This being Pentecost Sunday, let’s look at some of our rich heritage, which we are built upon, that came from some hot prayer meetings in the Book of Acts:
- The very first church was born from a prayer meeting in the Upper Room, the place where the disciples found strength in coming together after Jesus had just been crucified.
- God’s first appointed place to receive power was in a prayer meeting.
- Prayer is the power plant of the church. In any healthy church, you will find people praying.
- When we connect together, there is a special manifest presence of God, a special revelation of heaven, the body of Christ flowing together as they worship the Lord and build each other up.
- Great prayer meetings lift up the Lord and turn their attention toward the lost.
- It was in a prayer service in Antioch where the church received direction and the Holy Spirit said “Separate unto me Saul and Barnabas for the work of the ministry.” It’s when the first missionary journey took place. (Acts 13)
- Acts 3 Peter and John going TO the temple to pray (a daily appointment about the ninth hour) when the lame man was healed.

In Acts 10 – Cornelius was sent to Peter after he had the vision of the sheet – what God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. (Acts 10:15)

Romans 1:16-17 (NKJV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Hebrews 12:29 Our God is a consuming fire.
Mark 11:17 (NKJV) Then he taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations;?
