Acts 4:23-31; 7:59-60, 2 Tim. 4:14
1. How did the disciples pray in respect of Herod and Pilate?
The disciples prayed to God to consider Herod and Pilate's threats, to enable them to speak God's word with great boldness. So that they can stretch out their hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of 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.
2. Should we ask God to punish our enemy or show mercy?
While people were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Therefore, we should ask God to show mercy to our enemies.
