THE APOSTLES

In one of these meetings as he was eating a meal with them, he told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you what he promised.”

ACTS 1:4

The second mark of the church is found in the disciples who received His Spirit and were called to be His witnesses.

What was there in these disciples that enabled them to have such powerful, effectual prayer? They were simple, uneducated men with many faults, whom the Lord had called to forsake all and follow Him. They had done this as much as they could. Though there was much sin in them and so far they had no power to completely deny themselves, their hearts were committed to Him. Even though they stumbled, they still followed Him to the cross. They shared with Him His death; unconsciously but in reality, they died with Him to sin and were raised with Him in a new life. It was this that prepared them for the power in prayer.

Have we surrendered to the fellowship of Christ’s sufferings and death? Have we crucified our own life and received the power of Christ’s life in us? If so, this will give us freedom to believe that God will hear our prayer and give us His Holy Spirit to work in us. Above everything, we seek that intimate fellowship with Him that will enable us to pray the prayer of Pentecost and receive its answer.
