AGREEMENT HAS A VOICE
/
“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it
will be done for them by My Father I heaven.”—Matthew 18:19
Reading through the book of Acts you will notice that the early Church prayed out loud in united prayer, and when they did wonderful, supernatural things happened. For example, in Acts 3 and 4 Peter and John when to the temple to pray; however, before they got to the temple Peter told a lame beggar to rise up and be healed. The man was healed, and as a result Peter and John were put into jail. When Peter and John were released from jail they went to be with the other believers, and reported all that had happened to them. The people united their voice in agreement and prayed; as a result, when they had prayed the building was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Their voices were united, praying and agreeing on the same thing; as a result, God honored His Word.
During the early years of our ministry, we were asked to minister in a pastor friend’s church in Kankakee, Illinois. We were driving from Oklahoma to Illinois when we began to experience car trouble. My husband is a pretty fair mechanic, but he couldn’t figure out the problem with the engine. We preached the first night of the meeting, and the next day my husband and the pastor of the church took the car to a mechanic who went to the pastor’s church. The mechanic tried for two days to figure out what was wrong with the car by using diagnostics, and he called the car dealership to see if they could provide a solution to the problem. No one could find out a solution to problem. After we concluded the services, we were scheduled to preach in another church several hundreds of miles away, so we needed a speedy repair to the car. At the end of the seconded day, my husband, the pastor, and the mechanic agreed that the problem would be discovered that God would send mechanical angels to help reveal the problem, and provide a solution. We went to the final night of the services being confident that God had heard, and would answer our prayer. The next day when the mechanic opened his business a package had been delivered from the car dealership that he had called about our car. The label on the package listed a part for a ’77 Pontiac Lemans, and the invoice was dated the date the call had been made; however, the mechanic had not ordered anything. The mechanic put the part on the car, and it cured the problem that we were having. He immediately called the pastor and reported what had happened. When the pastor and my husband arrived at the mechanic’s business they had a wonderful time rejoicing with the mechanic over what the Lord had provided, and how He had answered prayer.
Do not put any limitation on God when you ask in faith in agreement; He will always fulfill His Word. The Scriptures tell us that one shall put 1,000 to flight, but two shall put 10,000 to flight. Keep on agreeing!
Prayer—Thank you, Lord that when I agree with someone else in prayer that anything that we ask will be done by You, in Jesus Name. Amen
