How to Effectively Use the Prayer of Agreement pt 5

We have been studying about how to effectively use the prayer of agreement. Yesterday, we left off with a look at Mark 11:22-24. As you know, I stand 100% on this scripture. But to help us get a look at the power that is available, let’s look also, as we get started today, at Nehemiah 9:38, which promises us that we can, and have the authority to do so, that is 

Make a sure covenant and we are swearing to it – in agreement…you can do this where your ministry is concerned, where your healing is concerned, where your finances are concerned or where your family is concerned….but YOU have to believe it to receive it…

Now let’s go look at Mark 11:22-24             

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart - but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

So, once again, I say unto you (sounds like Jesus, doesn’t it?  Well, IT IS. Praise God)… anyway, 

Go to the Bible and find the answer to the problem you are facing.  Then make the decision to believe God for the answer.  Remember, the 1st time you dove off the high diving board as a kid?  I do.  I was scared stiff!  But, you had to make the decision to jump!  And it came down to the point, with people waiting behind you usually…and you not wanting to look embarrassed and climbing all the way back down...bumping into people….that you just make the decision to jump!  

And once the decision was made to do it…you just go for it!  Then you are committed!  Amen!  It works the same way…when you made the decision to get born again!  I did the same thing when I made the decision to enter the ministry and again when I made the decision to enter full time ministry...I’m just going for it!  Amen!

2 Corinthians 10:5 says to bring every thought into the obedience of Christ.  It will come to pass – yes – amen!  Think on these things, Philippians 4:6-9 says.  When you do these things…when your mind will try to turn your heart away from God’s Word and God’s promises…you have to make the decision to go back to the Word again and read it….make yourself do it…and then make the decision “if that is what God’s Word says…then that is the way it is going to be…amen!  As far as I am concerned…this is already done, in Jesus name…amen!”

Then, when people come up and ask you, “how ya’ doing brother?”  You can speak the  problem – and loose the entire ball of wax right there….or you can speak the answer…you can just say, “We are praising God for the victory!”   They will look at you real funny…they know what you are going through…but you can say, “my wife and I – or my husband and I – or my family and I – put ourselves into agreement that God’s Word is true and we are just praising God because He will take care of this situation!” 

When you do that – you are standing in agreement with each other and in agreement with the Word of God – which is Jesus (the Word made flesh, amen!)…Now you are in Faith…you are walking in Faith…you are standing in Faith…you are confessing in Faith….you are maintaining Mark 11:22 “have Faith in God!”….and the answer is coming!  You are in agreement with Jesus – and His promises ALWAYS COME TO PASS!            

Mark 11:22 says, “Have Faith in God!”   That is what YOU need to rely on totally with whatever prayer request you are presenting before God.  In order to trust totally on Him to answer your prayers….you must first have a relationship with Him…and you get that through His Son – JESUS.  

I want to pray with you right now…if I were there with you…I would take you by the hands and look into your eyes right now…and ask you…are we in agreement that God’s Word is the final authority in this situation?  If you he hawed around…I would tell you – GET INTO THE WORD AND BELIEVE IT…  and when you were finally ready to say, “YES – THE WORD WILL WORK” then I would say, ok…let’s pray!

Amen!
