Today I want to talk to you about our "amen." We "amen"

God's promises, but do we "amen" God's process? Do we "amen" God's

principles? In Genesis 15:6 NKJV "Abraham believed in the Lord, and the

Lord accounted it to him as righteousness." The word used here in the

Hebrew is "amen." I found that interesting. For me it spoke differently.

Abraham "amened" in the Lord, he "amened" the promise. Abraham had no

children, but it was his deepest desire to have a son. God took him

outside and said "Look at the stars, if you could count the stars,

that's how many descendents you will have." Think bigger. See the vision

clearer. Abraham "amened" the promise. Then, in Genesis 17:10-11, God

visits and tells him to circumcise all the men in the house. Wait, what?

Sometimes God is going to ask you to do things that might be tough. Love

your enemy. Lay down your life. Pick up your cross if you want to follow

Christ. Circumcision - Abraham could have said, "How is that going to

get me to the promise?" I have found that far too many are picking which

principals of God they like, and then we wonder why we aren't arriving

at God's promises. Sometimes the Lord gives you a process, your orders

came in, Jesus says, "Here's eternal life" we say, "woohoo," then he

says, anyone who comes after me must deny himself, take up his cross,

offer yourselves as a sacrifice to the Lord. Wait, what? We "amen" the

promise, do we "amen" the process? Remember the Israelites who died in

the wilderness. The Bible says they did not go in to the land that I

swore to them because they did not "amen" me. Are we "amening"

God?
