Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heave

 Unity:

 

            Two agree about what they ask:  

 

Matthew 18:18-19

18 “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.

19 “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

 

            Talk about powerful! Again, the idea isn’t that we happen to decide on binding or loosing something, and then God goes along with it. The idea is that they have already been bound or loosed in Heaven. We determine that we should follow suit here on earth. Then God puts it into effect here as it already is in Heaven.

            Being a mathematician, I don’t like the word anything in verse 19. Suppose I have ten very desirable objects on my desk and say, “Take anything from my desk”. Some people would only take one object thinking I meant any one thing. Others might take two or three. And still others would take all of them. However, if I say take everything from my desk, there is no mistaking what I meant. That’s the idea here. It’s not just that the two or three happen to agree on some one thing that they may ask, and that’s what would be done for them and not the rest that they didn’t agree on.  It means that they are in total agreement about everything they may ask. That unity brings about the results desired.  

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "My children, you have no idea how much power you have together. You have no idea how much you could accomplish for My Kingdom if you would work together. You can do all things through Me provided you work together. There is nothing you cannot do when you cooperate with Me and with one another. This is not optional. You must work together for the good of My Kingdom. You cannot accomplish anything of value apart from Me or apart from one another. I have planned it that way so that you must cooperate with one another. Together you can overcome the devil. Apart, you are food for his delight. He will devour you if you try to operate outside of Me or outside of one another. He cannot overcome you if you work together in Me. You are a solid rock when you work together in Me.”

 

            81. I will operate in unity with my fellow believers. Therefore just two of us agreeing on everything we ask can be certain that whatever we ask shall be done.
