Acts 4 - Nathanael

This is such as exciting chapter! 

then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."  When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. 
Acts 4:10‭, ‬12‭-‬13‭
Being with Jesus changes you're life. He changes the ordinary to be extraordinary, he makes the unschooled to be wise, he makes the cowardly bold!


Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."  After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
Acts 4:‬29‭-‬31 NIV
It is so cool to me that they prayed for more boldness in the face of threats and God filled them again with his holy spirit!
