Tonight is Part 9 of our study on prayer in the book of Acts. The next two instances of prayer in the book of Acts occur as bookends to Paul’s first missionary journey. At the beginning of chapter 13, the prophets and teachers in Antioch are fasting and praying (“ministering to the Lord and fasting,” it says), and the Holy Spirit calls out Barnabas and Saul. The disciples obey through more fasting, praying, and sending them out, and the Holy Spirit does glorious things through them on that missionary journey.
At the end of chapter 14, Barnabas and Saul pray in each church that they have established, having appointed elders and committed these new believers to the Lord in Whom they had believed. They return to Antioch and report all that God has done. Clearly, this was His plan, and all for His glory.
