And when they heard this, they raised their voices to God with one mind and said.
“And when they heard this, they raised their voices to God with one mind and said, “Lord, it is You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them, who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said, ‘Why were the nations insolent, And the peoples plotting in vain? The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the Lord and against His Christ.’ 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, to do whatever Your hand and purpose predestined to occur. And now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant it to Your bond-servants to speak Your word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”

Did you see that the Bible says that all the people said the same thing?
“And when they heard this, they raised their voices to God with one mind and said.”
They were of one mind. Some might say that Luke was there and that this is what he prayed. But I disagree Luke was not a disciple among the followers of Jesus, yet, but was a doctor that investigated and questioned Jesus’ followers to get to the bottom of the movement of “The Way”. So in his interviews with Peter, Mary, John, and many others, he concluded that this was said by all being in one mind.
When was the last time that we felt in one mind with our Pastors, brothers, and sisters?
“For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God. We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. But the one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is discerned by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

Lord, the great and awesome God, I ask you to give Your people, Your church, Your Holy priesthood Your Mind, the Mind of Jesus so that we may be in one accord and operating in Your will. Lord, I pray that Your preachers, teachers, and pastors will only be able to speak Your word in front of Your people. Throw off those who are speaking to deceive Your people and amplify those who are speaking the truth of Your Word.
