A church was built from this revival, and I went to the
services because they stimulated my faith. But when I would go
down to the altar to pray, I would move far away from the
others. One time I ventured to tell them God wasn't hard of
hearing. They replied He wasn't nervous, either!

about divine healing and my church didn't. And they were right
about divine healing. They might know some other things I
didn't know.
I decided to read through the Book of Acts and underline
with red pencil everywhere two or more prayed in a group. I was
going to see how they did it back then.
As I read through Acts underlining these Scriptures, I
couldn't find a single place where there was a group and one
person was called on to lead in prayer. I also couldn't find
sentence prayers or anything like that. I found the Bible said they
lifted their voices. They all prayed at once, and they all prayed
