WINNING SOULS IS EXCITING!
Yesterday we talked about THE POWER OF AGREEMENT! (Matthew 18:19)
- Agreement is the forerunner to the manifestation of the power of God.
- Satan fights agreement and attempts to sow division.
- Although our church isn't perfect - through unity - we see success as we operate with POWER, INFLUENCE & EFFECTIVENESS!
- On the flip side of UNITY there is DIS-UNITY. Disunity causes us to focus on our DIFFERENCES which results in DIVISION.
- Satan knows that if he can keep the Church divided, he can keep the Church powerless.
- There is also an unholy unity. (Genesis 11) tells the story of those who built the tower of Babel. Their agreement gave them power.
- The people we choose to be in agreement with says something about what things in our lives are important and what things are unimportant.
- Two is an important number. God has designed it so that it takes two to multiply. When you get at least two...you move out of addition and into multiplication.
- God steps into the mix and MULTIPLIES!
- The devil knows that if he can get us to get OUT OF AGREEMENT with God then he'll use his hissing voice to create DISCORD in our lives.
- God is a God of order. Disorder is meant to cause distraction.
- Numbers 1 - 10 ~ the first verse of each chapter starts our saying, "The Lord spake unto Moses."
- However, chapter 11 & 12 start differently - 11:1 "and when the people complained...", 12:1 "and Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses..."
- DISCORD and DISAGREEMENT STOPPED THEIR MOMENTUM.
- God deals with their discord and starts speaking again in Numbers 13 - "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, "
Coming into AGREEMENT isn't about being a "YES MAN" - coming into agreement is about understanding that when agreements are allowed to be broken, the people's ability to do what God has called them to do is also broken.
Someone is waiting for us on the other side of our OBEDIENCE and our ABILITY to come into agreement.
