GOT CHURCH? - 3

Matthew 18: 19, 20

Again I 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 by My Father, who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them.

GATHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS

The third reason that we must go to Church is that there is a special manifestation of the presence of JESUS when two or three gather together.  The first reason that we must not neglect the gathering together as the Church is, it expresses our love for GOD. The second reason that we gather is to build up the brethren in spiritual strength. The third is that there is a special manifestation of the presence of GOD.

The verse from Matthew underscores the power of the gathering of the Church.  When "two or three agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father, who is in heaven" This is the power of corporate worship and prayer. How is this so powerful? Because JESUS is in the midst.

The assembly of the born-again believers, has the ability to bind on earth and therefore, bind in heaven or loose on earth and therefore, loose in heaven. (Matthew 18: 18). Prayers are answered and people are healed when the Church unites in corporate prayer.

AGREE, TOUCH, ASK, RECEIVE FROM GOD
