Let's Get Together

Together we are unstoppable!  Jesus told us about the power of agreement in Matthew 18:19 ...if two or more of us shall agree on earth on anything, it shall be done for us by the Father which is in Heaven.

What happens when we come together in faith?  Power to operate in the Kingdom of God is released upon us. 

The Bible says the formula is:  TWO or THREE who GATHER in HIS NAME.

He shows up when we show up. (Hence the emphasis on gathering together.)
  • But what if we don't show up?
  • Ever wonder what happens at church when you're not there?
    • Power is releasing...but its releasing only on those there to receive it.
    • Faith is building...but its building only in those there to receive it.
    • Grace is flowing...but its flowing only on those there to receive it.
David said in Psalms 133:1-3 that when BRETHREN DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY it is like:
  1. The PRECIOUS OIL (anointing of the Holy Spirit)
  2. Upon the HEAD (Jesus),
  3. Running down the BEARD (leaders of the church) and 
  4. Running down on the edge of his GARMENTS (Congregation).
The oil makes it way from the HEAD to the HEM.
  • Only those in alignment receive it.
  • In other words, only those who choose to COME TOGETHER will partake.
  • His anointing will flow through Jesus Christ, our church leaders and inevitably onto us.
  • Friends...when your church leaders are blessed...prepare yourself for an abundant harvest....IF YOU'RE THERE TOGETHER to receive it.
Unity not only produces a flow of anointing (Holy Spirit in our lives) but it also produces DEW (favor and grace of God)
  • From where? 
  • From Mount Hermon (the mountain where Jesus took Peter, James & John up to to pray - law replaced by the grace of God - Matthew 17), descending upon the mountains of Zion (a picture of grace), for THERE the Lord commanded the blessing - life forevermore!
EVERYONE SAY "THERE"!
  • Where is there? 
  • There is where God commands the blessing.
  • There is the place of agreement.
  • There is the place where law is replaced by grace.
  • There is the place of grace and favor.
  • There is the place where we are no longer judged by our conduct but upon His perfection.
  • There is where the glory of the Gospel rains in FAVOR and GRACE.
  • There is where the Lord COMMANDS a blessing!
When we come together in His name, we release the power of agreement.
When we come together in unity, we release grace and favor.
