Thanks so much for listening to the podcast today. I want you to know that Victoria and I are praying for you and your family this summer and just asking God to bring you more peace and joy and victory than you've ever seen before. Know that God's for you. He's got you in the palm of his hand, and I hope you enjoy the message today. Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.
If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend?
We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.
And we come into agreement with Jeremiah 29 11. Amen? Amen. You may be seated. It is good to have you here. And I want to encourage every one of us this morning that we have to resound a great big yes to all of God's promises. And that should be our goal for 2016 is to say yes God to every promise you have in my life. Yes God for everything that you want to do in my life. See our yes gives God permission to bring forth His promises in our life. Our yes invites the promises into our life. God wants us to respond with a yes in Christ. In 2 Corinthians 1.20, it says no matter how many promises God has made, they are yes in Christ. God's promises stand firm. They are yes as far as He's concerned. But listen to the rest of that.
It says, and so through Him, through Christ, the amen is spoken by us. God has already said yes. But God wants our response, which is amen. Now, the word amen in the Hebrew and the Greek both translate into so be it. The promises of God, our response should be so be it. Now, it's 2016, and usually we say, yes, God. Yes, God.
Amen.
See, that should be our response. Every good thing, yes, God. Every promise you have for me, yes, God. Healing is mine. Joy is mine. Provision is mine. Everything I need is in you, in Christ, and I am going to resound a great big yes. You've received an invitation before to a wedding or some great grand celebration. And when you get that invitation, you open it up and it tells you who's inviting you and where it's going to be and what time it's going to occur. And then there's RSVP at the bottom of your invitation.
How does saying ‘Yes’ to God give access to His promises?
That RSVP, as you know, means please respond. See, the host has already prepared a celebration. They've counted you in. They've already prepared for you to be there, but they want to know, are you going to show up? Are you going to take part in what they have already planned? So it's RSVP, please respond. And in much the same way, there is a please respond attached to God's promises.
Amen.
See, God has already prepared some amazing things for you, but He needs your response. See, the amen is spoken by you. What is your response to God's promises? All God's promises are yes, but to receive those promises, we have to say amen. Amen. We have to say, yes, God. We have to show up. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, and he said, I had this desire in my heart to do something, and I just felt so excited about it. He said, I prayed about it. I went to God about it. I told some people about it. I was just so excited. He said, and years went by, and nothing ever happened. He said, but it was still there. He said, but I'd show up to God every day, and I'd do what I knew to do. I'd come to church.
I'd pray. I'd praise. I'd tell God how amazing He is. But the years went by, and it didn't happen. He said, I saw nothing happen, but I just kept showing up. You see, He kept coming with His yes, whatever it is, God. Whenever, God, I'm showing up, what are you going to do in my life? I want to be a part of it, God. I want to join in.
What does 2 Corinthians 1:20 teach about ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’?
See, when you say yes, you know what you're doing? You're strengthening yourself. You're showing up to God, and you're strengthening yourself. You're developing yourself. You're growing. He told me later, he said, Victoria, he said, what I was praying for — It did finally come to pass. And he said, when it came to pass, he said, I was amazed. He said, I was elated. I was so excited. He said, but I realize now, if that would have come to pass several years before, I wouldn't have been ready.
