Heavens. Two Intersecting Realms. Earth. Our call is to release heaven on earth.

“Contradiction is the petition of creation to its co-kings to release heaven into its reality and release it from frustration and futility. Your trial is a prayer, not from you to God, but from creation to you, its Redeemer.”
  Tommy Miller 

The Community Is Formed. The Community Moves Out. The Community Has A Message.
The Community Meets Resistance. The Community Prays. The Community Is ONE.

The Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God. Satan never knows from what direction he will come. A. W. Tozer

“I’m not impressed with anyone’s life unless they have integrity. But I’m not happy with their life unless they are dangerous. As much as I have the ability to do so, I’ll not let those around me get away with just being nice people!” Bill Johnson

Acts 4:24 “So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said:”

1. Magnify The Lord “You are God who made heaven and earth.”
2. Reframe The Threats “Why did the nations rage, … plot vain things?”
3. Put A Demand On Boldness “Now, Lord, … grant to Your servants that with all boldness”

All Boldness:
A. To Speak Your Word 19:20 “…the Word of the Lord grew and spread and intensified, prevailing mightily.”
B. To Release Healing 5:16 “They were all healed.”
C. For Signs And Wonders 5:12 “Many signs and wonders were done."

The supernatural is written in our DNA! 
It is unnatural for us not to hunger for the impossible to be in constant manifestation in our lives.

Acts 4:31-37   And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
“Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,  and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”

The power of belonging lies in its fundamental role as a human need that significantly improves an individual's mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It provides a sense of security, support, and identity, acting as a crucial protective factor against the negative effects of social isolation and loneliness.

“Christian community is not an ideal we must realize, but rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Life Together)

“The credibility of the Gospel is inseparable from the integrity of the church. Our message carries weight only when our community embodies it.” John Stott 

John 17:21 (MSG) “The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind— Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, So they might be one heart and mind with us. Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me.”

1 John 1:3-4 (NLT) “We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.  We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.”

Ephesians 4:3-6 (NIV) “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism;  one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

Philippians 1:1-2 (NLT) “Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate?  Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.”

“those who believed were of one heart and one soul.”

One Heart :— United in affection for Christ and His Kingdom
One Soul :— United in Identity and Mission
One Spirit :— Animated and empowered by Holy Spirit.

The early church didn’t lose individuality — they gained relational solidarity. Their uniqueness was preserved, but their self-centeredness was surrendered. They became “one heart and soul”: united in love (heart) and united in mission (soul).
