The following commentary to Acts 4:32, 33 are taken from The Spirit Filled Bible:
Word Wealth 4:33
Power, dunamis (doo-nam-is); Strong’s #1411: One of four great power words. The others are exousia, delegated authority; ischuros, great strength (especially physical); and kratos, dominion authority. Dunamis means energy, power, might, great force, great ability, strength. It is sometimes used to describe the powers of the world to come at work upon the earth and divine power overcoming all resistance. (Compare “dynamic,” “dynamite,” and “dynamometer.”) The dunamis in Jesus resulted in dramatic transformations. This is the norm for the Spirit-filled and Spirit-led church.
Kingdom Dynamics 4:32, 33
One Heart and One Soul, POWER OF UNITY.
The early church grew rapidly as “the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47). In 4:32, 33 it is reported that the growing multitude of believers were experiencing a profound dimension of spiritual unity. First, they were “of one heart,” which is a description in the original Gree, meaning “in tune” or “in sync” with one another. To put it another way, they were all going the same way, spiritually together. Second, they were of “one soul” (sometimes translated as “one mind”). This has a wonderfully deep meaning in the original Greek. It literally means “to breath” or “to breath spiritually together.” The results of this quality of spiritual unity were both powerful and practical: “they had all things in common” (shared everything they had); they witnessed “with great power”; and “great grace was upon them all.” All of these glorious things took place through the unleashing of the power of the Holy Spirit in response to the corporate prayers of God’s people crying out to Him together (v. 24).
(Acts 4:24/Eph. 4:3-6) P.A.C.

Prayed…
Father, we are looking for the penetration of Your Word into the hearts of the believers
That we would not gain only knowledge but know You by experience
We are looking for a more, a much, and a greater
By Your Spirit, we are looking for floodgates to be opened
Father, we know You have placed and planted believers for such a time as this!
By Your Spirit come and visit-cause a great awakening
Seeing a great coming out of self-sufficiency and the way of the world
Father, we are praying for an opening and an explanation of the Word through the pastors and teachers
Opening up the Book in a new and fresh way
Looking for words from heaven!
We give ourselves unto the Word and the Spirit!
There is a straightening of theology and we focus on You!
We are looking for a fusion in different parts of the body of Christ!
According to Your Spirit, the stream line connected directly to You is flowing through the body
Leaving and laying aside some things
We take hold of the things that are of real value
Give clarity and definition to the orders
Walking carefully and accurately
Some don’t like change, but You know how to bring about the change
Father, we are looking for the willing and obedient
We need to get on the highway of our God putting our hand to the plow
Every believer must know what they are called to do and where they are called to go
Applying the blood over those who are in positions of authority
You have anointed men and women to stand in those offices
Strengthen them today to walk in Your ways
Let them see that the reward is in the finishing
As the body of Christ, we are to take our place of authority
We refuse to blend in-we have been marked by the Spirit
It is not time to retire, it is time to re-fire!
Moving over into the miraculous realm of the Holy Ghost
We call for the unlocking and uncovering of the gifts in every realm
The entire body, whole and united
We yield to You, our highest authority
Father, there must be an unseating of ourselves and other gods!
We declare we will NOT have any other gods but You alone!
Let Your will be done in us, Lord!
Laying things, activities, perceptions, and paradigms on the altar
We trust You, Father!
One heart, one plan, one purpose and it’s all in You and by You!
Father, there is a generation that must see Your acts and deeds
They cannot say, “That’s the God of our fathers”-Lord, they must know You!
Invade religiosity and the traditions of men!
We stand in agreement with the pray-ers who have prayed in secret
Father, encourage, strengthen them and let them finish their race
We pray for the spiritual motion and momentum to carry us over into the finishing
Applying the blood over obedience to Your leading
Looking for resources of every kind to be released now!
All of the parts must be oiled by Your Spirit
Day by day engaged with You!
Commanding that to come down now in Jesus’ name!
Holy Ghost doors being opened!
