"These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers." Acts 1:14
So the Eleven are joined by many others in the Upper Room. It should be noted that men and women were united in prayer, including His family; His mother Mary and His half-brothers. Can you imagine? Still grieving and going through a host of emotions; some anticipating, some wondering, some doubting and some not sure what to think. But, together, in one accord (not talking about a Honda here) talking about spiritual unity. They were just praying, seeking the Lord and being obedient to wait, as they were instructed.
We have much to learn about unity, obedience and togetherness. It was not an open forum or a two hall meeting. It was a prayer gathering asking for God's provision, will and guidance, His power and presence.
I recommend the movie "Woodlawn" to you. A great example of what happens when there is spiritual unity in Christ and God shows up. Powerful stuff!
