THE POWER OF AGREEMENT

By:  Pastor Carmin Battista

 Matt.18:19-20 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

 Have you ever been at a band practice or symphony rehearsal when all the musicians were tuning up or practicing by themselves? No one is paying attention to what the other musicians are playing. What happens when the conductor taps his wand to signal the time to begin? All of the musicians focus on the conductor and begin playing the music that is set before them in the same key at the same time and it sounds great.

 To agree, as stated in Matthew 18:19, means to be in harmony or symphony with one another. Just like an orchestra or band has to be playing the same song at the same and in the same key for it to sound good, we must be in harmony if we want this prayer to work. If we want to tap into the power that is in agreement there are some things we need to keep in mind. 1) We must ask in agreement. Many people discuss something they are praying about and another person says I agree with you. However we must ask God, not just say I agree. Even though we are in agreement or in harmony and symphony with one another we want God in agreement with us according to His Word, or the prayer won’t work. Also when you pray, ask in faith without wavering (James 1) if you want it to come to pass.  2) We need to stay in agreement until we see it come to pass. Don’t let symptoms of doubt enter into your mind causing you to miss out on seeing your prayer come to pass.  3) Keep praising God for the results before any physical evidence shows up. This is calling those things which be not as though they were as in Rom 4:17. This also brings honor and glory to your Heavenly Father. Remember, God is not legalistic about prayers coming to pass, however, the devil is. The Word promises us it will come to pass if we stay in faith until we see the physical evidence.
