The Power Of Agreement

Something powerful happens when you find someone to agree with God’s promises over your life. If you’ll get around people who will believe alongside you, you’ll see God’s favor released in a new way.

Dear Lord,
Today…….I am asking all my prayer warriors to say a prayer that may help others. So many people are hurting right now. Many are struggling with finances and need jobs. Some are facing foreclosure and don’t even know how they are going to make it from week to week..

Many are lonely. . Many are heartbroken. . Many are facing sickness and health is fading. . Some are dealing with difficult family members. Many have lost HOPE.. Tonight, let us put our prayers and faith together decree and declare breakthrough over our families. Financial miracles WILL take place. Jobs WILL be found. Our Bodies WILL be made whole & sickness WILL flee. Marriages and relationships WILL be restored. Family members WILL find Jesus. Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….

There are times you don’t need sympathy. You don’t need people to feel sorry for you.
A get well card is fine. But what you really need is people that will release their faith for you.
People that will speak light into the darkness, healing into the sickness, abundance into the lab.
God bless you.
It’s great to have you with us today.
And if you’re ever in our area, please stop by be a part of one of our services.
We would love to have you. I hope you’ll stay connected with us during the week.
We have a daily podcast. You can download youtube channel, watch the messages any time you can follow us on social media and we’ll keep you encouraged and inspired.
But thanks for tuning in today. I like to start with something funny.
And I heard about this man, he was driving through an intersection that was monitored by cameras.
If he ran the light or broke the law in any way you’d receive a ticket in the mail.
So he made sure to go through it extra slowly. But he noticed the camera flashed and took his picture.
He thought that’s not right. He turned around down and drove through it again even more slowly.
This time, the camera flashed and took his picture again. He thought this thing is messed up.
They cannot give me a ticket out of spite.
He drove through it three more times each time waving at the camera and smiling.
A week later, he received five tickets in the mail for not wearing his seatbelt. Perfect.
Say it like you mean it and don’t do that ready. This is my bible.
I am what it says. I am. I have what it says. I have.
I can do what it says I can do today. I will be taught the word of God.
I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name.
God bless you. I wanna talk to you today about the power of agreement.
We’re all believing for a dream to come to pass or praying for a situation to turn around.
We’re standing in faith, trusting that God is working.
But something more powerful happens when you have someone agree with you for what you’re believing for.
Jesus said, if any two of you agree concerning whatever you ask, it shall be done by my father in heaven.
He didn’t say just believe for yourself, just stand in faith alone and it will happen.
He said, find someone that will come into agreement with you.
He was showing us the power of agreement and when you’re believing, to accomplish a dream or take your family to a new level, to overcome an illness, you need people with bold faith, not people that say, I don’t see how it can happen.
You really think you’ll get well, my grandmother died of that same thing. Doubters or a dime a dozen.
You need people to say, if you’re bold enough to believe it, I’m bold enough to agree with you.
You need a faith partner. Someone that will take the limits off of God with you that will believe for what looks impossible and what’s limiting some people is they have no agreement.
They’re believing on their own and that’s good.
But when you come into agreement, it releases favor in a new way.
Healing breakthroughs, abundance that you won’t see by yourself. The scripture says all of God’s promises are yes and amen.
When God puts a promise in your heart and you believe it, you have the Yes, you know it’s going to happen.
But the yes alone is not enough. You need to find the amen, find someone to agree with you.
Someone that says, you believe God is restoring health back to you.
You believe that by His stripes, you are healed. You have the Yes, count me in, I have the amen.
I agree with you that healing is coming. I agree that you will live and not die. I agree.
The number of your days God will fulfill or you believe you’ll break the addiction.
You believe that no weapon formed against you will prosper.
You have the Yes, you’re standing on the promises now. Find the amen.
Not an oh no, you really think so. You’ve struggled a long time. It doesn’t look good.
God’s promises are not. Yes and oh no, they are. Yes and amen.
You need to come out of oh no agreements come out of negative agreements.
People that doubt water down your faith cause you to get discouraged.
If you’ll get rid of the oh no people. God will send you amen. People.
