of wonders fall, and we see them
- 34:33Speaker 2: now giving all of their possessions, selling everything and leaning
- 34:39Speaker 2: it at the apostles. Feet. That's where we left off. Amen.
- 34:44Speaker 2: The song was our brother herring the lights way too
- 34:50Speaker 2: far to turn back. Now we cannot do this thing
- 34:54Speaker 2: in fear. Amen. Now it's time for the accountability partner segments.
- 35:04Speaker 2: This segment was put on my heart to do because
- 35:07Speaker 2: I see too many of us, as brothers and sisters
- 35:11Speaker 2: struggling in our faith, struggling with sin. We need to
- 35:18Speaker 2: get over it. We need to be victorious. We do
- 35:20Speaker 2: need to live a life of victory unto the Lord.
- 35:29Speaker 2: And I also want to change your attitude about it
- 35:31Speaker 2: because a lot of people they think that they can
- 35:35Speaker 2: sin and be okay with God at the same time,
- 35:38Speaker 2: which the Bible does not support that in any area
- 35:42Speaker 2: of scripture. Amen, is not okay to just sin and
- 35:52Speaker 2: keep sinning and keep falling in a cyclist sin. That's
- 35:55Speaker 2: where the accountability partner comes in. That's where you need
- 35:59Speaker 2: someone who can correct you, who can speak the Word
- 36:02Speaker 2: of God into your life, correct our thinking and our emotions,
- 36:07Speaker 2: our attitudes, our desires. A lot of people are falling
- 36:11Speaker 2: off the cliff because they gave their desires over to
- 36:15Speaker 2: the enemy. They've opened doors and they're playing with demon
- 36:18Speaker 2: spirits and they have no clue they have no idea. Amen.

- 41:35Speaker 2: on all platforms. Now, let's close this out together. Now,
- 41:46Speaker 2: there's some things we need to take away from this chapter.
- 41:49Speaker 2: First thing is pray first and act second. When we
- 41:54Speaker 2: come against opposition, when we come against these situations that
- 41:59Speaker 2: we will be confronted with, pray first, Act second, the
- 42:04Speaker 2: apostles immediate response the pressure was unified prayer. Then after
- 42:16Speaker 2: the unified prayer, then the power followed right. Also, boldness
- 42:24Speaker 2: is learned with Jesus. Time with Christ and time in
- 42:31Speaker 2: community produced courage to witness. When we spend time with Jesus,
- 42:38Speaker 2: that's our own prayer life. And we spend time with
- 42:42Speaker 2: the Body of Christ. That will help you to stay
- 42:48Speaker 2: bold as a bold witness for Christ. And generosity also
- 42:56Speaker 2: authenticates the gospel. When the church share, it's a sign
- 43:03Speaker 2: the Gospel is real a man. When the church is
- 43:09Speaker 2: generous and shares with the community, it's encouraging to the community.
- 43:20Speaker 2: And God uses threats to produce testimony. Opposition often accelerates expansion.
- 43:28Speaker 2: I've said that before that persecution causes the church to grow,
- 43:37Speaker 2: not to be fearful. Right, don't fear persecution. Now Acts
- 43:56Speaker 2: four closes with a clear picture. The prayer that results
- 44:02Speaker 2: empower people who share everything in a movement propelled by
- 44:09Speaker 2: bold testimony and radical generosity. That pattern should still work today.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Let's pray like they prayed, love like they loved, and
- 44:24Speaker 2: speak like they spoke. Amen. Now let's close out with
- 44:36Speaker 2: the prayer. The Heavenly Father become to you in the
- 44:41Speaker 2: mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. When we ask
- 44:48Speaker 2: for the promised Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who is
- 44:52Speaker 2: our confident, our teacher, our comforter. Also we ask for
- 44:59Speaker 2: a Holy Spirit power to fall on us, to fill us,
- 45:05Speaker 2: shake the room, and give us the boldness and courage
- 45:10Speaker 2: to be witnesses in these last days. Oh God, I
- 45:15Speaker 2: pray for everyone under the sound of my voice. Increase
- 45:18Speaker 2: our boldness, Increase our witness increase our courage. Oh Lord,
- 45:26Speaker 2: let us lay our lives down.
- 45:28Speaker 3: We are.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Dead to self selfishness. Open up doors for us to
- 45:37Speaker 2: be generous and to meet the needs of our community.
- 45:43Speaker 2: To authenticate what we preach and what we teach. We
- 45:50Speaker 2: ask for miracles, signs, and wonders to fall like they
- 45:55Speaker 2: did in the early Church. And we ask this in
- 45:59Speaker 2: Jesus Its name. Amen, hallelujah.
- 46:09Speaker 4: M hmm.
- 46:11Speaker 2: All right, y'all. Remember it's not about us, It's about
- 46:15Speaker 2: the crisis in us. Got blend.
