In Matthew 18 the Lord >tells us to be in harmony, that is, in one accord. The >prayer in Acts 1 was also a prayer in one accord. Hence, the >first condition for carrying out a prayer meeting, is to >have the one accord. No one should come to the prayer >meetingwith God with a different mind. If we want to have a prayer >meeting with God, we must ask in one accord. > >[Matthew 18:19] is a very strong word. In Greek the word >harmony refers to music. Consider three persons - one >playing the piano, another playing the accordion, and the >third playing the flute. When they play together and one >plays out of tune, the sound will be very irritating. The >Lord wants all of us to pray in harmony, not with different >tunes. If we can be in harmony, then whatever we ask, God >will accomplish. Whatever we bind on earth will be bound in >heaven, and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in >heaven.
