The disciples returned to the city of Jerusalem as Jesus had commanded.

The disciples…
As Jesus commanded, they returned to the city of Jerusalem…
They decided to wait instead of returning to their hometown of Galilee.
…The apostles, other disciples…and the women…
They remained in a room on the second floor rooftop of Jerusalem… and prayed together in one heart 🛐
…They probably didn't understand the meaning of the words, “to be baptized by the Holy Spirit”…🤔.
…They prayed with one heart.
…Our church, too, by uniting in prayer for healing and liberation…
We are experiencing God’s wonderful work.
…As the church unites in prayer and proclaims God’s word, the power of the Holy Spirit explodes 💥❗️.
…We pray that our church will become a model for churches throughout the country 🙏

For that purpose…workers are sent to our church from various countries and regions❗️.

…Those who receive them are welcoming them, not complaining or gossiping…
“Treat strangers with hospitality”
…following the Bible's commandment…
…the beauty of having one heart… will manifest as a result.
…God is surely expecting a great revival to occur, with a rain of the Holy Spirit!
…Don't leave Jerusalem…
Don't leave God’s temple…the church, and let us pray and hope together until the heavy rain comes!

Shalom 😄
