A) Disrupting civilization once again, The David Spoon Experience takes on the norm thinking process regarding Matthew chapter 18, verses 19 through 20. While many people use the DAP, the dynamic application principle, regarding two or three agreeing upon anything, it's clear from the structure of Scripture that this is connected to the previous verses.

B) This does not negate the power of people agreeing in faith together in presenting their petitions before the Lord, because there is more power in that than just an individual praying alone. Jesus makes that absolutely clear in the text. However, the text is directly connected to a loss of relationship and restoration. Understanding it in the context of Jesus' presentation, this has to do with God responding to prayers that are geared towards reconciliation and forgiveness. We know this for sure because of the following verses, where Peter asks specifics about forgiveness.

C) Having said that, this does not take away from the power of two people agreeing together in the name of the Lord for petitioning God and seeing the faith of combined people being more effective than the faith of a singular person. It just doesn't mean if two people agree upon it, they are both going to become multimillionaires because the premise of the prayer is that it is done in the name of Jesus to honor Jesus. It has to do with Christ-like character and kingdom building.
