I will close off this section with a personal example. I have a family member who was struggling to find accommodation, and my sister asked me if the Lord would provide this family member with accommodation. I explained to my sister about the prayer of agreement, and said that if two agree on earth as touching anything that they ask the Father, it will be done. I said to her that I’m going to ask the Lord and you can agree. I then said that after this prayer we must continually thank Him for answering our prayer every time we think about this family member’s situation. We then prayed the prayer of agreement. Just over six hours later an incident occurred in this family member’s life that tried to get my sister to look in the natural and take her eyes off of the promise of God. I told her that all we needed to do was thank the Lord for answering our prayer. Three days later, another incident occurred that caused my sister to want to look in the natural. I assured her once again that our Lord had heard our prayer and we were to continue thanking Him for the answer. On the twelfth day the accommodation that we had asked our Lord for in prayer was manifested, and it met the exact requirements that we had asked for. From the moment we prayed, God began to put things in place (which my sister and I could not see) which would ensure that the answer to our prayer was manifested in the natural. Many times in the lives of believers, there are instances when our prayers are heard and we see the results manifested immediately. But there are times when our prayers are heard and even though God has answered our prayer we cannot see what is taking place in the unseen (remember the roots of the fig tree). As long as we continue to look at the unseen and thank Him for the answer to our prayer, we will eventually see the full answer manifested in the natural.
