Together
Read Acts 1.12-14
“.. they all joined together constantly in prayer ..” (Acts 1.14)
The impact of Jesus’ death, resurrection and exaltation was felt immediately: the disciples were found together, gathered together as the start of a new and renewed humanity under the Lordship of Jesus. Corporate prayer was how this was expressed.
Joining with fellow believers to pray was a foundational feature of the early church: how is this given expression in your fellowship?
They were praying in anticipation of the promise of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 1.4f): do you pray fervently with others for the Spirit’s work among you?
Prayer: ‘Pour out Your Spirit from on high, Lord, Your assembled servants bless: graces and gifts to each supply and clothe Your priests with righteousness’ [J Montgomery]
