The prayer of agreement is one of the most powerful tools God has given us. It is a prayer that Jesus Himself guaranteed would bring results every time. “...If two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask,” He said, “...it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:19).
When you don’t see the results He promised, I’ve found the problem usually lies in one of four areas.
Your words are powerful. And speaking the Word of God over every circumstance is exactly what we’re called to do (Mark 11:23).
But what happens when it seems like your confessions aren’t working?
There was a woman who was hit over the head and mugged while out running errands. She was so upset and couldn’t understand what happened. ““How could this happen to me?” she asked. “I confess Psalm 91 protection over myself every day!”
Maybe you’ve felt the same. You’ve confessed a scripture and then seen the opposite results and wondered why.
If you’ve been feeling “stuck” in your finances, health, relationships, business or ministry, there are some steps you can take to break loose and move forward as God desires you to do.
1. Pay attention to the “ifs” in the Bible.
John 14:13-14 says, “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (NIV).
Since it is God’s will that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9), it is important that we intercede for those who are lost, even if they say they refuse to receive Jesus. There are many testimonies of those who are the most stubborn coming to Christ and being saved! So be encouraged and keep praying.
