2 Corinthians 1:20 says this:
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. KJV
"Amen" is the Greek word "ameen" and it means: firm; trustworthy; surely; faithful; of a truth; truly (when used in the beginning of a sentence); so be it and may it be fulfilled (at the end of a sentence). When God spoke the promises of His Word, He said YES to them and also the Amen! We have a responsibility to find these promises in the Word, meditate on them (Joshua 1:8) until they become our own, speak them out over our lives, and then AGREE with God (Matthew 18:19) by declaring AMEN, SO BE IT! Understand that we can SPEAK the Amen without really believing it! It is the Word spoken in faith that has come BECAUSE of the Word (Romans 10:17) that produces results! AMEN! So continue in your daily meditation of the Word with a singleness of purpose that will not stop until you HAVE the promise on the inside, speak the promise in faith, thank Him for that promise and then fully expect to see it manifest! HE cannot do this for us! His part is to provide the blessing (Ephesians 1:3), which He has already done, and OUR part is to receive! So, what are you waiting for? GO GET IT! AMEN! By the way, here is the verse from the Amplified Bible:
20 For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God. AMP
Here is a very old song from Hillsong called, of course,"Yes and Amen":
God says yes and I know that I'm blessed
Yes got a heart that's at rest
Yes and a future that's sealed
Yes if I'm healed then I'm healed
I'm not afraid of circumstances
Cuz I've already found the answers
In Christ all of God's promises
Are yes, yes and Amen
Now is the time to let faith win
God has placed His promises in the center of His will
Seek His kingdom and His ways
All the power of heaven is yours to call today
All God's promises
Yes and amen
Celebrate God's promises
Yes and amen.
