What do we do now?

"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."

Acts 4:31

********************************************

So here we go, Peter and John have just returned from being brought before the Sanhedrin for preaching the name of Jesus. They received many threats. So what did they do?

Three things:

1. They gathered with other believers.

This shows the importance of attending Church. Remember the book of Acts was the beginning of the new church. Matthew 18:20 says that "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

2. They Prayed.

They prayed. Read Acts 4:24-30. Prayer is the most important part of sharing our faith. We can't do anything on our own. Today would be a great day to pray for God to give you a divine encounter with someone that needs to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. Then after you pray that, pray for Him to speak through you.

3. They set out again.

How many times have you backed down from sharing your faith because of the fear you might get made fun of or picked on? These men faced real fear, fear of being killed for their beliefs. Notice that the verse above doesn't just say they spoke the word of God, but they spoke it boldly. Meaning that they didn't back down or give in to peer pressure. They were willing to put everything on the line.

I hope that everyone has a blessed day. Keep your eyes open for those opportunities to show someone the love of Christ. See you Sunday!
