read acts 4:32
wow. years later, and that is one of the ways that luke’s sources describe the early church… all the believers were one in heart and mind. that is one of the goals for the 30 days of prayer, to all get on the same page. we were very intentional in repeatedly using the term ‘unified’ to describe our core values because that is one of the identifying characteristics that makes a church a church. and only God can make that happen. these believers were not always one in heart and mind. at the cross Jesus was abandoned and denied by the very men and women we so highly revere in the book of acts. there was chaos and division among them, but when the Holy Spirit took control, he brought them together… and the impact they had on the world is still felt today.
† today, pray that God would make this happen in us… that we would be described as “one”

Father, only You can make us one. Only You can mesh our hearts and lives in a way that glorifies You. We desire You - we desire Your transforming power to recast our lives into all that You have planned for us. We desire to be unified - we desire to be of one heart and one mind - for we are united by the Blood of Christ. We desire to be pierced by the truth and beauty of Your love. Let it be displayed in our lives for all to see - for Your glory and Your Kingdom.
In Jesus' name - AMEN
