THE POWER OF AGREEMENT

So many differences of opinion.

So many different ways of doing things (raising children etc.)

So many ideas, manners, customs, and traditions.

It is not at all hard to find someone to disagree with,

The question is "can you find someone to agree with?"

"Can you and fellow believers find something to agree on?"

1. There is much more to agree on than there is to disagree on.

I don't know why it is so easy for us (even as Christians) to be disagreeable.

Even if we don't agree with something someone believes, says or does,
    There is so much that we could stand in agreement on with that person,
    And consequently see the work of God done,
Rather than consuming our time with disagreeing.

    Divisions in the body are the direct work of the enemy.

    When we give ourselves to that spirit of discord,
we are simply yielding to the spirit of the Devil.

2. The peace that the body of Christ is to have depends totally upon
agreement.

We are the army of the Most High God.

We are to be militant.

Amos 3:3
If we are ever going to be the Church Triumphant,
we must first be the Church Militant.

An army will not be an army long if it does not possess unity.

When one man steps all men must step.

When one man fires all men must fire.

When one man advances all men must advance.

We must understand the scripture,
    "Can two walk together, except they be agreed."

You must agree on who the enemy is, what the enemy is about,
    And that we are violently attacking his evil kingdom.

    If we don't agree, we cannot walk or march defender.

One man can not defend a country - he is no match for the adversary.

But the army standing abreast, marching forward like a wall,
will pass through any obstacle that comes their way.

1 Cor 14:40


3. Discord and disagreement will stop the hand of God and the moving of the
Spirit.

Matt 13:54-58

Matt 13:58


I would like to translate this as "because of their lack of agreement"
It was their own faith that made them whole.

The power of Jesus could not heal, change, deliver, or even save anyone
    unless they first agree with him and believe on him.

Therefore when we fail to agree/believe in or with him,
    We are binding the hand of God from moving in our midst.

On the same hand though, when we agree with believers and/or with God,
    We are releasing the Hand of God to move.

4. Agreeing together and standing in the unity that agreement brings,
will build an unpenetrateable wall against the adversary.

    A chord of 3 strands is not easily broken.

Matt 18:15-20


5. There are blessings that come with being in agreement.

Acts 2:1-4


Acts 2:46-47


6. There is power in agreement.

Matt 5:23-25

There is a very good reason why Jesus commanded us to agree with our adversary

It is impossible to be at odds with someone who agrees with you.

But not only will the power of agreement bring peace (even with our adversary)

It will also move the immovable, do the impossible, change the unchangable
    And work the unworkable.

Matt 18:19

The power of agreement is a resource we as the body of Christ,
    Have yet to realize the full effect of.

7. When we agree on earth, it releases the hand of God to move on our behalf.

I Jn 3:22-24


Acts 12:1-7


The power of God was reveled and manifested
simply by the Church standing in agreement.

There is an awesome power in agreement.

Being in one mind, one accord, in one place to make one sound to be heard by
one God.


Phil 2:1-11
