JESUS IS OUR YES!

2 Corinthians 1:19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between "Yes" and "No." ...as God's ultimate "Yes", he always does what he says.  v.20 For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding "Yes!" And through Christ, our "Amen" (which means "Yes") ascends to God for his glory.

When you've read scripture and seen one of God's promises you may have thought 'Is that for me or not? Is God speaking to me personally?' Well according to the Apostle Paul in our verses today the answer is a resounding "Yes"!

Jesus has fulfilled all of God's promises and when we believe them and say our "Yes Amen" to them we are taking them for ourselves. Jesus said when we believe, then all things are possible to us. Believe what? Believe His promises.

You may have heard it said that when we pray God sometimes says ''Yes and sometimes 'No'.  That may be true if what you're asking for is not based on a promise but if it is based on one of His promises then the answer is always Yes! How do I know that? Because our verse says Jesus Christ does not waver between Yes and No! You may have to wait for it all to happen but it will.😊

It's like God giving you a cheque with one of His promises written on it, made out in your name. He's waiting for you to take it to the bank of heaven in prayer and say "I'm cashing this cheque in for this promise" and then doing the same thing with all His promises.

I hope that encourages someone and if you are standing on a promise of God then keep standing on it because Jesus is backing it up to the hilt and He always does what He says. 😊
