Acts 9:31

Christian Churches thrive in the peace and unity of Holy Spirit. His peace He gives to those who trust in Him to do what they cannot. When we lift up Christ others are drawn to Him.

Without Holy Spirit in our Churches nothing happens. 

With Jesus and in the unity of Holy Spirit nothing is impossible!

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

Acts 9:31

31 Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

This could refer primarily to the Church’s contentment in the face of persecution, or to their internal unity and camaraderie. Despite persecution, the Church was growing both in number and in maturity. Faithlife Bible.

This peace was not due solely to Saul’s conversion. Tiberius, the emperor of Rome, died around this time. He was replaced by Caligula, who wanted to erect a statue of himself in the temple at Jerusalem. Thus Jewish energy was directed away from persecuting Christians and toward Caligula. Here we see God’s sovereign hand at work, giving the early church a short season of respite. NKJ Bible.

The professors of the gospel walked uprightly, and enjoyed much comfort from the Holy Ghost, in the hope and peace of the gospel, and others were won over to them. They lived upon the comfort of the Holy Ghost, not only in the days of trouble and affliction, but in days of rest and prosperity. Those are most likely to walk cheerfully, who walk circumspectly. Matthew Henry Commentary.

Psalm 34:9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.

Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

Acts 16:5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
