Amening The Wrong Thing

Tuesday, May 30, 2023

We think of Amen as a religious word, but it's much more than that. Amen comes from the Hebrew word 'emet,' which means true. So when you say amen, you're saying it's true, it's solid, it's reality. Where you place your amen can change your life. The problem with most of us isn't that we're not saying amen in a worship service, but that we're saying amen everywhere else. We're giving our amen to the world and our problem, as if it's true; it's not. Whenever you accept bad news as if it's the final truth, you are giving your amen. When you accept your sin, you're giving your amen. Do you want to be changed? Stop giving away your amen to the world. Stop saying amen to your problems, to the enemy or to your old self. You don't have to accept it. Stop saying amen to the way things appear. Say amen in faith to God's power, His will, His Word, His love and His miracles. Your amen is powerful. Start using it wisely. Don't say amen to the world. Give your amen to God. Amen? Amen.
