Good Afternoon Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
We continue our look into the Spiritual Laws of God’s Kingdom. We’ve already established Spiritual Laws are the foundation and infrastructure of God’s Kingdom, and of the world, and they are immutable [unchangeable]. The laws are going to work regardless of whether an unsaved person, saved and knowledgeable Believer, or saved but ignorant Believer uses them. The laws are put into motion by words and/or actions. There is no defense against a law, once put into action, other than the repentance of a saved Believer. The law will run its course.
Today we are focusing on the Spiritual Law of Agreement. We’ve already looked at the Spiritual Laws of The Seed, Sowing and Reaping, Manifold Return, and Confession. The Spiritual Law of Agreement works hand-in-hand with the other Spiritual Laws we’ve already examined.
Matthew 18:19-20
19 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.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:19, cited above, is given by Jesus, The Word. The one qualifier for the above verse is if the two or more in agreement ask according to The Father’s will. However, God’s will is not a secret. If you’re a student of God’s Word, you know God’s will.
Please notice what Jesus says in Matthew 18:19. Agreement between two or more Believers about anything of God’s Word, and according to His will, SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM by God our Father. There is not a “maybe,” a “might,” a “hope,” or a “possibility.” This is a “SHALL BE DONE.” This is an imperative statement from The Word Himself, Jesus. Two years ago, The Holy Spirit made clear to me that Matthew 18:18-19 and Matthew 16:19 are two of the most powerful Spiritual Laws that are rarely, purposely used by Believers. This “agreement” can be used for healing, prosperity, deliverance, and protection. God means for us to enjoy the fruits of righteousness [right standing before God] which are that we have healing, prosperity, deliverance, and protection.
I must say this as a warning. While Jesus meant for Matthew 18:19 to be a blessing to us as His sisters and brothers, as God’s heirs and children, it can also be a sword against us if misused. What do I mean by “misused?” I mentioned earlier Spiritual Laws work for or against us, depending on how we use them: knowledgeably or ignorantly. Ignorance is not a defense against a Spiritual Law, once put into motion. We, as Believers, have to be VERY CAREFUL that we don’t wrongly align ourselves with the Spiritual Law of Agreement. Today, if someone asks me to pray for or with them or join in with them in agreement, my first question to them is what verse or verses are you standing upon for the prayer or agreement? Why do I ask this? Because I do not want to wrongly align myself in an agreement and become a party to it. The Spiritual Law of Agreement is a contract you are signing when you participate in the agreement.
What I say next is not meant to offend or condemn anyone. It is said out of love and from someone who wrongly prayed and entered into agreements in the past. For instance, if someone asks you to pray for their healing and/or stand in agreement with them for their healing, it is a wrong prayer. Please let me explain before you throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Psalm 145:18
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in Truth.
This verse makes it clear God responds to those that call upon Him in TRUTH. What is The Truth about healing?
I Peter 2:24
Who His [Jesus] Own Self bare our sins in His Own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by Whose [Jesus] stripes ye were healed.
If God responds to those that call upon Him in Truth, what is The Truth about healing? I Peter 2:24 tells us “we WERE healed by Jesus’ stripes” from 2,000 years ago. We’re already healed. We just have to believe it, confess it, and receive it. It will manifest from the Spiritual to the physical realm. To ask for something we already have is wrong. It is not The Truth. It is the wrong prayer and the wrong agreement. So, what do we pray? Lord God Almighty, Jehovah Rapha, You, and You alone are The Healer through Jesus Christ. The world says I have cancer, but I thank You Father, that through the stripes of Jesus Christ I was healed 2,000 years ago. Cancer, you are of the curse and of death. You have no legal authority on or in my body. Jesus Christ, The Son of God, has put you under His feet, and, therefore, under my feet because I’m in the Body of Christ. Cancer, you are a name, and nothing more. I command you cancer cells that you are dead in and on my body in The Name of Jesus Christ. I align myself with The Word of God, and I come into heavenly agreement with The Word and with The Holy Spirit. Jesus has the keys to hell and death, and The Father has ruled me healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ. God sent His Son Jesus Christ to heal me and deliver me from all destruction. Thank you Father for Your goodness and Truth. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
The above prayer is completely in line with God’s will (III John 2 among many verses) and in line with God’s Word (I Peter 2:24 among other verses). All one does from the initial day of declaration, and forward, is thank and praise God all the time that your body was healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ and the gates of hell cannot prevail against your body. Philemon 1:6 makes it clear that by often acknowledging what The Truth says about us will cause Romans 10:17 (faith develops until the healing finally manifests physically) to kick in and we receive the physical manifestation of our Spiritual healing. Begging God for something we already have is not Truth. Jesus already provided us EVERYTHING we will ever need in one single victory. We’re not going to a victory, we’re coming from a victory, going to a success. There is nothing we need that Jesus has not already provided us.
