FAITH CAPSULE: Coming together in agreement is the key to making your fellowship a power ground.

Mark 6:7-12, Hebrews 10:19-25

When sons of men joined together in unity to build a city and tower, the Lord responded by saying, “…indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.” (Genesis 11:6) When Jesus called the twelve disciples to Himself, He sent them out two by two. (Mark 6:7) Jesus’ decision to send the disciples out two by two was not an accident it was a purposeful decision. The sons of men coming together to build a city and tower was rooted in their agreement power. In the book of Matthew, Jesus actually identified the importance of togetherness in operating the business of the kingdom when He stated, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20) Evidently, gathering or fellowshipping together in agreement, in the name of God, is a power source. When gathering together among the believers is established, it becomes a dangerous ground for the enemy to play with. However, when the gatherings of believers fail to generate the kind of power the enemy cannot resist, it becomes evident that they are not in agreement. How is the power of God manifesting itself in your gathering? Are you an agent of disagreement or agreement in your fellowship? The word of God is true and it cannot be broken. Coming together in agreement is the key to making your fellowship a power ground. Jesus did not say “wherever two or three are gathered,” He said “wherever two or three are gathered together in His name.” Evidently, when there is an unwavering unity among believers, it becomes inaccessible for the enemy to toy with. What kind of gathering are you involved with? If your gathering is infested with envy, strife, and divisions, you are headed for danger because the enemy will make your gathering his camp. It is written, “For you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal behaving like mere men?” (1 Corinthians 3:3)  Carnality has no boundary as much as it applies to an individual, so it does apply to any gathering where division reigns. Carnality is a sure agent for the enemy. Fellowship among believers is not always the problem, but believers that carry “self” into the gathering are the ones operating as agents of the enemy. Believers have work to do for gathering to become a powerful ground where the enemy cannot violate. Coming together with a true heart will make gathering together a power base.

Prayer for today: Ask for deliverance from every spirit that contradicts the move of God in your gathering.
