Jesus said —IF two of you agree on earth as touching anything that they ask, then it shall be done. It will be done for us by His Father. For when two or three are gathered in My Name there I am in the midst of them. Gathered in His name, means we gather in agreement with Jesus.
Matthew 18:19 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. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. KJV
If what Jesus said is true and we know that it is, then where are we missing it? Why don't those things happen we ask for and where is He in the midst of our asking? He isn't there, because we don't agree with each other or with Him. Thus, we gather in discord. In our disagreement what can possibly come to pass if the main objective is to be in agreement with Jesus? If we are in discord, Jesus is not going to show up. Why would He show up in the midst of our disagreement?
So often I hear others tell me their opinion of Jesus. It makes me cringe because it is them being their own god. Making Jesus who they want Him to be by their opinion, changes who Jesus is, to who they want Him to be. Then of course as we have gathered in one’s own opinion, in discord with each other and with Jesus —we have nothing but chaos.
When we don’t agree, like Peter, we should go to Jesus and ask Him what is true. With His response, we can come into agreement with Jesus and then with each other. Then when gathered in His Name, in agreement with Him—we can have what we have asked for.
—Matthew 18: 21 Then Peter came up to Him and said, Lord, how many times may my brother sin against me and I forgive him and]let it go? [As many as] up to seven times? 22 Jesus answered him, I tell you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven! AMPC
Peter caught on to what Jesus was saying. Was it because He was willing to do what Jesus said? Was it because He wasn’t trying to get away with something? Did he actually believe in Jesus? What about us, is it because we can’t see Jesus with our natural eyes we think we have an excuse to try and get away with something?
I guarantee you if you get on your knees and ask Jesus His opinion, He will give it to you. Then if you believe, you can pray in agreement with Him. Then He will be in your midst and you will have what you asked.
