After the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the false arrest of Peter and John, the disciples were gathered together and they were praying. They praised God for the miracles that He had performed and asked God to grant them boldness in proclaiming the gospel.
Acts 4:30-31 says, “while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.’ 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.” God still eagerly desires to do marvelous works and to heal His people. For our part, we should humbly pray and believe. His power has not diminished, and He will do mighty works for us and through us. Our unity in prayer unlocks and releases the power of the Holy Spirit.
