The Prayer of Agreement Wednesday November 10, 2021
“Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” —Matthew 18:19
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. (Romans 8:26–27)
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
—Romans 10:17
We stand on God’s Word and instead of looking at the storm, in the face of it, we say as Paul did: “I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me” (Acts 27:25). The opposition will relent and the answer will come. We stand our ground. God’s Word works! Our trust is not in our ability to manipulate and access God's power to apply to our situation, but in God and His Word. We seek God's will above what we want at any certain time. This is the attitude of our hearts upon which we can proceed to faith for what we pray for. Everything is in the context of the knowledge that God has a plan. Our prayers are important as Holy Spirit works in us with hidden influences to get us in agreement with God's will. That is the solid rock of our salvation. This rock is Jesus. He is always present to rest in our hearts, our souls and exchange so that He protects us from false notions and brings us into agreement in accordance with His will.

New Power of Prayer in Faith

There is a new power of prayer in faith without doubting given in these verses. Prayer has authority to change things. We are told that We must be willing to forgive if we are to experience God’s power.
Beginning here with the scriptural account of Jesus teaching on faith , we will also be looking at the hindrances to faith and how to overcome them.
The clearing of the temple and the cursing of the fig tree (11:12–18) portray the messianic authority of Jesus to act for God, and here this authority is passed on to Jesus’s followers through the power of prayers made in faith.

Partakers of the Divine Nature
2 Peter:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.…
Hebrews 4:12 — God's Word is Living and Active
11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. 12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.…

The Polynesians had known for generations that land was there because their voyagers had seen a long white cloud on the distant horizon. They knew that when a cloud stayed in one place over a very long period of time, there was land beneath it. They called New Zealand the “Land of the Long White Cloud.”
Faith is like that. It is voyaging to an unseen land, journeying to an unknown future, but it is not mere guesswork, or chance, or superstition. There is evidence or facts behind faith, facts that suggest conclusions. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Observe also that one basic principle of prayer is set forth by this example of delayed response. It is the principle of undiscourageable persistence. Jesus taught his disciples that “they should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1). There may be hindering factors of which a praying Christian knows nothing as he wonders why the answers to his requests are delayed. Nevertheless, he is to keep on praying. It may be that he will not receive an answer because he has given up on the twentieth day when he should have persisted to the twenty-first day. If Daniel had become discouraged, as many Christians do, then he might not have received the words of ch 11.
Daniel 10:12-13…“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

The certainty of our hope has a remarkable effect on our lives. Hoping Christians cannot live carelessly, seeking self-indulgence and pleasure. Prepare your minds for action: literally, ‘Gird up the loins of your mind.’ The figure describes what a man wearing a long robe had to do if he were to go into action—gather the garment up between his legs and tuck it into his belt. Like Israel in Egypt, we have been called out of our slavery to begin a journey to the promised land. The Israelites were commanded to eat the Passover, their last meal in Egypt, ‘girded’ for travel. God calls his servants to be girded for mission; Elijah to run and Jeremiah to prophesy. Peter may have been thinking especially of the words of Jesus, ‘Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; and be ye yourselves like men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may straightway open unto him.’

A Strong Spirit Sustains the Person

“The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?” PROVERBS 18:14
Peter does not begin to exhort Christian pilgrims until he has celebrated the wonders of God’s salvation in Jesus Christ. The indicative of what God had done for us and in us precedes the imperative of what we are called to do for Him. ‘Without the pinpointing of what God does, the essential is addressed to a helpless sinner, the victim of his illusions; it becomes a commandment that crushes or that drives to vain and presumptuous efforts. Our hope is God’s gift, an inheritance created for us by Christ’s resurrection (1:3). Because we have been given hope, we are called to live in it. –Romans 1:17 | For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Peter’s exhortations continue through his letter. Yet he also continues to remind us of the reality of redemption that underlies his call to obedience. In the rest of this chapter he summons us to the obedience of hope, hope that is marked by readiness and holiness.
3 John 2—NLT: “Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit. The Degree of Success We Experience Is Directly Connected to the Condition of Our Spirits

All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:25–27)
When the Counselor comes, whom I send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, He will testify about me. (John 15:26)
Now I am going to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, “Where are you going?” Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. (John 16:5–7)

Comforter Advocate and Helper
Wednesday Oct 20, 2021
Wednesday Oct 20, 2021
Air Date: 10 21 21
The term comforter includes advocate and helper. In 1 John 2:1, where John speaks of Christ as “an advocate with the Father,” the RV margin gives comforter. In Scripture, a paraclete, the Greek term for comforter, is an intercessor, a capable helper in time of need, or a person called to the side of another to aid them.
A certain missionary was struggling with the language of the natives among whom he labored. When he came to “advocate” in John 14:16, he tried to translate it into a word or phrase expressing the meaning to the native mind but was baffled. Calling to his native assistant, he said, “Come over to my side and help me with this word.” Thus, all at once, the missionary had his translation: “one called alongside to help.”
During His earthly ministry, Jesus had been God’s advocate with men, pleading God’s cause with them, seeking to win them for His Father. He was ever at the call of saint and sinner alike who needed His help. He was going away however, and both He and the Father would see to it that their own would not be left without another advocate on the earth. This further heavenly Comforter would not be recognized by an unspiritual world, but all true believers would know and welcome Him.
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever.… After a little while the world will behold Me no more; but you will behold Me; because I live, you shall live also.… These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. (John 14:16, 19, 25, 26)
