Hi Brian! 

The word for this week is "touching". The verse we'll be looking at concerns the Prayer of Agreement! Matthew 18:19:

19 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 of my Father which is in heaven. KJV

This is the Greek word "peri". Strong's Concordance says: through, around, with respect to. Thayer's Greek Lexicon adds this: around, about, concerning, as respects, on account of. The prayer of agreement is a powerful prayer that is especially valuable for a husband and wife! It is so important that I want to take part of it this week and the rest next week. This prayer can be used for any and every promise that is found in the Word of God. Whatever need you may have 'touching', or concerning, or with respect to, or on account of, your family, your home, your life, or anything else, if you find the Scripture that covers that particular need and you both add your faith to that, it WILL be done! The added 'oomph' for that promise is found in the very next verse!  Verse 20:

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. KJV

When you join your faith together in the Word, you are joining with HIM, making a threefold cord (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) that cannot be broken! He is right there with you backing up His Word! We'll continue next week with the word "agree"! In the meantime, here is an older song by Hillsong where the word 'touching' means connecting with! "Touching Heaven, Changing Earth":


Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
