 Promise #230: If two of you agree in prayer, I will do whatever you ask. Matthew 18:19 (WEB) Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. In today's promise, Jesus speaks to his disciples and encourages them to pray. In the verse before this one, He tells them that whatever they bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever they loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. I wonder how the disciples reacted to Jesus' statements. After all, they were just fisherman and common folk, yet Jesus exhorted them that they had an audience with the Creator of the universe at any time, night or day. Reflecting on this passage in the past, I have always wondered about the words ‘anything.' Did Jesus really mean that they could have anything they asked for if there was agreement by two or more? It seems that He said what He meant because anything means anything! However, we know from other Bible verses that the things that Jesus refers to are definitely linked to the things already in God's heart. My prayer is that this promise will encourage each one of us today! God invites us to link our hearts with other believers on earth, come before His throne room, and make our requests known to God. Don't be timid or unbelieving. Come with a heart full of faith, believing that your heavenly Father hears your requests and wants to answer your prayers! Read our other daily posts...
