Prayer of Agreement

Matthew 18:19-20 (New King James Version)

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. For where
two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.

The prayer of agreement is when two or more people come together and agree with one another and with the Word of God that something specific will be
done.

Jesus looked ahead to a new day when He would be present with His followers not in body, but through His Holy Spirit.

In the body of believers (the church), the sincere agreement of two people in prayer is more powerful than the superficial agreement of thousands,
because Christ’s Holy Spirit is with them.

When two or more believers, filled with the Holy Spirit, pray according to God’s will and not their own, their requests will be granted.

Matthew 28:18-20 (New King James Version)

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have
commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

God gave Jesus authority over heaven and earth. On the basis of that authority, Jesus told his disciples to make more disciples as they preached,
baptized, and taught.

With this same authority, Jesus still commands us to tell others the Good News and make them disciples for the Kingdom.

We are to go—whether it is next door or to another country—and make disciples. It is not an option but a command to all who call Jesus
“Lord.”

We are not all evangelists in the formal sense, but we have all received gifts that we can use to help fulfill the great commission. As we obey, we
have comfort in the knowledge that Jesus is always with us.

God has given power and authority to the Church and when we stand together in unity we can see more of God’s power released.

Unity is standing together with one purpose, sharing a joint vision and trusting God’s Word to be fulfilled.

We need to appreciate the power of unity if we are to see God’s power released.

The prayer of agreement always involves the prayer of faith.

All prayer is by faith. The agreement brings more faith into action and this is why it is so powerful. Getting people to agree with you in prayer is a
powerful act.

Acts 4:23-24 (New Living Translation)

The Believers Pray for Courage

As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. When they
heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God: “O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, the sea,
and everything in them.”

Notice how the believers prayed. First, they praised the Lord; then they told Him their specific problem and asked for His help.

They did not ask the Lord to remove the problem but to help them deal with it. This is a model for us to follow when we pray.
