Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.
blessed be the name of the Lord blessed
be the name of the Lord his name is
Jesus so Lord we thank you for all you
have done for who you are and for giving
us this day in Jesus mighty name blessed
be your Lord for where two or three are
come together in my name there am i
among them the words of our Lord Jesus
it takes two or three not 20 not a
hundred you don’t need a thousand to be
able to reach God you need two or three
in agreement an agreement coming
together in his name in the name of
Jesus that is all that is needed and
then you have contact of course you can
pray directly to the Lord but when you
come two or three together knowing his
word effecting his decrees it is more
effective and to the point
this same from the Lord comes in the
chapter in Matthew 18 that is about who
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven
well when two or three come together in
his name in his name they are the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven coming
together in whatever way possible by
whatever means possible blessed be our
Lord blessed be our Lord so Lord we
thank you for who you are
we thank you for your love and mercy we
thank you for all the things that you
have done we thank you for being our
Lord in Jesus mighty name amen
blessed be our Lord blessed be your
lover in Jesus mighty name the Lord
gives his mercy whom He will but those
who are alive in Christ those who follow
Jesus come together one way or another
by phone by message by by video by
sitting in the same room
there is communion if there is no
communion among the saints there is
nothing so let us be aware of who our
Lord is and what he did and what he
requires so that we might be the
greatest in heaven Matthew 18 puts that
question forward and the answer is
simple you must be as humble as a child
as humble as a child willing to take
direction losing that pride of having to
do things your way as humble as a child
the chapter is not about three different
stories or four different stories it’s
about one story communion in humility
like a child able to take Direction
discipline in the body of Christ knowing
your position and doing the things that
you have to do according to your
position having unity in prayer
having one doctrine hmm Christ crucified
salvation for all mankind that is the
leading doctrine above everything
unified in prayer to bring more people
to Christ so that more people may know
Christ and for whatever things you have
need of in first important spiritual
things but you can ask for things of the
world also and being able to forgive
starting by forgiving yourself for
forgiving all those who have done wrong
to you for forgiving all who come back
to you I have a simple saying for I am a
simple man I will make war with everyone
who makes war with me and I will make
peace with everyone who makes peace with
me period
I try to be at peace with all man I try
to be at peace with all men but that
does not mean that all men try to be at
peace with me
so I am simple and humble as the Lord
did so I do I will say what I have to
say I will here to whom has something to
say but whoever comes up in war well
that’s how I will meet him standing in
the gap fully armored fully armored
ready to give peace or to make war
blessed be our Lord serving the Lord at
all times
no matter who it is giving the word
of the Lord whether you be close to me
or far away you will get the same word
the Lord does not change neither do i
blessed be our Lord in Jesus mighty
name amen and may we all may we all be
able to come together for where two or
three are come together don’t worry
about how many people come together
whether they be – whether they be for
whether they be a thousand if all have a
true heart and I know that in every
earthly church there are at least two
who believe in God otherwise the church
would not stand I’m not saying that all
thousand believe in God I say there are
at least two who believe in God I’ve
never been to a church where no one
believes in God in all churches I’ve
seen at least to believe in God in all
fellowships with the Lord Jesus Christ
in all ministries there are at least two
who believe in God for where two or
three are come together in his name he
is among them may we all come together
in his name blessed be our Lord may we
all come together humble as children
disciplined knowing our position and
what to say and what not to say
United in prayer praying for the right
thing not for the things that the Lord
has already rejected and having within
our heart the law of forgiveness
whenever anyone comes to make peace make
peace with them blessed be our Lord in
Jesus mighty name
Matthew 18 so Lord give us your word
speak with your voice speak into the
hearts of those who are under the power
of your voice in Jesus mighty name amen
Matthew 18 verse 1 in that hour the
disciples came to Jesus saying who is
greatest in the kingdom of heaven who is
greatest in the kingdom of heaven and he
took a little child and put him in the
middle of them and said truly truly I
say to you if you do not have a change
of heart and become like little children
you will not go into the kingdom of
heaven whoever then will make himself as
low as this little child the same is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven as low
as this little child the same is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven and
whoever gives honor to one such little
child in my name gives honor to me but
whoever is the cause of trouble to one
of these little ones who have faith in
me it would be better for him to have a
great stone fixed to his neck and to
come to his end in the deep sea a curse
is on the earth because of trouble for
it is necessary for trouble to come it
is necessary but unhappy is that man to
whom the trouble comes and if your hand
or your foot
the cause of trouble let it be cut off
and put it away from you it is better
for you to go into life with the loss of
a hand or a foot then having two hands
or two feet to go into eternal fire I
think that was clear and if your eye is
a cause of trouble to you take it out
