We've Got To Agree | The Worshipper's Thought of the Day

As I listened to a cd of Kingdom teaching featuring one of my favorite worship leaders, Minister Steve Lawrence, there was something he said that inspired me to blog some thoughts:
"True praise requires us touching and agreeing about who He [GOD] is.  And He promised to meet between the faces of two people who can agree about who He is.  So I can't afford not to get along with you because the power of agreement is between us.  And if we're going to see a manifestation of His power, it requires us to agree."
It amazes me how much disagreement there is in the Body of Christ.  We claim to be so desperate for a move of GOD, yet we harbor so much disagreement amongst ourselves.  While I understand that--as humans--we do have differences, our differences should not be magnified to the extent that the manifestation of GOD's power is blocked by our selfishness and narcissism.  There's no point in desiring the miracles, signs and wonders that follow the Word when we can't even come together and agree with each other on what the Word says.

Instead of making mountains out of mole hills, we ought to celebrate that which we do have in common.  We serve a loving, faithful GOD who has given us everything through His Son, that we might be reconciled to Him and enjoy life eternally with Christ.  That confession alone should NEVER be overshadowed by our personal differences because we are ALL members of ONE body.  If the truth be told, the societal and cultural problems we face here in the earth realm are the result of our disjointedness as Heaven's citizens on Earth.  It is through the power of us manifesting Heaven's culture on Earth that we subdue and colonize the territory in which we live.  Therefore, when the people of GOD can finally come together and agree, THEN we will see a manifestation of GOD's power that will shake the earth from its foundations.  Until then, we're just having church.
