If
you have little faith but but you need answered prayer or if you need
answered prayer quickly, God has provided a means of igniting your
faith by joining with others.
You
only need
to look at Matthew 18:19-20 to learn this explosive principle
for answered
prayer. However, praying with others in agreement creates a
few special conditions.
According
to
Jesus we're guaranteed answered prayer when we follow His clear
instruction for
this form of prayer known as the Prayer
of Agreement found in Matthew
18:19-20.
This
particular prayer takes us beyond our own level of faith to
obtain
anything according to God's will (if it's in the Bible as a promise or
blessing).
For
example
if one suffers the loss of a job or someone needs to receive
healing.
These are needs that must be fulfilled quickly! So rather
than pray on
your own during such times, you can join with others in prayer for
greater
faith and power according to what Jesus said.
This
is
because collaborated faith efforts will greatly increase faith so that
prayer
results can be realized in a short time and in some cases
immediately.
However,
this
prayer must be used correctly according to the context
of verses 19-20. Please
read. I've given
you the New
International Revised Version
because
it is accurately stated yet easy to understand if you're new to the
"Word."

Prayer Bible Study Scripture
-Agree In Prayer For Powerful Results-
St.
Matthew 18:19-20 (NIRV)
19
"Again, here is what I tell you. Suppose two of you on earth agree
about anything you ask for. My Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 Where two or three people
meet together in my name, I am there with them."

=============================================
Complete Agreement!
The
key word
in verse 19 is agree. This
particular
prayer Bible study is going to teach you the significance of how this
one word
can impact the prayer of agreement for the positive or negative of what
you
want or need.
Never
take
any form of prayer for granted.
There are principles that God has set in motions and we must
follow them for the best results.
Reminder
You must
always
choose your
prayer partners very carefully!
Don't
be in a hurry with the prayer of agreement. Take time when praying with
others to choose those persons who have a like desire as you do to pray
correctly and who also want the best for you. Sometimes we might pray
with others who do not have our best interest at heart.
Remember,
they must "agree" with you in prayer.
Think About How
You Pray With Others
So many times we ask others to pray
with us without realizing that we're actually sabotaging our prayer
results. Why is this?
There are a number of factors that will cause this prayer to work
against you rather than for you. So it's important that when
two or three are gathered together in a united (everyone has the same
request) prayer they understand that there are principles involved.
Part I of this Prayer Bible Study will cover the general workings of
this prayer which is very POWERFUL!! If you intend to pray with others,
you must make sure they understand how to pray with you or it is best
to pray alone.
Please read over the scripture above one or two more times and meditate
upon it. This means to mutter it to yourself and get it into your heart
spirit. This will make it come alive in you as you
study. Just let it sink in.
Now, proceed with the prayer Bible study. You may not feel
any different, but you are building faith for the principles included
in this prayer. You'll study other lessons that will teach
you why this will work. For now, just trust me when
I say that faith comes by hearing which is another Biblical principle.
The Prayer Of Agreement Is
Based Upon The Prayer Of Faith
