A little Company of People in Prayer will do a Great Work

Tip! If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and want to know for sure that you are a child of God, then I would like to invite you to earnestly pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart.

"Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey. And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers." (Acts 1:12-14 NKJV)

God can find hiding-places for His people. They made prayer. All of us who are God's people must be praying people. It was now a time of trouble and danger for the disciples of Christ; but if any of us are in trouble or worried, we must pray; that will silence the cares and fears of life.

The disciples had now been told to do a great work, and before they could start it, they had to be earnestly in prayer to God for His presence. They were waiting for the descent of the Holy Spirit, and so they developed in prayer together.

Those of us that are in the best frame to receive spiritual blessings are those who are in a praying frame of mind. Christ had promised shortly to send the Holy Spirit; that promise was not to do away with prayer, but to reinforce and encourage it.

A little company of people who are united in love and are exemplary in their conduct as will as fervent in their prayers, and wisely enthusiastic in promoting the cause of Christ, are likely to develop rapidly together.

Like a husband and wife or friends meeting together in prayer and waiting on the Holy Spirit to move in them. Read on in Acts and see what this small group of people did with the Holy Spirit.
