His Promises are Yes and Amen!

2 Corinthians 1:20  “For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him amen, to the glory of God by us.” There are many promises of God in the scriptures. His word is truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. When we come to Jesus, we are coming to the Truth. He is also Faithful. As you study the word, write down the promises that you find, and quote them to yourself and your family often. Remember that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by His word. For every challenge, there is a promise. For every crisis, there is a promise. For every need, there is a promise. When you find a promise, include it in your prayers. Pray and declare His word. He is faithful and He honors His word (Psalms 138:2). So the question is: Are you equipping yourself with His word every day so that you can pray and declare scripturally, or are you praying emotionally and without knowledge of his promises? God might not say yes to all of your desires, but He will always say yes and amen to His word! 

2 Corinthians 1:20  “For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him amen, to the glory of God by us”

What are you hearing?

In Romans 10:17, we see the principle of how faith comes about in one’s life.So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”.What we hear impacts what we believe. That can be good, or really bad. We hear things all day long. Most people do not pay attention to what they hear, so they get a mixed bag of philosophies throughout the day. The Apostle taught us in Romans 10:17 that we must focus on God’s word. We must take out daily time to purposely hear God’s word and meditate on it every day. Only this will strengthen our faith. Many believers today have very weak and ineffectual faith because they refuse to discipline themselves to hear God’s word. They are too busy doing “other things,” and they do not prioritize the study of God’s word. If that is you today, repent and get back to your “first love.” Let your faith come alive as you give first place to God and His word. He is worthy!
