I have been writing a lot recently about Decreeing and Declaring to establish God’s Word for Victory and Turnaround.
The LORD has also given us a powerful weapon for Agreement — with the power of two.
““Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” Matthew 18:19.
I have come to a new revelation regarding Agreement that many regard as negative — but when we understand Agreement — when The LORD explains the depth of Agreement — it can be powerful to “Agree to Disagree” as well!
As I revisited The Power of Agreement, The LORD took me back to a teaching I have given many times, that He gave me regarding “agreeing to disagree“.
I realize that sounds impossible — but I will clarify what The LORD shared with me once.
It was an experience in which I had been in Agreement (or thought I was) but I was very disappointed when I discovered we were not in True Agreement.
The LORD has used that experience to give me a picture of what defines True Agreement.
He then began to teach me, that there is a good alternative when there is not a heart-to-heart True Agreement on every point.
As we have been in an era of great chaos and confusion, I have noticed how rare True Agreement can be.
I have prayed diligently against the ‘double-mindedness’ that The LORD continues to point out to me in intercession.
I am so grateful for the understanding and revelation He has been giving me regarding double-mindedness and division. Double-mindedness can often be at the root of division.
Last night, as I was finishing a chapter on “Division and a Divided Heart” in my book, The LORD brought me back to a revelation He had given to me back in 2019 and which, not so long ago, I also gave in a teaching during a Group Prayer call.
There is a deep need for Discernment, as well as understanding the power of Complete Agreement according to God’s Word.
It is so easy to fall in the trap of Division — which then opens the door wide for strife.
Not long ago, I spoke about the division and the lack of communication that has been going on in The Church, as well as the world. It has truly been a time of deep deception and the need for heart-to-heart communication is truly needed in this hour.
The LORD spoke to me in intercession recently, “Daughter, as you yield to My Spirit in Communication, true Unity shall flow in hearts.
The Holy Spirit moves in Healing and Agreement when there is True Unity in the heart!”
As I pondered what The LORD spoke to me, I recalled a teaching that I had given a while back on “The One Thing that is needed when you are not in Agreement.”
It is important that you agree to disagree. That is not double-minded. It is a display of true submission — first to God and then to others.
Then, as one of my former pastors taught, “Let God be the Umpire!”
The key to understanding this truth is to understand what Agreement really means.
True, one-hundred percent Agreement, is Agreement to all that is being communicated: every line and every issue.
The LORD has taught me that “to agree to disagree” can be very powerful, especially in today’s upside-down culture.
If not in Total Agreement, the wisest choice is to agree to disagree.
When you exercise that choice, guard your heart against any judgment on what part you did not agree on, or see from the same viewpoint.
For example, if I am sharing a Word from The LORD — or even something in God’s Word — and the person (a believer or un-believer) does not ‘see it’ through God’s eyes — or have spiritual understanding from The LORD — I must be careful not to ‘point the finger’, be critical or judge.
If they are an unbeliever, I have learned to say, “You have made an interesting point..” (or whatever The LORD gives me) — but it is best not to say, “I understand”.
Many times in those situations, I might give an experience or example of my understanding.
However, I am very careful to listen to The LORD before sharing my understanding, because disagreement — many times — is a trap from the enemy for discord that opens the door to strife.
It is okay to disagree when one person has a different viewpoint, or when both of them have not gotten the same revelation. Just end the conversation — in peace!
After an experience of that nature, I go to my Prayer Closet and seek The LORD for complete clarification on my part, as I also pray for insight and understanding for the other person.
Remember this also: there is ‘somebody’ everyone will listen to, so I ask The LORD to send them to that person at the right time!
I have found that human reasoning (mindsets) is a huge blockage to spiritual insight and understanding.
The main thing is to just end the conversation in peace without judging.
There is great power in Agreement — but there is also great power in Agreeing to Disagree.
The key is understanding that everyone is at different levels of their walk with The LORD.
A new believer cannot reach the Agreement on The Word of God as a seasoned believer.
So always, give great Grace and Understanding when you come to the place of Agreeing to Disagree!
