Christopher Dodge","episode_count":1091,"summary":"Awake Us Now is a body of believers who: WORSHIP the Triune God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Praise Him with joy and thanksgiving for He is God and He is good; WALK by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the clear teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and the clear declaration of the Scriptures. Such a daily walk is a far cry from mere religion or \"church as usual;\" WITNESS to Jesus Christ our Savior in daily life situations. Take seriously His call to make disciples.

If you would like to look at that message, \"God ACTS! Chapter 4\" go here: https://www.awakeusnow.com/god-acts-then-now (scroll to that title). This message was a study of Acts 4:1-22. In this class we look at Acts 4:23-31. Here's the list he shared surrounding chapter 4: Prophecy Power Proclamation Passion And the 5th one? Prayer The believers gather together for prayer. As they pray they include a part of David's prophetic prayer that he had written a thousand years earlier. Acts 4:25-26 \"You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: 'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed one.'\" (The italicized words in the prayer are quoted from David's writings in Psalm 2:1-2) Pastor points out the words \"anointed one\" are one word in the original Greek text - Χριστός - it's the word \"Christos\" meaning \"the anointed one\" as we see it translated here in the NIV. It also means \"Messiah.\" The word used for \"his anointed\" in the original Hebrew text for Psalm 2:1-2 is - מָשִׁיחַ - it is the word \"Meshiach\" meaning \"anointed\" as we see it translated in Psalm 2 in the NIV. It also means \"Messiah.\" As we continue to read the next verses we see that what David had foretold in Psalm 2, we see happening/fulfilled in this story in Acts. In the next verses (29-30) we read the rest of their prayer: \"Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.\" Again we see \"the Name\" which Pastor explored on Sunday's mess…","meta_description":"Pastor Dodge gives us the 5th \"P\" from his list of \"p's from last Sunday's message.
