The Believers Pray for Courage

1.

Today's Passage: Acts 4:23-36


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).





2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.



3.

29th Strategy.
Called to Evaluate Our Choices


  • Enter your time with the LORD in prayer.
  • Read the entire passage.
  • Does the passage call for an evaluation of choices made? If so, stop and re-read that section one time.
  • Continue through the entire passage.
  • After reading the passage through one time, go back and re-read the section calling for an evaluation.
  • Would the choices you are facing in your life today be similar to the choices in the passage.
  • Write them down on a sticky note, or underline them in your bible.
  • Whatever you are being prompted to evaluate, write it down. (This will be a great source of strength for years to come.)
  • Take these choices to the LORD. Ask Him to give you clarity on how to move forward. Remember that there are clever people int he world that would lead you astray.
  • Tell Him you desire to make wise choices and you know you need His guidance.
  • Ask God to broaden your vision for the passage.
  • Thank Him for His guidance and praise Him for His words.
  • (I encourage you to write down what God shows you.)


23. As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said.
24. When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God: "O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them ⏤
25. you spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant, saying,

'Why were the nations so angry? Why did they waste their time with futile plans? 26. The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the LORD and against his Messiah.'

27. "In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed.
28. But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will.
29. And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.
30. Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

31. After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.

32. All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.
33. The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God's great blessing was upon them all.
34. There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them
35. and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need.

36. For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas (which means "Son of Encouragement"). He was from the tribe of Levi and  came from the island of Cyprus.
37. He sold a field he owned and brought the money to the apostles.
Acts 4:23-36 NLT
