2 Hagin2 The Key To The SUPERNATURALBy Kenneth W. HaginThe Lord has been showing me for sometime now that the key to the last-day move of the SUPERNATURAL power of God will be found in two words: unity and accord. According to the dictionary, the word unity means the state of being one or united; oneness; singleness. Another definition is the quality of being one in spirit, sentiment, purpose, etc. Unity also implies oneness, as in spirit, aims, interests, feelings, etc., of that which is made up of diverse elements of individuals.

3 Accord means almost the same thing: to make, agree or harmonize; to be in agreement or harmony; mutual agreement; 4harmony; all agreeing; with no one dissenting. The Theme of ActsIf you have ever studied Bible history, you will know that unity (or accord) actu-ally is the theme of the Book of Acts. The word accord, for example, is found 11 times in this book: Acts 1:14; 2:1; 2:46; 4:24; 5:12; 7:57; 8:6; 12:20; 15:25; 18:12; and 19 the King James Version, the words unity and accord are used inter-changeably. The meaning of accord in the following verses from Acts is being one in spirit, purpose, aim, and so forth.

4 ACTS 1:1414 These all continued WITH ONE ACCORD in prayer and supplication..ACTS 2:11 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all WITH ONE ACCORD in one 2:4646 And they, continuing daily WITH ONE ACCORD in the temple, and break-ing bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness, and single-ness of heart..ACTS 4:2424 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God WITH ONE ACCORD..ACTS 5:1212 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all WITH ONE ACCORD in Solomon s 8:66 And the people WITH ONE ACCORD gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he 12:2020 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came WITH ONE ACCORD to him.)

5 6 ACTS 15:2525 It seemed good unto us, being assem-bled WITH ONE ACCORD, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barna-bas and Paul.(The same concept is found in Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouTh glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. )unity in the early ChurchTremendous things happened in the Book of Acts. Let s study these Acts 1, we see the new testament believers continuing with one accord in prayer and Acts 2 we find them worshipping daily with one accord in the Temple and eating their meals with gladness and singleness of heart.

6 In the third chapter of Acts, we see Peter and John healing a crippled man at the Gate Beautiful. The people rejoiced, but 7the religious leaders got upset and called the two apostles before the these rulers of the people and elders of Israel heard Peter and John, they marveled: now when they saw the bold-ness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13).Because all of the people were for Peter and John, the leaders were afraid to do anything to them.

7 They threatened them and let them go. The fourth chapter of Acts records the mighty prayer meeting the believers 4:23 24,29 3223 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God WITH ONE 8 ACCORD, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea..29 And now, Lord, behold their threat-enings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul.

8 Did those believers get down and pray, And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants grace to endure the persecution and hardships. Grant that we can hold out faithful to the end ? Is that what your Bible says? No, that s not what it closely at these verses. Grasp the concepts of unity and accord expressed here. There could have been more than 3,000 praying here. It wasn t just the two apostles praying; it was the whole company of believers in know that 120 persons were assembled on the Day of Pentecost, and 3,000 more came to the Lord after Peter preached his message that day.

9 That makes 3,120 believers. There may have been still more in the company who had accepted the Lord after witnessing the healing of the crippled man, because Acts 4:21 says, all men glorified God for that which was done. The rulers had warned Peter and John not to speak in ThAT name. (They couldn t bring themselves even to say the Name of Jesus.) But in verse 30 we see the believers praying by The nAme oF thy holy child Jesus. 10unity: The Key to the supernaturalVerse 31 is the one I like: the place was shaken where they were assembled together.

10 When we in the Body of Christ begin to unite ourselves in the unity and power of the Word of God, we re going to see some places shaken as they never have been shaken before. The reason the supernat-ural power of God has not been demon-strated as God would have liked in years gone by is because believers got in unity only at believe in this last day before Jesus Christ comes again there is going to come a unity among the Body of Christ that the world has never seen before, and the power of God is going to be demonstrated as never before!Somebody once asked me, Ken, why did we see such a move of the SUPERNATURAL power of God the last week of July at the Tulsa Campmeeting in 1978?
