Use agreement!

 “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.” Matthew 18:19KJV

We cannot overstate the power of agreement in prayer during times of struggle and doubt. Jesus Himself assured us in Matthew 18:19, “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.” This promise emphasizes the strength found in unity and shared faith. Ecclesiastes 4:9 reinforces this, stating, “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” The partnership in prayer and purpose brings about divine results that solitary efforts may not achieve. When brethren are united in prayer the anointing is powerful (Psalms 133).

Consider the example of Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-26. Their united prayers and praises led to an earthquake that broke their chains and opened the prison doors, demonstrating that agreement in faith and prayer can lead to miraculous outcomes. Conversely, Uriah’s tragic fate in 2 Samuel 11:15 shows the consequences of isolation in battle; without support, even the strongest can fall. Therefore, surround yourself with faithful companions who will stand with you in agreement, fortifying your prayers and ensuring that you are not fighting your battles alone.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the promise of Your word that where two or three are gathered in Your name, there You are in the midst of them. We come before You in agreement, standing on the assurance that whatever we ask in unity, it shall be done by our Father in heaven. Lord, we pray for a spirit of unity and faith to permeate our hearts and our communities. Let us find strength and encouragement in each other, as Paul and Silas did, knowing that our collective prayers can break chains and open doors.

We ask, Lord, that You surround us with faithful companions who will stand with us in prayer and support. Help us to lift each other up and bear one another's burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ. As we agree together in prayer for our needs, let Your power be made manifest in our lives. May we see miracles, breakthroughs, and divine interventions as we walk in unity and agreement. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
