Now in light of this information, consider
power of “AMEN!” To say “Amen” at
promises of God is to affirm them. It is to say, “Yes! And so let it be.” So
promises of God are in Christ “Yes and Amen,” right? That’s what
Bible says, and it doesn’t lie. When we go to praying in
name of Jesus, we go to where
“Yes” is. God says, in effect, “Yes, I will answer you. Call on me. Prove me faithful. Watch me bless you.” When we conclude our pray with “Amen!” we are affirming God’s Glory. We are affirming by oath, as it were, “God you will do this for your Glory’s sake. God you will Glorify
name of Jesus. God you want to manifest your Glory through us by blessing us…” We are going to God through Jesus empty, devoid of resources, without strength, weak and frail but, nevertheless, trusting that God will fill us with His Holy Spirit, grant us His everlasting resources, strengthen our hearts, and give us grace, more grace and all grace sufficient to lift us up. Glory to God! (I wish I could attach
shout of praise).
Let me conclude with these final words from Pastor Piper: “When we pray, we say Amen to God through Christ, because God has said Amen to all his promises in Christ. Prayer is
confident plea for God to make good on his promises of future grace for Christ’s sake. Prayer links our faith in future grace with
foundation of it all, Jesus Christ.” So, it really is all about Jesus. Isn’t it?
Keep
faith. Stay
course. Jesus is on His way for you. A place has been already prepared for you. Pastor T.—by grace.
