Psalm 133

We all know the famous verses in Psalm 133 which speaks of the blessing that comes from unity. Unity it would appear to be one of the greatest keys to seeing and releasing the blessing of God over His people and even over the earth.

In fact, from the Tower of Babel, The Lord sounds concerned by what man is able to do when they come together in unity. In this particular example The Lord was forced to separate man by language to slow down the potential that comes from working together.

In Australia at the time when the pioneers began exploring this vast land, bullocks were used to transport most goods around the land. It is a known fact that one bullock is capable of pulling approximately 400kg with ease. It would therefore be assumed that two bullock can pull twice that. Yet those in the know tell us that two bullock are able to pull approximately 1200kg which equates to a 50% increase.

Jeremiah tells us that three strands of cord is not easily broken and when we were married we had this very scripture as the basis of our vows to one another. That is not only to be bound to one another but also to the Lord, inter woven into His will and purpose for our lives. This has throughout our twenty four years of marriage been our desire and I believe been very much the case.

It would therefore appear that as we are able to open ourselves up to others, even denying our potential abilities to go it alone, that the Lord bestows upon us a blessing. But not just any kind of blessing as the scriptures go on to indicate "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. It is like the dew of Hermon Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing-- life forever." This blessing covers not just the head but every part of the body and robes which speaks of the church and it's function on earth. In addition the blessing extends to the heavenly realms, Mt Zion, and into eternity.

What an incredible scripture when we realise the potential of coming together in unity. As I have mentioned prior, the word for agreement comes from the Greek word "sumphonio" which is where we get our English word symphony. This word actually means to "make the same sound, tone or to speak the same language" bringing into light the Tower of Babel. According to Matthew, when we are in agreement (or at least two of us) we can ask the Father of anything and it will be done. What an amazing promise.

Last Thursday some believers from the Blue Mountains and Penrith came together to pray for those persecuted around the world and in particular those whom IS have recently taken captive. I would encourage all believers reading this blog to agree with us that the enemies plans would come to nothing and those held in captivity would be released, not just in the natural but also in the spiritual.

Lets all stand in unity and agreement against the works of the enemy and see the Lord's hand of blessing come upon His body!