and put it away from you it is better
for you to go into life with one eye
than having two eyes to go into the hell
of fire let it not seem to you that one
of these little ones is of no value for
I say to you that in heaven their angels
see at all times the face of my father
in heaven what would you say now if a
man has a hundred sheep and one of them
has gone wandering away will he not let
the 99 be and go to the mountains in
search of the wandering one the Lord
always searches for his little ones the
angels who are taxed with protecting
them with watching over them are always
before his face he always has an account
of them of those who are as humble as
little children he always knows their
state where they are what they’re doing
why and how those little children those
grown up man those grown up women those
children who are as humble as little
children without pride and having faith
in him and he always if one of them is
lost he always goes in search of that
wandering one
and if he comes across it truly I say to
you he has more joy over it than over
the 99 which have not gone out of the
way even so it is not the pleasure of
your father in heaven for one of these
little ones to come to destruction the
greatest in the kingdom of God are those
who are humble like little children
having faith in God I mean I’ve seen
people who have no faith in anything be
humble
difficult but they are there but they
well they have no faith it is to no
avail
all that humility it is just for an
image to the world Matthew 18 verse 15
and if your brother does wrong to you go
make clear to him his error between you
and him in private if he gives ear to
you you have got your brother back again
there is a way of saying things to those
who are near to you
say it to them in private if they listen
and they have done something against you
you’ve got your brother back again but
if he will not give ear to you take with
you one or two more one or two more that
by the lips of two or three witnesses
every word may be made certain and if he
will not give ear to them let it come to
the hearing of the church and if he will
not give ear to the church to the body
of Christ let him be to you as a Gentile
and a tax farmer truly I say to you
whatever things are fixed by you on
earth will be fixed and have
and whatever you make free on earth will
be made free in heaven whatever you
condemn is condemned
whatever you praise and raise up to the
Lord is raised up to the Lord again I
say to you that if two or of you are in
agreement on earth about anything for
which they will make a request it will
be done for them by My Father in heaven
but remember this it’s not just to
people in agreement the enemy uses that
tactic he gathers many people to have
thousands in agreement to do evil yet
the Word of God depends highly on one
thing what did the Lord Jesus ask to
everyone he healed do you believe I can
do this let no one who has any doubt
think that he will get anything from God
you must have unwavering faith remember
who the Lord is speaking to these men
came after him leaving behind their
fathers their mothers their wives their
children their jobs everything they left
behind to follow the Lord remember the
context it’s not just oh we have two
people in agreement so it shall be done
the enemy does that to no avail
Matthew eight again I say to you that if
two of you are in agreement on Earth
about anything for which they will make
a request it will be done for them by My
Father in heaven for where two or three
are come together in my name there am i
among them then Peter came and said to
him Lord what number of times
may my brother do wrong against me and I
give him forgiveness so remember who is
the greatest in heaven the humble like
children those who try to get their
brothers back who have done something
against and whom they feel have has done
something against them don’t just get
upset and and do this and I’m gonna show
I’m gonna remember every time you think
I’m gonna show I’m gonna remember the
one who first said I will ascend above
the throne that is the spirit of the
enemy the obedient be humble listen to
correction there is a reason why when
people take the correction it changes
the whole environment but if you are in
Pride if you are in Pride your words
cannot reach the Lord for the Lord
frustrates the proud
Matthew 18 verse 21 the greatest art a
humble the greatest art once together
but brother’s back then Peter came and
said to him Lord what number of times
may my brother do wrong against me and I
give him forgiveness
till seven times for the new seven is
the number of completion Jesus says to
him I say not to you till seven times
but till 70 times seven always always
for this reason the kingdom of heaven is
like a king
who went over his accounts with his
servants here comes another story to be
understood and at the start one came to
him who was in his depth for ten
thousand talents for that is what the
Lord does he gives you life he gives you
a spirit so that you are different from
the rest of creation and then at some
point he comes to make up this account
what have you done with that life with
that spirit on that day he will come in
clouds of glory judging every man for
his works and at the start one came to
him who was in his depth for ten
thousand talents and because he was not
able to make payment his Lord gave
orders for him and his wife and his sons
and daughters and all he had to be given
for money and payment to be made the
Lord is trying to explain in a worldly
way how it works how the Spirit looks at
things
you see there is a head and if that hat
is corrupt everything else that belongs
to that hat is corrupt some people who
are doing other things in the name of
Jesus try to send me stuff or give me
stuff I do not ingest it I do not take
it I send it away
I leave it where it is I throw it away I
give it away even Abraham knew that all
the man of God they may defeat the enemy
but they will not take anything from the
enemy that comes with the spirit of the
enemy for to do so is to accept the
thoughts the spirit that gives it and so
for that reason the spirit says the Lord
