Matthew 18:19 is a verse that most born again believers have heard and have tried to act on. If YOU have experienced NOT receiving your desired answer using this prayer, it may be that you really lack good understanding of it! Let's look at it:
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. KJV
The problem that many run into is not understanding the word "agree". This is the Greek word "symphoneo", which means: to be harmonious; to accord; to be in harmony with; also used for the fitting together of stones in a building. Can you imagine fitting together stones, bricks or boards that are very different in size and shape and expecting them to make a solid and sturdy building? How about people of varying degrees of skill and practice trying to play music together? Do YOU think that would make for a very harmonious melody? The Amplified Bible is very good here:
19 Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.
It is NOT possible for two people of very different levels of faith to agree beyond the lowest level of faith! In order to have the prayer of agreement work in the way that the God of the Bible intends for it to work is for both people to be growing their faith in whatever area is necessary by hearing (and hearing and hearing...) the Word of God (Romans 10:17)! The choice of how high our faith level in any area gets to be is totally and completely OURS! Make the choice today to grow your faith a little more every day by reading, studying and meditating on the Word of God! THEN you can pray the prayer of agreement in confidence that you HAVE the answer the moment you prayer! AMEN! Another part of that promise is found in verse 20:
20 For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them.
Guess what? When you and another born again believer can pray this prayer, in faith, you are joined in that by the God of the Bible! HALLELUJAH! WE cannot BE in better company than this! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Search My Heart":
Shalom in Him!
