House of prayer , continued
“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; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.”
Acts 4:31-35 NKJV
* The sequence of events was as follows; 1. They prayed, 2. The place shook,3. They were filled with the Holy Spirit.
* In a house of prayer there is an abundance of the power of the Holy Spirit.
* We can not therefore gather in the house of prayer and not experience the power of the Holy Spirit.
* The mark of the house of prayer being immersed in an atmosphere of prayer is:
* 1. Boldness (which allows believers to speak in-spite of opposing opinions or situations; this boldness is fuelled by the power of the Holy Spirit)
* 2. Unity in heart and mind. (The power of the Holy Spirit acts as a binder and uniter of the believers assembled in fellowship)
* “Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.”Romans 15:7 NKJV
* 3. Sharing (The Holy Spirit breeds compassion leading to sharing of all things)
* “Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” Acts 2:44-45 NKJV
* The Holy Spirit can not allow you to fellowship with believers who lack while you have access to plenty- He works within the hearts of the believers in a house of prayer.
* There is no lack in the house of prayer.
* Those who enrich the poor will be enriched.
* “Those who live to bless others will have blessings heaped upon them, and the one who pours out his life to pour out blessings will be saturated with favor.”Proverbs 11:25 TPT
* Helping others is part of the package of salvation- prayer will cause you to have a heart for the things which are in the heart of the Father.
* 4. No needy persons. (The presence of the Holy Spirit removes poverty and lack but this only comes from the house of prayer)
* The house of prayer equips believers to live victorious lives.
* 5. Great power, great grace and great blessings.
* When a church is a house of prayer led by the Holy Spirit there is the presence of grace, power and the Holy Spirit.
* The Lord Himself adds the number of people who are being saved to a church that represents Christ well and is a house of prayer. Those who persist in prayer and display the characteristics of a Holy Spirit led church automatically draw people to themselves.
* We are called for God’s people. A growing church is a social church. Love must be displayed and lived.
* We must have one heart and one mind.
