Remember the story in Genesis 11, about a group of people who decided together to build a tower that reached to the skies.
God took notice of what these people had agreed to do together.
His response? “If they can accomplish this when they have just begun to take advantage of their common language and political unity, just think of what they will do later. Nothing will be impossible for them!” (v. 6). According to God, agreement makes the impossible possible.
In Matthew 18, Jesus says to his followers, in New Living Translation “I also tell you this: If two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you” (v. 19, NLT).
NIV--> “Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.”
If you agree with another person here on earth concerning anything you’ve asked God for, he will do it for you.
I love this version most!!
"I also tell you this: If two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven WILL DO it for you. For where two or three gather together BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE, I am there among them."
Do you see how the verse begins with, “I also tell you this…”? This indicates that what Jesus is saying here relates to what he said just prior to this statement.
Even though you're alone, actually the Holy spirit is also agree with what you're praying (Matthew 9:29).. So, the minimum number is achieved.. But... Three will be better.. :) The power flowing out of agreement is, therefore, a three-person event: two people, plus God, agreeing for something to happen.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.”
A person’s faith can be attacked and defeated.
When our faith is attacked, we CAN lose our faith and, with it, the very thing or outcome we were believing for.
Coming into agreement with another person provides support for the faith point to which we’re trying to hold on.
The rest of Ecclesiastes 4:12 goes on to say, “Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” When you bring God into the agreement you have in faith with another person, He can undergird the faith you have together.
Hoahhh.. Start praying together, and come with agreement.. Ask your family, or your friend to put the same faith.. Agree with something :)
