Holy Spirit Release - Part 2 The release of true Holy Spirit power is directly related to the unity of the believers. Jesus prayed for unity in John 17, and He instructs us in Matthew 18:19 that the prayer of agreement knows no limit to its ability to release God’s power. And here in Acts, unity is the direct result of the Holy Spirit’s filling—“those who believed were of one heart and one soul.” Human pride is the culprit that divides brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ. It is the foremost device of the adversary to thwart the flow of God’s power by bringing reproach to the Church in a watching world. Pride has the same devastating effect in homes. Marriages are broken and children are lost because loveless pride divides families. True Holy Spirit power melts hearts and brings us to unity in soul. While it does not guarantee a universality of thought, we do become melted in love and in His unlimited power move together with one heart.
