If Two Shall Agree, continued

Praise the Lord, Beloved, and Greetings in the Name of the One who said, “The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). The one who inspired these words is none other than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is in His Name that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “If Two Shall Agree” - Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ don’t spend enough time with God to know His voice from any other. Thus, they’re often deceived by Satan, and left in confusion. This is why God ordained “two or three” to come together and pray (Matthew 18:19-20). There are deceiving methods of Satan that can get past one praying saint, but when “two or three” saints’ prayer agenda is on one accord, it is next to impossible for Satan to infiltrate the group with his deceiving ways.

Precious Ones, God did away with the solo prophetic ministries of Moses, Elijah, Elisha and Samuel during the time of the prophets Zechariah, Haggai and Malachi. All three of these men prophesied during the time of the reformation of Israel’s captivity. There was only a two-month space of time between the prophesies of Haggai and Zechariah (see Haggai 1:1 and Zechariah 1:1). God ordained this new structure to teach us that it is better to have support from others who share your desires and vision than to walk alone in prayer!

Chosen Ones, we don’t have, and never will have all the answers to life’s problems. There is only One who has “all power in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18), and that is Jesus our God. Jesus ordained His children to have strengths in certain areas to support others who have weaknesses in those same areas, and vice versa. What do you think Paul meant when he said, “We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves” (Romans 15:1)? He meant that when two or three pray about an issue, your weakness is okay because someone else in the group is strong in that area, and their weaknesses are okay because they are covered by your strength in another area. You get it - we are helpers one of another. As Solomon puts it, “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they [or one should] fall, the [other] one will lift up his fellow; But woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).

I will write more on this subject next week.
Until then, know this,
I love you all with the sincerest amount of love I can give,
In His Love,
Pastor William L. McCoy
