This chapter is always exciting in showing how the Holy Spirit is working in Peter and the other believers!
First, the Holy Spirit heals the man, and then gives Peter words to speak and gives him boldness as he speaks to the religious leaders - especially after they imprisoned them and then commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus!
Then after all of that, they still are determined to continue to speak about Jesus and they pray and commit themselves to God and the Holy Spirit shakes the building and fills them again! Very incredible!
Peter always is giving credit and honor to God. Also, when he prays, he doesn't focus on the problem first, but instead focuses on God, his goodness, his control over the situation and finally asking for help. Great example of following a "Lord's Prayer" model in prayer!
