When we pray Pt 6 “Prayer Of Agreement”

Agreement is not “Organic”
Agreement is “Intentional”

See, the point of “argument” is not to win
The point of “argument” is to find a solution

What are you saying ?
In “agreement” Everyone is not going to get all their chips on their side of the table
There will be a shared space
We negotiate for the greater good - For Agreement
Example - I’m Always Right !!

There are some things that the bible teaches that can only happen when you are with someone and can not happen when your alone
You can be in a room full of people and be alone
COVID
This was unlike anything that has ever come upon the earth. At least in my lifetime.
The nature of this disease that differed from any other disease it that it sent ever home and made them close the door
Intentional or not-intentional …you will have to flesh that one out !!

There is something about the “touch” …There is something about coming into contact with others
Moses laid his hands on the 70 Elders and put his spirit on them
If there is any sick among you lay your hand on them and the prayer of faith will save the sick
Paul told Timothy…Don’t not neglect the gift of laying on of hands

Oral Roberts - One of the last things he said before he transitioned to Heaven
I don’t need to say a long prayer over you. I just need to put my hands on you. Long prayers are at times used to compensate for the fact that they carry no power

When we read the Bible. We are reading a historical account of where God landed. What and where He put his finger on !!
Psalms 23 for 2023 -
The year where God reintroduces himself to the body of Christ who has become to familiar with the God they barely know

Agreement is “Intentional”
The enemy is doing everything he can to get us not to agree

**Matthew 18:15 NKJV
**15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.
We want everyone else to know so that they can take up our offense
Example - Wheat and the Tare - Should I go and pull of the tares … NO !! You can have good people who get caught up in bad stuff and get ruined.

If he hears you,you have gained your brother.
If he embraces your attempt to bring peace you have salvaged a relationship

**16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’
You don’t act on something until you have multiple people giving you the same information

17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

Pastoral care / Elder leadership
If you have tried on every side…you have to get the gift of goodbye !!
**
Even in the Kingdom - At times - See yah don’t want to be yah !!
You can’t control people
You can only control your response to them

So you have the whole peace making narrative

**18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
If you release grace and mercy - I release grace and **mercy
If you withhold - I withhold

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.”

If you want my presence - If you want me to touch down
You got to fix these horizontal relationships**

Earth does not respond to Heaven
Heavens having a revival and earth decides to join in
Heaven responds to Earth
Our God is a “If” - “Then” God
If you, then “I”

18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Heaven does not “initiate”
Heaven “Responds”

When we do things in the earth - Heaven responds
Good & Bad

Ezekiel 8:12-16 AMP

12 Then said He to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his [secret] chambers of [idol] pictures? For they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has forsaken the land.

13 He also said to me, Yet again you shall see greater abominations which they are committing.

14 Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the Lord’s house; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz [a Babylonian god, who was supposed to die annually and subsequently be resurrected].

15 Then said [the Spirit] to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Yet again you shall see greater abominations that they are committing.

16 And He brought me to the inner court of the Lord’s house; and behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the bronze altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing themselves toward the east and worshiping the sun.

How about when Heaven gives us a word !! (I’m glad you asked)
When God gives you something, there must be a corresponding action that you will have to take to initiate that word in the earth
In order for you to agree with Heavens word - You must do something !!

James 2:26 NKJV

*26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.*
Faith without a corresponding action is dead

God I’m believing for…..- There must be a corresponding action that goes along with it
God, I’m believing for a financial breakthrough - yet you want work
God, I’m believing for some friends - I need connections - yet you are a jerk
God, I want a better marriage - Quit being hateful and mean as the devil
God, we want revival - **

See, Heaven responds to earth initiatives
We are not waiting on the Lord, He’s waiting on US !!

Psalm 133 NKJV

133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
**2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,
**Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
*Running down on the edge of his garments.*
*3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.
Oil runs
Dew descends
You always want to be around someone greater than you
Oil runs down
Many want to always be the chief in the pack because you like people throwing oil up !!
If you’re the smartest one in the room, you’re in the wrong room*

See, don’t get mad when everyone around you is getting there’s
That simply means your next !!

Running down on the edge of his garments.
Is the oil the same where it begins as where it ends up !!
Can the oil remain pure from the top to the bottom
Are blessings and curses coming out of your mouth

For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.
The same one God gave Adam
Be fruitful
Multiply
Fill the earth
Subdue the earth
Increase
Have dominion

Psalm 133 NKJV

133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!

Acts 2 NKJV

2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
40 days after the resurrections Jesus appeared to many people
10 days many gathered in the upper room awaiting the promise of Holy Spirit
Did God make them wait 50 days to receive the Power of Holy Spirit - NO !!
It took them 50 days to get it together

God’s not withholding power
God’s waiting on agreement

Amos 3:3 NKJV

3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
