    Acts 1:3-5, 8-9, 14 NIV

    3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” ... 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. ... 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

    1) WE DESPERATELY DEPEND ON GOD'S LISTENING EAR

    Romans 9:16 NIV

    It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

    James 4:8 NIV

    Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

    Luke 11:9 NIV

    So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

    ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

    2) WE DESPERATELY DEPEND ON GOD'S WORD FOR CHANGE

    Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

    The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb. By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

    John 15:7-8 NIV

    7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
