1 What happens when we come into agreement.
The Power Of Unity What happens when we come into agreement.

2 Primitive Unity Genesis 11:6 6 And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.

3 The Power Of Unity Matthew 18:18-20 (NASB77) 18  "Truly I say to you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven  "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven  "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst."

4 Unity Is Born Of Love John 13:34-35 (NASB77) 34  "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another  " By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

5 Love Is Poured Out Romans 5:5 (NASB77) 5  and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6 Unity Of Love Colossians 3: And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Patiently enduring prolonged irritation.

8 We Are One In Christ Romans 12:4-5 (NASB77) 4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. May be illustrated by a magnet. It not only attracts the particles of iron to itself by the magnetic virtue, but by this virtue it unites them one to another. Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together.

9 The Essence Of Revival There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer. – A. T. Pierson I have never yet known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided. – D. L. Moody Believers are never told in the Bible to become ONE. We are ONE and we are expected to recognize that, be convinced of it, allow it to influence all our thinking and to act like it.

10 Unity From Glory John 17: "And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst love Me. A new nature.

11 The Source Of Their Power
Acts 1:14 (NASB77) 14  These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Acts 2:42-43 (NASB77) 42  And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43  And everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. It is a peculiar thing that the book of Acts does not highlight great preaching or great charisma of the preachers as the means of the church’s irresistible advance, but the unity of the believers and their devotion to prayer and fellowship and teaching. Nothing unites people as sharing the same affliction. Satan attaches far more importance to godly fellowship than we do. Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.

12 Humility And Unity 2 Corinthians 10:12 (NASB77) 12  For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. It is the false-humility of unbelief that says that we are not worth to be joined to Christ and thus to even the greatest among us because Christ himself exceeds all others.

13 Disunity Affects Our Prayers
1 Peter 3:7-8 (NASB77) 7   You husbands likewise, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, since she is a woman; and grant her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 8   To sum up, let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;

14 Unity: God Commands Blessing
Psalms 133: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard, Coming down upon the edge of his robes. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing-- life forever.

15 Unity Of Purpose 1 Corinthians 3: I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