gave orders for him the head his wife
and his sons and daughters and all he
had and all he had to be given for money
and payment to be me payment to be made
also remember that a lord came and was
sacrificed for this payment that has to
be made is too great for any man to be
able to make it there’s not enough wives
not enough sons and daughters not enough
of all that you have that can pay for
all the transgressions that is the grace
and mercy of the Lord that works on you
when you have faith in Him
blessed be our Lord Matthew 18 verse 26
so the servant the one
of whom all was to be given in payment
for his transgression so the servant
went down on his face and gave him
worship saying Lord give me time to make
payment and I will give you all I will
give you all I will give you my all I
will dedicate myself to you Lord instead
of going after money and the Lord of
that servant being moved with pity grace
and mercy with pity let him go and made
him free of the debt but that servant
went out and meeting one of the other
servants who was in depth to him for 100
pence he took him by the throat saying
make payment of your debt unforgiving so
that servant went down on his face
requesting him and saying give me time
and I will make payment to you and he
would not but went and put him into
prison till he had made payment of the
death so when the other servants saw
what was done they were very sad and
came and gave word to their Lord of what
had been done then his Lord sent for him
and said you evil servant
I made you free of all you debt that
because of your request to me all who
are unforgiving all who hold on
something against this group and that
group and those are bad and she is bad
and this one know one thing all the raw
requires from you is that when they come
and make peace with you that you be open
to make peace with them all the Lord
requires of you is to take out the
hatred out of your head and do what you
have to do what he wants you to do
holding things one against another is
not of God is not of God I will forgive
everyone who comes for forgiveness I
will make peace with anyone and everyone
who seeks peace and I will make war with
everyone who is proud and comes up in
war blessed be our Lord Matthew 18
verse 33 wasn’t not right for you to
have mercy on the other servant even as
I had mercy on you you see we always
think about the Lord as being this
gentle and soft person yet he is the
lord of the heavenly armies his words
are don’t you think that if I need it if
I wanted if I requested twelve legions
to be here that they would be here he
has all that power but it is by his good
will by his great and mercy that he does
not destroy utterly destroy the body the
flesh and the soul of those who oppose
him know that know that once the Lord
has given you his grace and His mercy if
you fail to be able to give that grace
and mercy to others when they come and
ask for it remember the question of
Peter how many times shall I forgive my
brother when he asked for it
for a lot of people say just forgive but
there are the Bible is a one complete
thing it is a oneness
do not throw you do not give your pearls
to swine do not give your pearls to
swine I have done that many times and
all times I have been burned at all
times it has gone wrong at all times for
the enemy will take do the same thing
again and come again to take for the
devil does the same thing over and over
again to the same people blessing be
your Lord for his teaching for his word
for his righteousness for His grace for
his mercy and for his justice blessed be
your Lord Matthew 18 verse 33
so his reproach to that servant whom he
set free was was it not right for you to
have mercy on the other servant even as
I had mercy on you remember he pleaded
with the Lord Lord forgive me and the
other servant pleaded with him hey
forgive me I will make give me some time
that’s what they did not in Pride humble
blessed be our Lord so it is not about
just forgiving and saying oh I forgive
because when you do that it becomes
hollow it becomes just something you say
without really meaning it if you forgive
you must forget the offense and move on
but who can forget an offense when no
one has come up to say hey that
shouldn’t have happened
Matthew 18 verse 34 and his Lord his
Lord was very angry and put him in the
hands of those who would give him
punishment till he made payment of all
the death so will my father in heaven do
to you if you do not everyone from your
hearts give forgiveness to his brother –
which brother I’m going back to that
first so you may see what we are talking
about then Peter came and said to him
Lord what number of times may my brother
do wrong against me and I gave him
forgiveness till seven times Jesus says
to him I see not to you till seven times
but till seventy times seven and he
gives the example so the servant went
down on his face and gave him worship
saying Lord give me time to make payment
and I will give you all and the Lord of
that servant being moved with pity let
him go
and made him free of the death forgive
forgive as you have been forgiven
remember when we pray to the Lord
to become all Lord we say Lord forgive
us for going after the world while you
created us in your image to be your
image in the world
forgive us Lord and guide us and teach
us thank you Lord for being in us for
creating us in your image so that
whenever we turn to you we always have
you here God with us amen amen and amen
who is the greatest of all those who
come together either for being humble
and praising the Lord either for
discussing out their difference and
coming to one agreement in the Lord
within the boundaries of the Lord’s
doctrine and rule his grace and mercy
those who seek to make peace with their
brethren and those who forgive forgive
coming together to do these things is a
holy thing and makes you great in the
kingdom of God
for where two or three are come together
in his name there he is in the midst
judging healing forgiving comforting or
speaking out justice for his word judges
blessed be our Lord and may his word
West on you be inscribed in your soul in
Jesus mighty name amen
blessed be our Lord