People that say you believe the addiction is not permanent that it can’t control you.
You have the Yes, good news. I have the amen. I agree.
Greater is he that’s in you than what’s trying to stop you.
I agree whom the sun sets free is free. Indeed.
When you have a faith partner, someone that will add the amen.
It doesn’t just encourage you, but it causes angels to go to work.
Miracles are set in motion favor is released. When my mother was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer.
In 1981 the doctors told my father that she had a few weeks to live. There was no treatment.
They could give her doctors do everything they can to keep people alive. Start the healing process.
But sometimes they run out of options when the problem looks too big and you don’t see a way out.
It’s easy to get an agreement with the negative with what the experts say. They’ve given me the facts.
They have a lot of experience education. I guess that’s my lot in life.
No, don’t agree with the, oh, no. Respect the people, respect their training.
But there is someone God has ordained for you that has the amen.
Someone that will say I’m not moved by what the facts say. I’m not discouraged by how impossible it looks.
I know God can do the impossible. You have to find the amen.
You may have to bypass a dozen naysayers friends that don’t believe coworkers that doubt relatives that think you’re far out.
But if you’ll not settle and get in agreement with the doubt, then you’re going to come to a divine connection, a faith partner, a power partner.
Someone that knows that God is on the throne that he’s fighting your battles, that he has the final say.
And in difficult times it’s so important who you’re allowing to speak into your life.
When the battle is raging, you can’t afford to have oh no voices. I don’t see how it can happen.
The opposition is so strong, so be respectful. But get out of there.
Don’t spend your time with people that drain your faith. Find people that increase your faith.
People that inspire you to believe that come into agreement with what you know, God placed in your heart.
My father drove my mother home from the hospital.
That Monday afternoon, the doctors had just given her no hope. It was very devastating.
But when they got home, the first thing they did was go to their bedroom, they got on their knees and they came into agreement.
They said, God, you said you would restore health back into us.
You said the number of our days you would fulfill.
You said we will live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.
My mother’s faith alone was not enough. My father’s faith alone was not enough.
But when they came into agreement based on what God promised their faith became more than enough.
They had the Yes. But when you add the amen, the most high God goes to work that activates supernatural power.
And there were plenty of people that doubted plenty of. Oh no. My mother didn’t look well.
She was frail, her skin was yellow and some of them were good people.
They were loving and caring, but they were only looking at it in the natural.
And there are times you don’t need sympathy. You don’t need people to feel sorry for you.
A get well card is fine. But what you really need is people that will release their faith for you.
People that will speak light into the darkness, healing into the sickness, abundance into the lack freedom into the addiction.
And I’m all for being caring, helping those that are in tough times.
But if you want to give someone a real gift. Come into agreement with them. Be a power partner.
They need someone that will look beyond the natural and believe for the supernatural.
Someone that will add the amen to their. Yes, there are enough. Oh, no people.
Oh, no, you don’t look well. Oh, no, you lost that client. Oh, no, I saw the report.
Stay away from, oh, no. People if you allow them. Oh, no. People will talk you out of your healing.
Oh No, people can keep you from your dreams. Oh No. People will stop your greatness from coming out.
Do yourself a favor. Say goodbye to the oh no people and find some amen people.
That’s one thing you can count on.
When you come to Lakewood, you’re going to find amen people, not doubters but believers.
When you listen to me, you’re going to hear the amen.
I’m going to come into agreement with what God promised you that you will fulfill your purpose, that God will do more than you can imagine that your latter days will be better than your former days that you will see beauty for the ashes, that what was meant for your harm.
God is turning to your advantage.
When Nehemiah was rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, there were two main critics trying to talk him out of it.
The scripture says they invited Nehemiah to the plains of Ono to meet with them.
There was a city called Ono.
Oh and oh, it’s significant that these critics were going to try to convince him not to move forward with his dream in a place called Ono.
It’s no different today. There will be people that try to get you to come to Ono.
Oh, no, you won’t get well. Oh, no, you won’t meet the right person.
Oh, no, you can’t accomplish that dream. Stay out of.
Oh no, you don’t belong there all you’re going to find in. Oh no. Is doubt, discouragement can’t do it.
