The words “one accord” in the book of Acts shows exactly what one accord will do when God is involved. The words “one accord” have a variety of meanings such as “togetherness, with one mind, harmony, united in purpose, unanimity.” When the Acts believers reach a “crash” or a point of unity, powerful things happened.
What if the “Crash” mindset was applied to the prayer life of a church? While the prayer of an individual, according to James 5:16, “has great power and produces wonderful results.” A group, or a Crash, of those same individuals coming together to pray can have catastrophic results to the kingdom of darkness. When people are “of one mind,” the prayer capacity of that unanimity can bring about unbelievable outcomes.
Today’s scripture: Acts 4:23-31
When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,[a] said by the Holy Spirit,
“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed’[b]—
27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants[c] to continue to speak your word with all boldness,30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
