Jesus told the disciples, “Stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven” (Luke 24:49). Jesus’ word to the doubting disciples? Wait. So, as many as 120 souls huddle in the same house. They stay together, and most of all, they pray together. And God opened the floodgates on the greatest movement in history.
Desire power for your life? Then wait in the right place—in a place of prayer. Power will come as you pray. Think of prayer less as an activity for God and more as an awareness of God. Acknowledge his presence everywhere you go. We can only wonder what would happen if we did what the Upper Room disciples did– wait on the Lord in a place of prayer.
