Time To Get In Agreement With God
Introduction:
What It Means to Agree with God
To agree with God means to align our thoughts, beliefs, and actions with His will and purpose. It involves trusting in His plans, acknowledging His sovereignty, and living in obedience to His commands. This agreement requires a daily commitment to seek His guidance and to follow His word, allowing His divine wisdom to shape our lives. As believers, agreeing with God brings us closer to fulfilling our spiritual destiny and experiencing the fullness of His blessings.
"Learning to enter into complete and explicit agreement with God in all things is the most important task the believer faces. Praising God is robbed of meaning if you disagree with Him. True worship only exists where there is harmony between the worshipped and the worshipper. Witness is only Spirit empowered and God glorifying when harmony exists between life and lip. All religious acts are deprived of spiritual significance when unbelief manifests itself in disagreement with God."- Richard Owen Roberts

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (NKJV)

Of course! Here is the continuation of John 15:1-8, 16 in the NKJV:
John 15:1-8:
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."* (NKJV)
John 15:16:
"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you."* (NKJV)
Conclusion
Agreeing with God means embracing His perspective and aligning our lives with His divine will. It is a commitment to trust His plans, obey His commands, and walk in His ways. By agreeing with God, we open ourselves to His transformative power, allowing His grace to mold us into vessels of honor. This alignment brings us into deeper fellowship with Him, enabling us to bear lasting fruit and fulfill our God-given purpose. As we agree with God, we experience the fullness of His promises and become a testament to His glory and faithfulness.
