The Power of Agreement
Through the years there have been so many amazing miracles that have happened in our ministry as a result of the two of us praying in agreement over challenging issues. The Lord gently reminded me that I should write about this spiritual principal. How about a personal example? 35 +years of working side by side in ministry we have discovered that God is our partner in every detail and impossible situation. So we made it a habit early on that we would agree together when we came to these junctures. There have been literally thousands of things that have happened to us that were unusual miracles and uncommon favors from God for our ministry through the years.
Recently we made a decision that we could add a bookstore to the Coffee Cafe in the Community Center. This would add value to the customers experience in the Cafe, boost sales as well as provide another outlet for the thousands of books we receive. So we prayed in agreement that God would supply what we did not have to make this idea possible. We have learned that if we do what we can...God will do what we cannot. We stayed in agreement over this matter, and kept working watching for the miracle to come to us. 1 week later we are both working in different locations and we get a phone call about a bookstore that was closing their doors..... 'would we be interested in receiving their bookshelves, misc books and their practically brand new outdoor sign'. This was from a store in another town 45 minutes away. And can we come and pick it all up today? Would we!
Together we rejoiced! No sweeter victory to us privately than to watch God use our prayers to make a dream come true. IN 4 DAYS WE HAD A COMPLETE BOOKSTORE IN PLACE..... INCLUDING THE BIG SIGN HANGING OUTSIDE.
This is amazing to many people who are in our lives, we see them shake their heads watching events unfold often. We hear them say, 'man you guys don't fool around do you'. We usually smile and tell them it's an answer to prayer- my Man of God and I know what that means. We prayed in agreement and God moved the mountain!
When you are in a hard place, let me remind you.... find out what the two of you need to agree on. Pray together about it and agree for the specific answer to come. Every time it comes to your mind pray again in agreement. (we pray out loud together in agreement)
.....'If any two of you agree as touching anything it shall be'.....
You two are the perfect ones to pray in agreement over issues.... hurry God is waiting on you to agree! It's the key to unlock your anwers.
