Where and When Jesus and His Followers Gathered and Met

(Acts 17:11: Please learn to do your own Bible studies like this one – here.)
Jesus and His Followers Met in Life – Everywhere
Jesus and His disciples met in life – everywhere and did whatever the Holy Spirit led them to do – and saw mighty miracles of salvation, baptism in the Spirit, healing, deliverance, supernatural revelation, and dead-raisings happen everywhere.
Do we believe the leading and power of the Holy Spirit is enough to create enough of a stir to see revival happen everywhere? Let’s all get educated to do it in a healthy way.
