And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

"Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,

" It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

"And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

" Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater [works] than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

"And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
