1. Agreement means “coming into alignment with.”
Matthew 18:19,20
19 “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.
20 “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (NKJV).
2. God has always showcased agreement.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken (NKJV).
Deuteronomy 32:30 - How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight? (NKJV).
Amos 3:3 - Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? (NKJV).
3. Jesus understood the power of agreement.
Matthew 18:19,20 (above.)
4. Based on the dynamics of this truth, Jesus sent His disciples out to minister two-by-two.
Luke 10:1 - After these
things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before
His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go (NKJV).
5. The disciples continued to dispense faith for healing – two-by-two.
Acts 3:3,4
3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.
4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us” (NKJV).
Acts 13:2 - As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them” (NKJV).
6. When your soul (your mind, will and emotions) comes into agreement with your spirit, it prospers, and health results.
3 John 2 - Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers (NKJV).
7. We learn to break agreement with the curse brought on by sin and death, and agree with the BLESSING Jesus came and died to give us.
Galatians 3:13,14
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a
curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (NKJV).
8. The result of agreeing with the BLESSING is long life.
Job 5:26 - You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season (NKJV).