Never gonna happen. I’ll make it real simple. Oh, no. Is a no, no.
Pay attention to who you’re in agreement with.
Who are you letting speak into your life if it’s oh no people, it’s time to come out of that agreement.
That’s going to limit you. Come into agreement with faith filled favor filled. All things are possible.
People, you need to be in agreement with dream releases with people that don’t limit you to what you can do what you have, who you know, but people that understand the greatness of our God, people that know He can do more than you can ask or think see, there are dream releases and there are dream stealers.
Dream releases are people that are bold. They’ll believe for what God put in your heart.
Even when they don’t see how it can happen. Dream stealers are just the opposite.
These are people that will try to talk you out of your dream they look at the circumstances, study the facts.
They’ll come up with a dozen reasons why it’s not going to happen and they’re not bad people.
They just can’t see what you see. They don’t feel what you feel. They don’t hear that. Still small voice.
It’s a test. Are you going to get an agreement with the negative? Go to the land of, oh, no.
Believe their doubt. Water down your dream. Or are you going to say, I appreciate your opinion.
I love you as a friend, but I’m not coming into agreement with your doubt. You’re an oh no person.
I need an amen person. No offense. But you’re a dream stealer. And I’m looking for a dream releaser.
Come into an agreement with someone that ignites your faith, someone that believes in what God put in your heart.
Someone that inspires you to keep believing when it seems impossible. There’s power in agreement.
That’s what my parents did on December 11th, 1981 on their bedroom floor, they came into agreement that God would heal my mother.
When they finished praying, they said to each other, we’re not going to break our agreement.
We’re going to stay in faith that what God promised will come to pass. Doubt would come negative thoughts.
The medical reports, not improving mother would walk through the house and I would hear her ask my father, are you still in agreement?
He would say yes, do. And I’m not gonna change my mind.
The scripture says, if any two of you agree, God will do what He promised.
You don’t have to find a dozen people that agree.
You may not be able to find five people, but there is one person that God has already ordained will come in agreement with you for what you’re believing for.
There is a power partner that is not going to break their agreement.
They’re going to stand with you through thick and thin. When others doubt think it’s impossible.
Like with my father, they’re going to keep believing. They’re going to keep speaking faith. It didn’t happen overnight.
But month by month, my mother got better and better. Year after year, she defied the odds today.
40 years later, she’s still healthy and whole, there are battles that you can’t win alone.
There are dreams that won’t come to pass with just your faith, your hard work, your effort.
God designed people to come into agreement with you.
When they agree a power is released a favor, a blessing that only comes from the two of you joining your faith.
It’s the power of agreement, but sometimes we’re trying to do it on our own.
I’m strong, I’m anointed, I’m favored and yes, that’s all true.
But you are stronger when you have a power partner, someone you’re in agreement with husbands and wives, you need to come into agreement what you’re believing for your dreams, your health, your Children, one of you has the yes, but you need to add the amen.
You need to do like my parents. This is what we’re believing for.
We set the time that we come into agreement and we’re not going to break our agreement every day.
Lord, thank you. That what you promised is on the way, speak faith into each other.
Declare what you’re believing for. The scripture says two are better than one.
When one falls, the other can lift him up.
When doubt comes negative circumstances, you can encourage your spouse, you can lift up that other person.
Let them know we’re not moved by what we see. We’re not going to break our agreement.
God is faithful and what he promised is on the way.
When our son, Jonathan was applying for college, we were praying believing that he would get accepted to the right school and it was a big deal.
Our first son going off on his own and we were concerned and trusting that the right doors would open.
A friend of ours, Roxanne who taught our Children in home school has a son the same age as Jonathan.
Practically every morning. I would hear Victoria on the phone with Roxanne.
They were praying over our Children speaking faith into their future, declaring what God promised that they are mighty in the land that they will fulfill their destinies.
That God was ordering their steps, that they were surrounded by favor that they would get into the right college.
They understood the power of agreement.
The scripture says one can chase 1000 but two can put 10,000 to fly.
They were coming into agreement with the yes. And the amen.
