Multiplied Power of Agreement 1-15-09

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Lord of heaven and earth, be Lord of my life today. … "If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments…. I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land. You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you. For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you…. I shall set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people" (Leviticus 26:1-12, NKJV). You call us to obedience to Your Word so that no sin can separate us from Your Spirit. You call us to faith so that we will not be controlled by fear. You call us to unity so that You can multiply Your power being released through Your people when we are united in agreement with You and one another in Your purposes. Obedience, faith, and unity are means of Your grace to bring peace and joy to our souls and to our land. Whether under the law of the Old Covenant or the grace of the New Covenant, this these principles have never changed. "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. I have said these things to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete" (John 15:10-11). Our enemies are not flesh and blood, but the spiritual forces of darkness that come to steal and kill and destroy (Ephesians 6:12; John 10:10). But darkness cannot overcome the light -- the light of the glory of God dwelling in us by Your Spirit as we abide in Your Word. As we unite in the agreement of prayer and purpose, worship and warfare, intimacy and intensity, "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those also who hate Him flee before Him…. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God; yes, let them rejoice exceedingly" (Psalm 68:1-3, NKJV). Then we shall increase. Then we shall be fruitful and multiply, unhindered by the enemy of our souls and confirmed in the everlasting covenant of our God. So in agreement with You and Your people who seek Your face and walk in Your grace, let God arise in us, let the light of Your glory rise among us and explode in Your power through us today. Let us agree with You and one another in Your name, and see the multiplied power of God made manifest through Your mighty Presence in our lives (Matthew 18:19-20).Let Your enemies be scattered and Your name be exalted. And we will rejoice and be glad. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, we're off to a great start in our 4 Day Intensive School of Spiritual Ministry this week!
