Prayer of Agreement
PRAYER OF AGREEMENT.
MATTHEW 18:19, 20
Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
How can we come in to agreement about something we are praying about?
The key is to find out what the Lord says about it. Then you can both agree based on His revealed will.
You could find that you have been believing something that is not true, in which case you need to :-
(1) I confess my sin ( and my ancestors sin ) of believing the lie of………
(2) I forgive those who contributed to my forming this Ungodly belief
(3) I ask you Lord, to forgive me for receiving this ungodly belief, for living my life based on it, and for any way I have judged others because of it. I receive your forgiveness. 1 John 1:9
(4) On the basis of your forgiveness, Lord I choose to forgive myself for believing this lie.
(5) I renounce and break my agreement with this ungodly belief. I break my agreement with the power of darkness. I cancel all agreements with demons.
(6) I choose to accept, believe and receive the Godly belief that…..
1 John 5:14
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.
So we need to stand on the promises of God !
Find them ………. from the word ...Mental agreement
Pray them ……..…to the Lord …… Spiritual agreement
Confess them …… to yourself …… Spiritual agreement
Declare them…. … to the heavens . Spiritual agreement
Act on them.. …… in this world … Physical agreement
You can take it another stage by finding someone to come into agreement with you, who will stay in agreement, believing you have received the answer to your prayer, until the answer manifests.
We can see a progression developing from Math 18:19,20
We begin as a :-
New convert, who begins to grow in the spiritual life becoming a
Person of prayer who influences those around them and develops a
House of prayer which prays people through to salvation and join a
Cell group that nurtures new converts into people of prayer
Church planting can come from some of the Cell groups that are furthest from main church building
