From the Apostle's Pen

The Power and Purpose of Agreement

By Apostle Joseph Hobbs, Th.D.
Matt 18:18-20

Matt 18:18-20


Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 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. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (KJV)


"Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers (meeting) together, each one looking away to Christ are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship." - A.W. Tozer


The power of agreement is the release of the Holy Spirit to perform the works of Christ in the earth through each of us as ambassadors of the kingdom of God. Beloved, there is much that the Lord purposes to do through us that can only be fully understood when we are in right relationship with Him and are walking in agreement with one another.

The purpose of agreement is to give God an open channel within the earth that He might display his glory. The glory of God is the revealing of the full weight of God's nature in the earth. Ifwe want to see the nature of God displayed in signs, and wonders, and miracles, it is essential that we be in right relationship with God and with one another. The heavenly headquarters where our God abides wants to release heaven's best upon the earth through us. We are on the brink of a powerful move of God in the earth. He is merely awaiting his children to line up in agreement with one another. The power of agreement cannot be underestimated. His Word declares very succinctly that when the saints operate in the prayer of agreement heaven is delighted to respond with favor. Touch and agree with one another it shall be done!
