John 17:20-26
New English Translation
Jesus Prays for Believers Everywhere
20 “I am not praying[a] only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe[b] in me through their testimony,[c] 21 that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray[d] that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me. 22 The glory[e] you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—that they may be completely one,[f] so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am,[g] so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world[h] . 25 Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men[i] know that you sent me. 26 I made known your name[j] to them, and I will continue to make it known,[k] so that the love you have loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them.”
Acts 2:42-47
New English Translation
The Fellowship of the Early Believers
42 They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship,[a] to the breaking of bread and to prayer.[b] 43 Reverential awe[c] came over everyone,[d] and many wonders and miraculous signs[e] came about by the apostles. 44 All who believed were together and held[f] everything in common, 45 and they began selling[g] their property[h] and possessions and distributing the proceeds[i] to everyone, as anyone had need. 46 Every day[j] they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts,[k] breaking bread from[l] house to house, sharing their food with glad[m] and humble hearts,[n] 47 praising God and having the good will[o] of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day[p] those who were being saved.
Prayer of Transformation
Lord Jesus, I am your witness.
I receive your righteousness and release my sinfulness.
I receive your wholeness and release my brokenness.
I receive your fullness and release my emptiness.
I receive your peace and release my anxiety.
I receive your joy and release my despair.
I receive your healing and release my sickness.
I receive your love and release my selfishness.
Come Holy Spirit transform my heart, mind, soul, and strength so that my consecration becomes your demonstration; that our lives become your sanctuary. For the glory of God our Father, amen.