Philemon 1:6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
It is vitally important as a Believer that we don’t wrongly align ourselves in a Spiritual Agreement by agreeing to wrong doctrine. Just as we can rightly divide The Truth (II Timothy 2:15), we can also wrongly divide The Truth and suffer the consequences, knowingly or unknowingly. satan is aware of the Spiritual Laws, and he will use them against us if we allow him to do so. He does this by deceiving us, as he did Eve, into believing and saying something that is not God’s Truth. This happens to a LOT of Believers. Once it is said, the Spiritual Law goes into effect. Only repentance by a Believer can stop the law’s operation. However, how much damage has been done?
In Matthew Chapter 16 we see Jesus ask His disciples Who they Believe He is, and Peter replies, “Thou art The Christ, The Son of The Living God.” A few verses later, Jesus is explaining that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things, be killed, and be raised again the third day. This time Peter rebukes Jesus saying, “Be it far from Thee Lord: this shall not be unto Thee.” What did Jesus do? He strongly rebuked Peter by addressing the spirit of satan who had caused Peter to say this. We have Peter on the one hand speaking The Truth in agreement with God’s Word and on the other hand speaking a lie to which Jesus would not agree. Instead, Jesus responded to satan’s spirit by giving him God’s Word. Jesus was not going to be silent and allow Himself to be brought into agreement with satan. Otherwise, He could just have let it go and ignored it. This is what we have to do as well. When satan comes to us with condemnation, with deception, and with temptation, we must not allow ourselves to come into agreement with him and invoked The Spiritual Law of Agreement. We must condemn satan by speaking The Word of God to whatever lie satan is pushing.
The following are just some of the thousands of promises God has given us:
We are the head and not the tail
We are above only and not beneath
We are lenders and not borrowers
Our seed is mighty upon the earth
Wealth and riches are in our home
We have good understanding and favor in the sight of God and of man
The enemy comes against us one way and flees from us seven ways
Terror and oppression cannot come near us
There is no weapon formed by satan that can prosper against us
Every voice that rises up against us in judgement, we shall condemn
God’s blessings overcome and overtake us
Everything we touch shall prosper
Our leaf [health} shall not wither
We are always fruitful
Angels protect and deliver us
No natural man can stand against us all the days of our life
God will not suffer the righteous to be moved
We lie down and have rest and peace in green pastures
The Lord increases us and our children every day
The Lord daily loads us with benefits
Plagues, viruses, bacteria, pestilence, etc. cannot come near us
Everything we owned is blessed and prospers
All of the above and so much more are ours if we come into Spiritual Agreement with God through believing in our heart and confessing with our mouth these things are so. These are not my words; these are God’s Words. We shouldn’t agree with what the world has to say. If we do, we are fools according to God’s Word. If we agree with the world, we set into motion The Spiritual Law of Agreement. And it can only bring us death and cursing. I really pray we won’t ignore this message. If we do, we are not going to resemble Jesus now or Jesus on earth. We are called to resemble and reflect Jesus to the world. Otherwise, we are worthless testimonies of God’s love and grace through Jesus Christ.
Next week we’ll examine The Spiritual Law of Separation.
The more time you spend with God, the smaller YOU are in YOUR eyes. The more time you spend apart from God, the larger YOU are in YOUR eyes.
In Christ,
Larry
