Can two believers agree together on/for ANYTHING and it will be done? |

Anything at all?
Or, are there parameters within which this promise operates? |

If you'll just agree with me right now that the Publisher's Clearing House is gonna finally come through for me this year, Old Timer, I promise to give a substantial offering from it to your ministry. |

“Again I [Jesus] say unto you, That if two of you shall AGREE on earth as touching any THING that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:19,20)
The word that Jesus used for “agree” in the above verse literally means “to stipulate (demand) by contract, to arrange definitively by covenant.”
Therefore, when Jesus said “If two of you shall agree,” He was actually saying, “If two of you will stipulate (place a demand upon) our arranged contract or covenant… ”
So the answer would be no , if your request does not lie within the boundaries of the covenant that god has given to us. |
