Superhumans

Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,  by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

And when they had 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.

Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.  And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked....(Acts 4:29-34)

There is a reason why those of the early Church seemed so superhuman....prayer and unity!  Prayer was a common and everyday . . . all day thing. They prayed together and shared life together . . . even money and supplies. No one lacked anything! This was done without government programs by the way! The Church was one!

Why are we weak and ineffective today? Why are we so shy when it comes to things of God? Why do we lack confidence in Christ . . . lack faith? Prayer and unity are key! For God's power to operate in and through us, we must be connected to God and one another. It was evident within the apostles and it is what Jesus pleaded for before going to the cross. (John 17)

The world and its lusts are our kryptonite! The closer we become go the world, the weaker we become. Draw nearer to God and fellow believers. Lets once again shake this world!
