The Church heard the threats from the Sanhedrin, warning them not to talk about Jesus anymore. Their first response was to go to God in prayer.

[music] Welcome to the Craig T. Owens Audio Blog with Craig's blog posts in audio format to go. Craig's new book, When She Bite, is available now at CraigTowens.com. Not that other stuff, but prayer. The church heard the threats from the Sanhedrin warning them not to talk about Jesus anymore. Their first response was to go to God. When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. Acts chapter 4 verse 24. Not signing a petition or organizing a protest, but praying. Not telling their friends to gain support, but praying. Not attacking, but praying. Not discussing, but praying. Not strategizing, but praying. Not complaining, but praying. Not individually, but together. Not later, but immediately. Not going through the motions, but passionately. Not aimlessly, but guided by Scripture. Not humdrum, but expecting God's power from on high. Not for vengeance, but for a testimony. God answered the church powerfully. Then the people moved out boldly, and when they prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts chapter 4 verse 31. Oh, for this type of unifying action today. It starts with prayer. Craig's new book, When Sheep Bite, is available now at CraigTowens.com, which is also where you can get in touch with Craig. Read more posts and access the huge library of resources he's gathered.
