TOGETHER IN MY NAME

​Matt 18:19-20: “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

Jesus manifests His presence in a special way when two or more of His disciples meet to pray. Here are a few thoughts about the application of this text:

(1) There must be agreement between the praying partners, (2) We must pray together in the Name of Christ. What Jesus affirms here is repeated many times in His teachings: John 14:13-14; 15:16; 16:24, (3) That for which we ask must be believed. Here is real faith, the confidence that prayer will be answered. The promise is that if we ask in agreement with the will of God, we know that the request is granted (1 John 5:14-15).

​What unspeakable joy! A confidence multiplied as believers’ prayer and believe together. ~ Pastor Joe Jacowitz
