The Prayer of Agreement

Matthew 18:19, 20 verses 

19 says NKJV “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 in Heaven.” 

Verse 20 says “For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.” 

From the Message Bible it says in v.19 “When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, My Father in Heaven goes into action." 

Verse 20 says "and when two or three of you are together, because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there." 

The Prayer of Agreement is very POWERFUL, if it is done correctly. We know that Prayer is to communicate directly to as a petition to GOD. Agreement means an understanding between two or more parties, a contract. When you come into an agreement with someone, both or all parties have to agree on the same thing. One individual can’t be praying, believing, or thinking one thing and the others are doing the opposite. But everyone has to be on one accord believing the same thing. Many times a person's prayer doesn’t get answered because the person they asked to prayer for them, they don’t even like that person, but they know he or she can get a prayer through to GOD. You and your friends sitting around talking about your Pastor, the man or woman of GOD and when trouble hits, you are running to him or her for prayer, knowing within you don’t like that person. Although that person does not know you don’t like him or her, GOD knows your heart and you will not receive anything from GOD, until you get it RIGHT! GOD is not the author of confusion, but a GOD of peace. He will not be in the midst of confusion. Many prayers or blessings are held up and hindered, because of confusion among each other, especially with husband and wife, Pastor and church members, or friends and family. Many times during an argument or disagreement,someone becomes offended about something that was said or done, and suddenly something happens, where prayer is needed, then you say lets pray. NO, NO, NO, STOP! How are you going to call your wife out of her name, talk about your Pastor and his family, talk about your friend with the other friend and expect GOD to be in the midst of that? Your prayer is not going anywhere and that is WHY you must take care things immediately! By forgiving, after things happen and not allow offenses to linger in your HEART, because you’ll never know when you will need the Prayer of Agreement. Ephesians 4:26 nkjv says "be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, v. 27 says "nor give place to the devil." Many times situations occur where prayer is needed, right after the enemy comes with confusion, because the enemy knows your prayers will be hindered. So if he does certain things to you, your church, or your family, no prayers will be answered, because there is confusion in the midst. 

The Prayer of Agreement is very powerful, but when two or more parties allow friction to come in the midst, your Prayer of Agreement will not be effective. That is WHY things are at a standstill in homes, and in churches. When a church comes together corporally to prayer for certain things, if there is confusion among one another the Prayer or the Blessing of the whole church can be hindered. Same goes in the home and among friends, don’t let no one talk about your Man or Woman of God, neither do you. If this is the person God has connected you with as a prayer partner, to cover you and your family, don’t take it lightly and don’t take it for granted. Your life or your family members lives could depend upon it. So before you go forth with a Prayer of Agreement make sure all hearts and minds are clear and everyone is on one accord, minding the same thing, then the Prayer of Agreement will be effective.
