“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. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”
—Matthew 18:19-20
Imagine for a moment the living, moving Spirit of God dwelling within your sisters and brothers in Messiah. Now envision each one carrying this Spirit into a prayer meeting. With each additional person, the presence of God increases in the room, and His diverse personality begins to manifest as the saints interact.
This is what happens when the body of Yeshua dwells together in unity. “It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes” (Ps. 133:2). The oil that flowed down Aaron’s beard represents the anointing. There is an anointing that flows out of unity within the body of Messiah.
Father God longs for His children to humbly lay down every prideful grudge at the foot of the cross and come together in His Spirit so that mountains are moved and the enemy is overcome. The Scriptures say, “If one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart” (Eccles. 4:12).
Beloved, there is power in numbers. As we join together to take the gospel to the world, the life-changing power of God is released upon the earth. So by the blood and name of Yeshua, overcome those voices that tell you not to financially and prayerfully support organizations that minister the gospel of Jesus. Meet with sisters and brothers in Messiah, in whatever format is possible, so the Spirit of God is stirred up and prayers against the enemy are answered.
In opposition to Satan, let’s boldly band together so that we are strengthened and Father’s truth and love are spread to the ends of the earth. As the gospel of the kingdom is “preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations,” then comes the return of our Lord and Savior (Matt. 24:14)! United in Messiah, we gain strength for today and make an impact for tomorrow.
Father, forgive me for holding onto hurts and offenses because of pride. I humbly choose to let go of the grudges and offenses that have held me in bondage and rendered me weak and powerless. I band together with Your church that is naturally imperfect but perfected in You. Fill us and equip us to move mountains and build Your kingdom!
