Acts 6 - Praying God's Word

Please read Acts 6.

Meditate on verse 10.

But they were unable to cope with the wisdom

 and the Spirit with which he was speaking.

If you have been reading the chapters that accompany these devotionals, you are reading Luke’s account to Theophilus (Acts 1:1-2) about all Jesus began to do and teach, until the day He was taken up to heaven (the book of Luke) and all Jesus did through the disciples in the power of the Holy Spirit to build His church (the book of Acts). Acts 6:7 described this amazing church growth:

The Word of God kept on spreading;

and the number of the disciples

continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem,

 and a great many of the priests

were becoming obedient to the faith.

That is a good verse to pray over the church today.

Acts 6 also contains Godly characteristics of those chosen to serve in the church. Pray those characteristics from Acts 6:3, 5, 8, and 10 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, let ________ and me be of

good reputation, full of the Spirit,

and full of wisdom. 

Put us in charge of Your tasks.

May we be full of faith and the Holy Spirit.

Fill us with Your grace and power.

May we, like Stephen, speak with wisdom and the Spirit.

In Your name, Jesus~”
