Can two walk together, except they be agreed? —Amos 3:3
Adam walked and talked with God in the cool of the day. That’s the fellowship the first Adam had with God, but he lost it through the Fall. The Bible calls Jesus the last Adam, the One who came to restore to us what the first Adam lost. So under the new covenant, we have the ability to walk and talk with God again. In fact, He said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people” (2 Cor. 6:16). But when we’re in disagreement with someone, it’s hard to walk with that person in comfortable fellowship. It’s the same way in our relationship with God. Sometimes we unconsciously disagree with God and then wonder why He won’t help us. We ask, “Why isn’t God helping me? Why isn’t He working for me? He knows how bad things are!” Yes, God knows the situation. Nothing catches Him by surprise. He doesn’t look down in surprise and say, “Wow! When did that happen?” It isn’t that God refuses to help us if we disagree with Him. There’s just very little He can do. That’s why Amos 3:3 says, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” One particular meaning of the word confess is “to agree with.”1 In order to hold fast to the confession of your faith, you have to agree with God. The best way to develop agreement is to get in His Word. Then make a choice to agree with it, believing in your heart and saying with your mouth.
Confession: God says I’m healed. God says I’m more than a conqueror. God says He satisfies me with long life. And I agree.
