Acts 4....a 2fer

Today is a 2fer kind of day....meaning 2 little things jumped out at me today from Acts 4. Woohoo!!!

The first is in verse 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."  Can you imagine??? The room SHOOK!!! What would happen if we expected that to happen when we prayed? That we actually trusted in our prayers and things come truly happen from them. What amazing signs and wonders could we see in our lives if we only put more faith in our prayers???
And then on top of that, AFTER they prayed, and AFTER the room was shaken, they went out into the world and spoke BOLDLY of what God did for them. Again, what if???  What if we all spoke boldly of our God and all He has done for us.  I am not saying we have to walk around thumping our bible, or screaming out the gospels at the top of our lungs....but we CAN tell people our story.  It doesn't have to be all holier than thou, or a huge spiritual story....but just tell people what He has done in your life, how He has been there for you.... and then they will want to know more about our amazing Father.

The bonus bit I picked up in Acts 4 today was in verse 32, "All the believers were one heart and mind."  WOW...how great would that be??? I know not everyone in the world will not get along, there will never really be world peace....but in the least shouldn't all of us in church be able to get along? Stop poking at each other? Start sharing with each other? Stick up for each other? Stand in the gaps for each other? Help each other out, sometimes even when it's not necessarily needed or asked for? Always love on each other?

And that's how I see it today.
