Mayflower Compact
All the Pilgrams that landed on November 21, 1620 had a close religious and personal relationship with God and each other. They signed the Mayflower Compact in faith, trusting God to provide for them and their families. They believed in the Word of God; “And 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). When two or more come together physically they should also come together intellectually and spiritually so that they are not praying in opposite directions. The Holy Spirit does not lead one person to pray in one direction and another in the opposite. Notice this fellowship is found through prayer. Maybe we should be seeking other Christians just for the purpose of prayer during this Thanksgiving season? This verse is great encouragement for us to pray together in fellowship with each other, a common request under the direction of the Holy Spirit and expecting an answer from God. True fellowship can only happen if we find this type of agreement. We are so guilty of trying to determine fellowship by the actions of others and not by the Holy Spirit and Word of God. When is the last time we have experienced this type of fellowship?
