The power of agreement.....

The power of agreement is just more than a perky catch phrase. In the
spiritual realm there is true power in agreement. Even in the world you
hear people say, "you don't have to go this trial alone, just call me and I
will be there for you", or "you will never walk alone as long as I am your
friend". Well, if you find yourself in a really difficult situation,
emotionally or financially, you know from experience in the world that
those well wishing friends usually disappear quickly!

Thank God that our Heavenly Father, having perfect INTEGRITY, is true to His
commitment to stay the course with us in difficult times. In James 4:8 it
says, "draw nigh onto God, and He will draw nigh onto you.(KJV) That is why
I have told you before that your prayer and personal time with God is so
vital. This scripture doesn't mean that you should treat your Heavenly
Father as a fire alarm. You only break the class and pull the lever to set
off an alarm in case of fire. It means that you should walk and talk with
Him daily. Then when things happen, both big and small, you are in His
word, in His presence, and have access to His power. The Bible also says in
Matthew 18:19 "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."
(KJV)
So you have God's word that if you stay in His presence and then agree on
earth with a prayer partner for anything, it will be done for you. Now
don't expect someone that has been very mean to you to burst into flames
because you agree with someone that this should happen. Your prayers and
requests should always be in line with the word of God.

So the next time you are tempted to rely just on man, or you find yourself
too busy to spend quality time with your Heavenly Father, remember what we
have discussed here. Even though we can choose to agree to disagree
sometimes, let's all agree here and now that God is the author of our lives
and we can go to him, in agreement, and accomplish anything on earth that is
pleasing and just before the Father and even the gates of hell cannot
prevail against our agreements made know to God.
