Our paragraph topic is: (The power of united prayer) Part 1.
Christ has given his disciples specific instructions on how to win the battle with sin. For the battle is with sin and the weapon is love. So, he tells them to bind sin on earth. Bind sin, that it will not enter into thy brother or sister. Bind evil, from thy brother or sister. Bind lust, bind false witness, bind hatred, bind anger, bind greed, bind wantonness, bind all evil that would possess thy brother or sister and take them away from thee. For sin will come. Sin will tempt. And sin will seek to take away thy brother or sister. But Christ has given them the tools that they need to do battle with sin.
With all these tools he gives them even further instructions as to what they may do to combat sin. Loose sin from thy brother. For once sin takes hold it will not let go. So Christ told his disciples that whatever they loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Whatever evil they separate from thy brother or sister on earth will be carried out in heaven. Evil will be separated by the powers in heaven. And then he gives them another tool to use against sin. He provides them with the ultimate tool that they can use against evil, the power of agreement. "I say to you further, that if two of you shall agree on earth about anything at all for which they ask, it shall be done for them by my Father in heaven."
They will ask for help. They will ask for forgiveness. They will ask for mercy. They who are in need, they who believe in the truth, they who awaken from the darkness, will seek thy help. They will seek the help of thy brother. They will seek the help of thy sister. They will seek the help of the church to break the grip of sin from all the brothers and sisters . And it is the duty and responsibility of the church to use all the powers given it by Christ to combat sin. For sin will come. Sin will tempt. Sin will take hold. And sin will not let go.
But Christ told his disciples that they must agree. He told them that they must recognize that they have the power to combat sin. For within them and through them sin will be defeated. But it will take the combined efforts of the spirit of two or more. It will call for the agreement of two or more spirits. It will require the agreement of the life force, of the light within, of the spiritual soul, to break the hold of sin. They will ask for thy help. They will need thy assistance. They who believe in the love of Christ, will look to the light of Christ from the depths of their darkness and ask for forgiveness to overcome the grip of sin. And it is up to two or more of you to reach into their hearts and see the call of the light of Christ that pleads for help.
Christ has given us a new life. He has restored us to the life that our Father in heaven gave to man before the fall. And with this new life we are the light that shine forth into the darkness. For the Advocate is with us. The light of Christ is with us. The spirit of awareness in the truth resides in us. And it is with that truth that we go forth into the world to carry the message that Christ has given us of the new life that is within each of our brothers and sisters. If two or more agree in the light of life within Christ then whatever they ask for will be done by the Father in heaven. This is the tool that Christ gave to his disciples and to us today.
Know the truth of who you are in Christ. See the light of new life that is within you. Welcome the light of the Holy Spirit that will come to you and you shall know the truth of who you are. For the Advocate will come. The Advocate will reside. The Advocate will protect. The Advocate will provide. And the Advocate will counsel in all things. For it is with the Advocate that we walk in the faith and truth of who we are. All things are given to us on earth. Yet we are not of the earth but are citizens of heaven, created by our heavenly Father in his image and likeness.
Come! Seek the knowledge and truth of your salvation. For in it and with it and through it you will see a new light. You will know a new truth. You will open a new door to path of your life. And you will know a new peace that surpasses any fleeting peace held here on earth. For the Father loves you. And Christ is with you. And the Holy Spirit will come to you. And you will be set free.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ. The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
