What did the New Testament Church do when people opposed them? They prayed and asked God for more boldness. Great power is found in praise. Praise is your prayer put to music. The Bible says to enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. God is seeking those who will worship him. He inhabits the praises of his people. When you offer your prayers and praise, you gain the power to move heaven and earth. When the New Testament Church prayed, the room was shaken. God has given us this same power.
