Prayer of Agreement – Two Minds Joined In Prayer
Please consider this site, a-spiritual-journey-of-healing.com, as a prayer of agreement for your spiritual healing. I join my mind with yours to celebrate your innocence. I ask you to join your mind with mine in celebrating the innocence of myself and all who visit here. We are as God created us. Amen
The Power of Joined Prayer Both the Bible and A Course In Miracles agree that there is enormous power in minds joined in prayer. “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”(Matthew 18:19, KJV)“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20, KJV e-sword) “You have succeeded whenever you have reached another mind and joined with it. When two minds join as one and share one idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the Sonship as One has been made.” (T-16.II.4, A Course In Miracles) 
When I want my experience or my reality to change, it is powerful to ask someone else to pray with me. Together we hold the vision for a new reality. Why do prayers of agreement work? Because... we are One in God, and so all minds are joined. One Christ mind holding in faith for something is powerful, but the greater the level of agreement, the greater the power to make manifest the vision we hold. At the moment we have a world in which we have agreement that there is sickness, death, suffering. What if we could join in a prayer of agreement for God's reality of health, eternal life, peace? Can our prayers call such a world more and more into being? I believe they can. I have experience that they can. Other benefits from the prayer of agreement. When we pray alone, sometimes we cannot remember where or when we made the prayer. When we pray the prayer of agreement we are more likely to be able to know when and where. We set our minds much more consciously for a desired outcome. By joining in a prayer of agreement, we also have a prayer partner - someone who, with our permission, can remind us to rest in a place of trust for the outcome. We prayed. God listens. (The universe responds.) It is done. When praying for health, I really advise you to join in prayer of agreement for healing. To hold the vision for health when symptoms in our body speak loudly of the reality of illness is a tough order. We need someone else who knows what it feels like to be in a well body to hold this space for us. It's OK to need help.
Let us take the example of the Our Father Prayer, also known as
the Lord's Prayer.
For me, the power of praying
traditional prayers
- set prayers that many people pray - is to join my mind with others - those alive now, and also those who have lived before. I feel joined with people of all nationalities and all classes. This means a lot to me. I have a sense that we are one. I celebrate unity consciousness. For example, I can be confident that someone in the world is praying The Our Father Prayer right now. People have prayed The Our Father Prayer throughout the last 2000 years. People are praying The Our Father Prayer all over the world. By saying this prayer we are making a prayer of agreement to say: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In joined prayer we are calling in a new world where God is in charge. How wonderful! This sense of joining minds with others was especially important to me in the years of
living with illness and isolation
(the illness ME /CFS). Even from a bedroom, I could pray with others and for others. I could remember that others were praying in joined prayer for my healing and my spiritual upliftment. I consider that
prayer of agreement for healing
was a significant factor in my healing from
ME/CFS.
Joined prayer with another is a powerful spiritual practice which works with or without belief. You can join your mind with another through all kinds of prayer, through visualisation and through meditation. Now, in the age of the internet there are many opportunities for joined prayer with others, for example by joining groups on facebook that pray for a particular cause.
