SCRIPTURE:

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. (Matthew 18:19)

DEVOTIONAL:

The law of confession becomes even more powerful when we also function according to God’s law of agreement. Jesus taught about this law. “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” (Matthew 18:19).

Speaking in agreement with God and each other has always been God’s plan, but sinful man has used these laws for evil instead of good. For example, Noah and his family were the only ones of their time who still worshipped and served God, so God preserved them when He sent the flood to cleanse the Earth of all the evil. However, it wasn’t long before Noah’s descendants also began to ignore God’s desires and “do their own thing.” The Bible tells us that words were a major part of the problem.

Instead of obeying God and spreading out over all the Earth to replenish it and bring His presence, Noah’s descendants rebelled against God, stayed together, and settled down in the plain of Shinar. They began to build the city of Babel, which later became Babylon, a location that has caused problems for God’s people ever since. Under their leader, Nimrod, the people of Babel began constructing a tower, which they planned to build higher and higher until it went right into Heaven. (See Genesis 10:8–10, 11:1–5.)

Now we know there is only one way to Heaven, and it isn’t by our good works, no matter how high they reach toward Heaven. We can’t build or work our way into God’s good graces. The only way to Heaven is through the shed blood and resurrection life of Jesus Christ.

PRAYER:

Dear Father, thank you that there is power in the law of confession and the law of agreement. I declare that I have victory according to the Word of God in my situation (name it). In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
