Week: July 21 – 27, 2024

Read: Matthew 18:19

Key Verse: 9 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about
anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

I was reminded of this passage earlier this week when my brother and friend, forwarded a
devotional containing this Scripture. In Matthew 18:19, Jesus teaches us about the power
that exists when believers get in agreement with one another. He said, “…if two of you on
earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.”

Across my own journey, I have experienced the power of agreement and have been enriched
because of the impact of agreement. And while agreeing with another believer has been a
blessing, I have also learned that who I come into agreement with, matters. Your choice of an
“agreement partner” makes a huge difference in an outcome.

When you are believing for something, you need someone with bold faith; not someone who
says, “I don’t see that happening.” If the circumstance or situation is going to change
through agreement, then do not try to agree on spiritual things with a doubter (family and
close friends included). I want someone to believe with me that nothing is impossible for
God.

If you want to experience the fullness of this Scripture, you need a faith partner who will take
the limits off God with you. That is why the word “believers” is highlighted above; it is a
reminder that the person with whom you agree, has to see it…and believe it...before it comes
to pass.

Prayer: “Father God, thank You that You have given us the power of agreement in prayer.
Thank You or the people who are joined in Spirit with me to change outcomes.
Please increase my faith. I trust in Your authority, power and sovereignty. I hold to Your
faithful promise and love. Guide and strengthen me, and use my faith to encourage others.
In Jesus’ name. Amen”
