117 Accessing the Force Multiplier of Community
You were never supposed to go it alone. Better yet, I am WITNESSING a measure of results in businesses that I am working with that I can ONLY attribute to "this must be God." Actually, it's legit because I read about it in Psalm 133 and Matthew 18. Check this out...
Behold, how GOOD and how PLEASANT [it is]
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
...
For there the LORD COMMANDED THE BLESSING - Life forevermore.
Psalm 133:1, 3
I also tell you this:
If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
Matthew 18:19
A force multiplier is a military term that refers to a factor or combination of factors that, when used together gives a significant increase in combat potential. Think army vs. army plus navy vs. army plus navy plus airforce. It's not 1 + 1; it literally multiplies that power and impact... 1 + 1 = 1,000!
