” And through Christ, our ‘AMEN” (which means yes) ascends to God for his glory.” 2 Corinthians 1:20
” for it is by your own faith that you stand firm.” 2 Corinthians 1: 24
We all have gone to our God in heaven in prayer. Have you ever wondered just what we are saying when we close our prayer with AMEN? When we say AMEN, we are confirming what we have said before God. We are responding and becoming personally involved in our conversation with Him. We are asking Him, through the name of Jesus, to take action in our lives, or the lives of others, and we are, at the same time, calling upon ourselves to act as well. We are claiming to be in complete agreement with God. We are claiming to support him and his decisions. We are to put forth our own effort and actions in our own lives that reflect our agreement with his holy Word and his actions on our behalf. It is by our own faith that we stand before him in prayer, and it is by our own faith that we believe he will answer us. It is by our own actions that we know what His word says, and it is by our faith that we stand on His promises and believe! When we finish with AMEN, we are sending our message to Him with glory and praise. We are trusting Him to help us without failure. We are thanking Him and surrendering ourselves to His actions. He loves us and will never fail us! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
