    Together: Unity of Gods People

    18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in

    heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19Again

    I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing thatthey shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20For

    where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst ofthem. Matt. 18:18-20

    Romans. 12:4, 5many members, one body.

    We belong to the most powerful kingdom in the universe. Our King created

    everything and has power over all things in the heavens, in the earth, in the watersand beneath the earth. All is subject to Him.

    Because Gods headquartersis in heaven, He has commissioned us, who are part of

    His family to be ambassadors on the earth. We are sent forth to spread the gospelto all men; but we have an enemy.

    Men and women whom we want to take the message are in prison; bound by

    the devil. He has their minds blinded by sin. We have to get to them. But we

    have to do it together. Weve also have our own daily struggles, and

    sometimes its going to take someone else besides us to overcome them. Unity

    is a strength to the body of Christ. Without it, we suffer and the ministry

    suffers.

    Unity

    1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!Psalm 133:1

    Unity is one of the kingdom principles, along with Love. If you notice, in order

    for both words to be implemented, there has to be at least two people

    involved.

    Lets look at examples of unity in the Bible:

    In the book ofActs, chapter 12, verse 5: Peter is shut up in prison andthe church is making intercession for himtogether.

    Daniel 3Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego stood together. Esther 4She calls a fast and all the Jews in Shushan and her and her

    maidens fasted and God delivered

    For there to be a marriage, there has to be at least two people involved. For there to be a family, which is a unit, there has to be at least two

    people

    In the raising of children, the best scenario is to have a father and amother

    Do you know that our enemy knows this? Unsaved folk get together and do

    things all the time; and they are quite successful.

    Genesis 11:4The tower of BabelDaniel prayer for 21 days. He didnt know it but he was dealing with the

    prince of persia, a major spirit that was preventing the answer to his prayer.

    I wonder what wouldve happened if he had someone else praying and fasting

    with him?

    Unity is so important that Christ prayed for us concerning this very thing:

    In John 17:
