One of the greatest tools that a Christian has is the Law of Agreement. In Matthew 18:19, Jesus said, “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.”
If you speak and agree with somebody, then you agree and speak that agreement into the spirit realm. And if what you say agrees with God’s Word, the Father, in the spirit realm, will do what you speak. You may say, “What if I am asking for something that is not God’s will?”
This is why we have to pray God’s will, because it also works in the negative. These spiritual principles are just like gravity. They work in the positive and they work in the negative. They can help you or they can hurt you. Let me give you a biblical example of how this agreement worked in the negative. In Genesis 11:6, the people were building the tower of Babel in what is today the country of Iraq.
Look at what the Lord said about them building this tower: “And the LORD said, ‘Indeed the people are one and they all have one language…’ (These people were not Christians, they were not Hebrews, and they were not people who love God. They were people who worshiped false gods. They worshiped the devil. The reason He said they have one language is because they communicated and were in agreement by speech.) …and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.”
In other words, the power of agreement was working for the heathens in the spirit realm the same way that it works for Christians in the spirit realm.
How did God deal with this? Did he go down and kill them all? No. God said in Genesis 11:7, “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language…” (disrupt their communication) “…that they may not understand one another’s speech.” In other words, if the communication is broken, they will get out of agreement.
God got them out of agreement, scattered them abroad and that’s how He dealt with it. Why? Because when people are in agreement, even if they are in agreement with the things of the devil, their words carry power.
When you speak the Word of God, all of the heavenly host will move on the command of God’s Word. That’s why it is important for us to say what God says, believe what God believes, and speak what God speaks. When Jesus was here on this earth, He didn’t do or say anything that was not previously spoken by the Father. That’s the way we need to be.
If you want the positive power of God working in your life, then all you say and all your conversation must agree with His Word. The power of agreement can build a great ministry and can destroy the kingdom of darkness. The power of God is in your mouth if your words agree with the Word of God.
Agree with what God says about you. Agree with what God says about others. Agree with what God says about your ministry. Find someone else who believes God’s Word. Agree together and watch God manifest miracles in your life.
