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!

This is the place of power and healing!

Prayer is powerful! Prayer is communication, but it is so much more than that. It is fellowship with the Father. It is being transparent before God. It is trust in God, His character, nature and faithfulness. It is the place where you make your requests made known to God. It is also your legal tool to declare the will of God over yourself, your family, your church, your community and your nation. The Apostle James said that we need to pray for each other, and even confess our sins to each other so that we may be healed (James 5:16). Matthew 18:19 says: “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” While I am not an advocate for sharing your private life with just anyone, you should have someone that you trust that can pray with and for you. Effectual righteous prayer brings healing and restoration. It releases the power of God and produces wonderful results. It’s time to stop doing things on your own. Let go of any pride or shame that you may be carrying, and ask for prayer. You will be amazed at what God will do when you pray together with others.

James 5:16 “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”
