11.14 The prayer of agreement
We have talked about the prayer of faith. A person can call forth the promises of God through the prayer of faith. Today, we will talk about the prayer of agreement, when more than one person comes together in prayer.
If two or more people have spiritual authority over the subject matter, they could pray the prayer of faith together. This is called the prayer of agreement. For example, a couple can pray in agreement over the family, or members of a church can pray in agreement for the church, or churches in a country can pray in agreement for the country.
The Bible says, “If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven” (Matt 18:19). There is great power in unity. When two or more believers agree together in the prayer of faith, the power is multiplied.
In the Old Covenant, one person could put 1,000 to flight and two could put 10,000 to flight (Deut 32:30). It was a multiplication factor of 10 times. Three people would probably put 100,000 to flight. In addition to that, we also have a better covenant today.
When a couple is united in faith through the prayer of agreement, great power and blessings will be released. It is God’s perfect will to have couples united in faith. This also explains why Satan works hard to sow discord in families. He is afraid of the power of unity. When the universal Church of Christ is united, great power will be released through that unity.
In Acts 4:24-31, when the authorities persecuted the apostles, they prayed with one accord for boldness to preach and for signs and wonders to follow. The place of prayer was shaken; they were filled with the Spirit and they spoke with boldness. Subsequently, in Acts 5:12, it was recorded that through the hands of the apostles, many signs and wonders were done among the people.
There is strength in the unity of faith. It is good to be in fellowship with people of faith who believe in the full promises of God. They will be able to stand by faith together with you through the prayer of agreement.