A few months later, both of these young men were accepted to the same university and they roomed together and now have graduated and are fulfilling their purposes.
Instead of worrying about your Children, instead of worrying about your finances, worrying about your health.
Why don’t you find a power partner?
Someone that will agree not with your doubts, not with what you don’t think will happen.
Not with the allies, the enemies whispering, but someone that will agree with the promises God has declared over your life.
You have the Yes. Now you need to add the amen.
A friend of mine is a professor of music at a large college. She’s also a professional trumpet player.
She teaches a class called experimental music in one of her lessons. She has a grand piano on the stage.
It has a microphone so the class can hear it.
She takes her trumpet and plays the B note when she hits that note perfectly pure.
When the pitch is right on the sound vibrations from the trumpet, find the B note on the piano and cause it to vibrate without it being pushed.
You can hear the piano even though no one is playing it.
The B note from the trumpet has a sound that causes the B note on the piano to resonate in the same way.
God has ordained that certain people will resonate from your sound. What you’re dreaming about, what you’re believing for.
It may not mean much to some people.
We’re just doing life, their friends, passing them in the grocery store, all good people, but they don’t hear your sound.
But there are people specifically that when they hear your dreams, when they see your vision, when they know what you’re believing for something resonates with them, they wanna help you, they wanna believe with you.
They wanna come into agreement. You don’t have to beg them, talk them into it. Hope that they’ll help you.
It’s a divine connection. God has orchestrated them to be a power partner to help push you into your destiny.
Luke chapter one, an angel appeared to a young lady named Mary told her she was going to have a baby without knowing a man that seemed impossible.
Everything in Mary said, you must have heard wrong that defies the laws of nature.
How could someone come into agreement with Mary? This was so far out.
She told her fiance Joseph that she was pregnant but it wasn’t a man. It was the Holy Spirit.
He thought, yeah. Right. He was planning on breaking off the engagement.
Sometimes people close to you won’t be able to see what God put in your heart.
Mary decided to visit her cousin Elizabeth in another city.
She was an older woman that had been baring her whole life, but she became pregnant with John the Baptist.
She’d been carrying the baby for six months but hadn’t felt any kind of movement.
She wondered, is this baby still alive? Maybe I got my hopes up for nothing.
She was starting to doubt and be discouraged.
About that time, Mary came knocking on the door when Elizabeth opened it and saw Mary, the scripture says at the sound of Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in Elizabeth’s womb.
All she said was hello, just greeted her.
But the sound in Mary’s womb connected with the sound in Elizabeth’s womb and the baby started kicking.
What am I saying? Someone can hear your sound.
Someone is gonna cause your baby to le someone’s gonna show up as a power partner.
Mary came into agreement with Elizabeth and caused her baby to leap.
Elizabeth came into agreement with Mary when no one else would believe she was pregnant.
Everyone thought she was far out.
But Elizabeth knew the same God who caused me to get pregnant against the odds has caused Mary to conceive without knowing a man.
They came into agreement with each other and they saw something uncommon out of the ordinary Elizabeth gave birth to John, the Baptist.
Mary gave birth to Jesus. The Messiah God will always have someone to come into agreement with you.
If you’re around people and your baby never leaps. They’re not the right people, they may be fine.
They’re friends, but you need people to come into agreement with you that can hear your sound.
You don’t have to convince them, try to talk them in to what you’re dreaming about, persuade them to get behind you.
That’s not the right people love them, be good to them, but don’t let their, oh no.
Keep you from your amen. When we heard the compact center was coming available, we met with a group of attorneys to see what they thought.
Our chances were the odds were against us. It was a long shot.
But deep down, I knew it was supposed to be ours. I had the faith that it could happen.
I went in there excited. I told the people what we were thinking and how this was God opening the door, the main attorney, this man with all this experience, well known, very smart.
He went on for 15 minutes telling us how it wasn’t going to happen.
How there were too many hurdles, how the city wouldn’t let the facility go to a church on and on.
I left there depressed. My baby didn’t leave my baby, went to sleep. He put my baby on tranquilizers.
Three hours later, something rose up in me so strong.
