GOSPEL CORNER: GOD’S PROMISES ARE NOT “YES AND OH NO,” THEY ARE “YES AND AMEN.”

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

All of God’s promises have their yes in him. That is why we say Amen through him to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20, CEB

FIND THE AMEN
When God puts a promise in your heart and you believe it, you have the “yes,” and you know it’s going to happen. But you need to find the “amen”—someone to agree with you who says, “You have the yes and believe God is restoring health to you. I have the amen. I agree with you that healing is coming.” You don’t need someone who says, “Oh no. You really think so?”

God’s promises are not “yes and oh no,” they are “yes and amen.” You need to come out of “oh no” agreements with negative people who doubt, water down your faith, and cause you to get discouraged. If you get rid of the “oh no” people, God will send you “amen” people who say, “You believe the addiction can’t control you. You have the yes, and I have the amen. I agree that whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” When you have a faith partner who adds the amen, it causes angels to go to work, miracles are set in motion, and favor is released.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that all of Your promises have their yes in Jesus and I can believe You for them. Help me to distance myself from ‘oh no’ people who try to water down my faith. And help me to find faith partners who will bring the ‘amen’ and agree with me in prayer. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

SECTION TWO

I love how our Lord Jesus is such a loving and practical God. When there is a problem, He goes straight to the solution.

Before Jesus stepped in to heal the man born blind, His disciples were caught up in uncovering whose sin had made the man blind. Jesus, on the other hand, was interested only in using His power to give the poor man sight!

The same way Jesus didn’t get sucked into the “blame game” is the same way He doesn’t want you to. So don’t ask what or whose sin caused your sickness. Forget about what you should or shouldn’t have done or why it happened. Be preoccupied instead with your solution—Jesus Christ, who through the cross has removed every sin in your life and who wants to work a miracle in your body!
