THE ASSURANCE OF PRAYER
The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit after prayer and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:32-37 We see how the people were moved in heart and mind in that they now believe and their hearts were changed. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit opened their hearts and minds toward each other;
Acts 4:32-33
32 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.
33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.
(NKJV)
God's Word moves with power and grace, also working through those that had looked out for others in need. This is how the Holy Spirit built the Church and how God moved among His people. These people were being moved by the His filling of them with the Spirit.
Acts 4:34-37
34 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,
35 and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,
37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
(NKJV)
