Question
I have used Mathews 18:19-20 many times and received many blessings as a result. This verse to me literally means exactley what it says. Also, John 15:7. If my interpretation of these verses are incorrect, Please!!! Let the re-deem say so;
Thank you,
Marinda
Hi Marinda and that you for the question!
There are many verses which speak to this truth but one needs to understand this in light of all Scripture. As I say often, "let Scripture interpret Scripture." It is clear from these verses that it is not the fact that any two people agreeing binds God or asking Jesus for something automatically means you get it... One needs to ask according to His will, in His Name... I wrote something on my website about His Name which might be helpful (www.toddtyszka.com/hisname.html) which explains that the phrase "in His Name" means according to God's will or nature as one's name is traditionally reflective of their nature. So you are right to believe these verses by faith and may His Word fill your heart as you ask Him according to His will in His mighty and powerful Name!

Expertise
My degrees and studies are mostly in Christian doctrine but I will answer questions having to do with almost any aspect of Christianity and The Bible.
Experience
My experience consists of over 20 years as a Pastor, Youth Pastor, missionary, counselor, teacher, writer, Bible quizzer, and various other leadership positions. I've studied the Bible for over 20 years at 5 different schools/seminaries but I can explain things in simple terms anyone can understand and currently teach Sunday School to 1st-5th graders. I specialize in Christian apologetics (evidences for Christianity) and Polemics (debate denouncing false teachings), as well as understanding difficult verses, and topics such as heaven & hell, denominations/sects, false teachings/heresies/cults, the Holy Spirit, gifts of the Holy Spirit, spiritual warfare, apostolic reformation, emergent/emerging church, prosperity teaching, contradictions/discrepancies, charismatic studies, creation/evolution, Greek/Hebrew studies, end times, deliverance, the apocrypha/pseudepigrapha, etc. I daily answer questions on Global Media Outreach, AllExperts, YouTube, through email, and various personal websites where I have posted many Christian videos.
Education/Credentials
Graduated from a private Christian High School, went to Nazarene Bible college and then Eastern Nazarene College (Boston) for Youth Ministry and Pastoral Studies/Christian Theology, transferred to Asbury College where I completed my degree in Christian Education and Missions, and most recently attending the Calvary Chapel Bible Institute.
