Matthew 18:19-20 "Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
Find a good and faithful friend, companion, sibling, etc., who will stand in the gap with you about an area where you are being challenged. Jesus reminds us that if we are abiding in his purpose and walking in his will then we have the power and authority to agree with like-minded believers for anything and to expect a favorable end. This does not mean that you should run out and ask a friend to agree with you about some ludicrous Idea or desire and believe that just because you both think it is good for you that it will "magically" happen; nor does it mean that because you have been standing in strong affirmation with someone and nothing has happened, that this scripture is untrue. By the contrary what we must realize is that, if and when we are in alignment with God's will then we are inline with his purpose. When God purposes something through us he provides all that we will need to accomplish that work. But the provisions may not drop out of he sky. We must ask, seek and find. God wants you to expand your horizons and move into another dimension. Every time you see a billboard about enrolling in a program or see someone doing what God has told you to do, you get convicted, but it seems the money or time or confidence to move ahead is out of your reach. If God has purposed it then he is placing all the variables in place. Find a believer you trust and tell them your desire and ask them to pray for your need; now you are unlocking and releasing that which God has already set out on the shelf for you to claim. But we must be careful who we share our ideas with; don't you know- you can even ask God who should stand with you when you lift petitions to him. Be blessed Dr. joAnn
