Good morning dear ones!
Acts 4:33 says,
- “And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And GREAT GRACE was upon them all.”
We all know some basic facts about what GRACE is really all about, for example, we all know that we’re saved by GRACE through faith (Ephesians 2:8), but do we know the real power it can release in our lives today?
The early church was being threatened by the religious leaders in Acts chapter 4, and so they prayed in verse 29 and said,
- “Lord, look on their threats, and grant to your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word, by stretching out Your Hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the Name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.”
It goes on to say in verse 31 that:
- “when they had prayed, the place was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirt and they spoke the Word of God with boldness”.
Finally, we get to verse 33 and it says that:
- “with GREAT POWER the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of The Lord Jesus and GREAT GRACE was upon them all.”
God’s GRACE was so powerful that when the believers received it, 2 things happened:
1.) the whole building shook and
2.) it enabled the apostles to work many signs and wonders among the people (Acts 5:12).
God’s grace is powerful and is available to you and I today!
Thanks for reading,
