Friday 4th September 4 2009 Amazing.

Just now a good friend and myself are engaged in Bible reading. We are reading around 14 chapters of the Bible each week, or there abouts.
This week it is Acts chapters 1-14.
Acts chapter 4:24-31, the believers prayer is a truly remarkable prayer.
Look in particular at verse 24: "And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:"
Can you imagine that? They are all in one place. Peter and John have just been up before the Sanhedrin and have been released. And then this prayer. Did they all say the same words? This says they did. At least to me it does. What convinces me? Look at verse 31. The place where in they were, was shaken. Now that's powerful. I have been in corporate prayer before. And yes, it's powerful. But not like this. And we didn't all say the same words in unison it suggests was done here. Or maybe I am reading more into the passage than is here?
I am going to let you, the reader, ponder this one and make up your own mind.
And no, I don't think it was a liturgical prayer such as we have in our beloved St Luke's in down town Frankston.
