Yea & Amen!

One of my favorite scriptures is found (2 Corinthians 1:20)
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of
God by us. The “yea” in this verse means= to concur or agree with. The Amen
means= so be it. Therefore; it is saying I concur with His promises and let
them be so.

When the angel Gabriel was sent to the virgin Mary, her life was pretty much uneventful. She served the Lord but not much excitement happened in her life. Then God spoke the wonderful words that she was blessed among women, found favor with God, and would bring the Messiah into the world. Mary - being a human with free will to choose - could have said “no thank you. That sounds VERY scary.” But Mary's faith and dedication to God showed up as she responded:
Luke 1:38 “And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy word.” To put it into one word: Mary said,“YES” to the will, direction, and promises of God! NOW, Mary's life begins to change! Not only did she have a beautiful baby, she had a great (God loving)husband (Joseph), her finances improved (God sent Wise Men with gifts), she had a life of purpose, and became a great blessing to ALL people! Luke 1:34,35 “HOW shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee.”

Mary could not figure out how, when, nor all the details of this miracle. When she asked, the answer was by the power of the Holy Ghost. When God said He would bless, lead, guide, direct, and prosper us, we could not and still cannot figure out how, when, nor the details of the miracles He has lined up for us (from Genesis to Revelation) but the answer is “by the power of the Holy Ghost!” How can you get that job when so MANY others have applied for it? By the power of the Holy Ghost! How can your family members become born again? By the power of the Holy Ghost! How can your health and finances improve? By the power of the Holy Ghost!

Today, when the enemy of your soul tries to make you believe that God isn't
concerned with you - because if He was, He would just speak the word and “poof”
it happens, keep trusting the promises of God and remind your enemy that YOU have said YES to all the promises of God (by your faith in and obedience to Him) and your God can NOT fail!!When you say yes - God says Yes, it remains Yes and no devil in hell can change it. The world may try to block and mess you up to the point of frustrating all your hope but people’s ill actions against you becomes the very formula for your exaltation. The more people plan and strategize to bring you down the more they are helping you to be easily lifted up.

YES, every promise of God is, Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. When we act on those promises and believe that our actions released the blessing of increase that is in them, then they are Yes and Amen in us. It is done!

I can’t Stop, I won’t Stop because serving God is always a
winning situation!

Keep the
Faith,
