"The Power of AGREEMENT!"

"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." (Matthew 18:19)

The Power of Agreement (POA) is a powerful weapon in the Kingdom. It can be utilized to thwart the enemy at every turn. You may not know this, but "the devil ain't givin' errbody the blues!" He is just leavin' some people alone because they tight wit God. They start laughin' at him soon as they see him comin'! The devil don't have no choice but to break camp!

The POA is a profound spiritual weapon against the kingdom of darkness. I have always been drawn to this scripture as a husband because I have seen over the many years that I have been married that "disagreement" (POD) can have a profound effect on your relationship as well. For the first few years of our marriage, my wife and I couldn't agree on much of anything. Her pitfall was this; "The devil never stops whispering in Eve's ear!" My calamity was, "I was a boy trapped in a man's body!"

We were both young and immature and still very selfish. We constantly butted heads and spent most of our time jockeying for position. We were more interested in being "right" than being "righteous." How could we be righteous? We were both unbelievers!

Once we became Believers, there was a dramatic shift in the heavenlies. God became real and His grace overtook us. The real power associated with the POA is rooted in "TRUST" (Joshua 1:9) between the individuals involved. Once you trust someone, there is no limit to what you can do. Over a period of time, my wife and I learned to trust one another. We conquered various challenges in our marriage and, as a result, the two of us became one. In short, we are a united front against the wiles of the enemy. We stood in flat-footed defiance against him and told him that he was not going to destroy our faith or our marriage!

The love, joy and peace connected with the POA is immeasurable. Once we focused on being in agreement, we couldn't lose. We were able to do anything...together. The revelation that I received from the Holy Spirit is that we weren't in agreement with each other per se. We were (and still are) in agreement with God. We are in partnership with Him by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is the love that we have for God that broke down the walls of fear, selfishness, deception and confusion and built up the fortress of faith, giving, truth and clarity.

Through the POA, the voice of the devil has been silenced and a boy has become a man! Selah...