I thought I am not coming into agreement with that loser.
I mean that man, he does not control my destiny. He didn’t breathe life into me.
He didn’t put this dream in my heart. He doesn’t know what I’ve heard.
Don’t be discouraged when your sound doesn’t resonate with someone else. They’re not supposed to be for you.
They’re not in tune with what God is speaking to you.
If I had come into agreement with that doubt, negativity can’t do it. Spirit.
We wouldn’t be in the compact center. If you’re in agreement with the wrong people, you can miss your destiny.
Everyone is not going to be for you. They’re not gonna understand. They’re gonna think it’s too far out.
You don’t have what it takes.
If they don’t make your baby leap, move on, don’t come into agreement with their doubt, their negative spirit.
You can’t let the oh no people keep you from the amen that’s coming.
God has the mirrors lined up the people that will make your baby leap.
Elizabeth’s husband was a man named Zachariah, an angel appeared to him and told him that Elizabeth was going to have a baby and they were to name him John instead of saying to the angel like Mary, I believe it.
Let it happen. Zachariah said in verse 18, how can this be?
I’m an old man and my wife is well along in years, the angel said, I am Gabriel.
I stand in the presence of Almighty God, but because you doubted you won’t be able to speak until the baby is born for nine months.
Zachariah couldn’t say a word God knew if Elizabeth came into agreement with his doubt. This can’t happen.
We’re too old. It would have kept the baby from coming.
Zachariah was the, oh no, but Mary was the amen.
If you’ll come out of the agreement with the Zacharias, the Marys will show up the right people will find you people that make your baby leap.
We let that attorney know that he wasn’t going to be a part of our team and some people thought we were making a mistake.
He was highly recommended. But if someone is trying to convince you to water down your dreams, settle for less than what’s in your heart, no matter how smart talented experienced, they’re not for you don’t come into agreement with that limited vision.
Wait for the right person. About two weeks later, another man came along. He was very influential.
He had been in Houston politics for many years, knew everyone, but he was far out.
He loved to party, use rough language, didn’t have any kind of faith background.
The first time I met him, he said, Joel, I like you. I wanna help you get that building.
I said, you really think it can happen. He said, I don’t think so. I know it can happen.
My sound somehow resonated with him and my baby started leaping.
He was so confident, so bold, so positive, just the opposite of the other man.
He made things happen that only the hand of God could have orchestrated.
He thought he was doing it, but I knew it was God working behind the scenes using a man that wasn’t raised like me, but he was a divine connection.
Here we are in the compact center who you’re in agreement with is going to determine whether or not you reach your destiny.
Maybe you don’t have anyone around you that’s full of faith, believes that God can do great things.
That’s why God has you hearing this. I wanna come into agreement with you.
I’m believing for what you’re believing for.
I’m in agreement that the dreams God put in your heart will come to pass that the right doors will open the right people will show up.
You will see favor and increase and go further than you’ve imagined.
I’m in agreement that you are healthy and whole, that the sickness is not permanent healing is flowing into you.
You are getting stronger, you are vibrant, energetic, you will run and not be weary with long life.
God will satisfy you. I’m in agreement that you are free from every addiction, every bad habit, from depression, anxiety, every stronghold is coming down that will not hinder you the rest of your life.
You will walk in freedom, wholeness, joy, peace, victory.
I’m in agreement that you will lend and not borrow that you will see overflow, that abundance is coming explosive blessings, blessings that catapult you to a new level.
And I’m in agreement that your Children are mighty in the land that they stand out in the crowd that they are full of wisdom, they make great decisions.
They are great leaders. They will fulfill their purpose. Now, here’s the key.
I’m not gonna break my agreement every morning.
I’m gonna thank God that what you’re believing for will come to pass. I’m gonna be a power partner.
Now, you gotta do your part, don’t you break your agreement? Stay away from, oh no.
People stay in agreement with amen people.
If you do this, I believe and declare like Mary and Elizabeth, you’re going to see God show out in your life.
Favor is coming, healing is coming. Breakthroughs are coming, the fullness of your destiny in jesus’ name.
And if you receive it, can you say amen today?
