Intro
Unpack and inform of the context and situation of the time.
We are asked not to share the Gospel
Everything around us and the people around us would not like to hear the gospel.
In fact, the people around us that look like they need it the most are the ones that often don’t want it at all.
There can be a high price to pay for sharing the gospel.
“Other Believers” there was a community of people that trusted in the Gospel.
There is power and protection in community.
Community implies unity.
Prayer is the answer to Persecution.
The first thing that the church did upon learning of the conditional release of Peter and John was to pray.
They prayed to the God of the universe
They prayed expectantly, looking for God’s hand not for personal comfort.
They prayed scripture!
They Prayed for Strength, not Different Work!
The church prayed that God would give them the boldness to proclaim the Gospel, not that the Gospel would be easier to share.
They asked that God would continue to work, understanding that the work of God was opportunity to share.
God uses humans to share his Gospel.
We should be telling others about Jesus, not just bringing them to church and hoping something happens.
God answers prayer
It’s easy to think that God just listens and doesn’t care, but God is faithful to listen and answer our prayer.
Sometimes it’s a yes, sometimes it’s a no.
But God is apart of our prayer life.
Not a spectator.
When God answers prayer, we should do something with it.
God filled them with the Holy Spirit.
They were emboldened.
They went and continued to share the Gospel at threat of being thrown in jail.
When we pray that God would embolden us to share the Gospel with our community, we should do something with that Boldness.
No one drinks coffee to sleep, we shouldn’t pray for boldness to be afraid of action.
The Family of God is a safe space for the Persecuted.
John and Peter had a tough day.
They were able to come to the community of their church and “vent”.
Unified Prayer has Weight
We often want to keep our prayers simple, or we think to pray only for non-eternal things.
But Prayer is so much more!
When God answers OUR prayer WE should act.
Peter and John brought something to the body, the body prayed, the body had their prayer answered, the whole body continued to share the gospel.
