PRAYER IN THE CHURCH JESUS STARTED

The early Christians followed the example of Jesus. The church that
Jesus started prayed a lot. The secret to the explosive growth of the
church in Acts was the constant flow of intercession that was offered up
before the Lord. The church was launched in Jerusalem out of a ten day
prayer gathering. (Acts 1:14, 24) It was in their genetics. That prayer
meeting swept three thousand people into the kingdom of God in one
day. “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship,
in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.” (Acts 2:42, emphasis mine)
