“Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and Whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That 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. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” ~ Matthew 18:18-20 (KJV)
God has given you the ability to have whatever you desire.
I know it probably surprises you that I would make such a statement. Especially if you’ve been struggling to make ends meet, and trying to hold on and believe things will get better.
Well, I’ve got good news for you: Things are about to get better for you.
In fact, they are better right now because God’s Word says as a believer you can speak His Word over whatever it is you desire, and it is yours. I don’t know about you, but I take that to mean that as long as His Word promises it, and I am in agreement with His Word, then it’s mine to have.
That’s how the power of agreement works.
Jesus said in Matthew 18:18-20: “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That 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. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
The Power Is In Your Mouth
When it comes to having what you want, you have power in your mouth to speak and see things happen. When you understand the importance of people coming together and agreeing on something, you’ll understand the power you hold over the devil. You can literally put him out of your environment. You can open your mouth and declare things to the atmosphere. You can declare certain things in your life because the Bible clearly says whatever you forbid and declare to be improper or unlawful will be so already in the heavens.
But don’t miss the key here. The operative word in what Jesus is saying is agreement: “That 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. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:19).
That’s where the power is. When you and someone else are in agreement regarding God’s Word, then whatever it is that you agree on has to happen. That’s God’s promise. The simple truth is, if you want to walk in the power and authority God has given you then you must line up with, or come into agreement with, every aspect of His Word.
There are a number of places in the Bible where God calls for His people to walk in agreement and be obedient. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, for instance, God says, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
God presented an opportunity, but it came with certain stipulations. He entered into an agreement that placed responsibilities on Him and His children — if they would do something, then He in turn would do something for them.
There is power in agreement. We see it work in the world’s system every day. Millionaires are born through the power of agreement. Industries are successful through the power of agreement. Nations become dominant through the power of agreement.
All God is asking from you, His believing sons and daughters, is to come into agreement with Him and His Word. Trust Him enough to just do what He asks, and watch Him work in your life.
Agree with God, and He will always agree with you.
