YES to the LORD

Amen

Aman - Truly , verify , So be it onto me. Faith

Genesis 15:6

6 And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

God is YES God.

His Name is AMEN.

Yes to the Lord

Everything in your life , what you are and what you have is because you said Yes.

Your job you have is because you said Yes to that job.

Your marriage you are in , because you said Yes to the marriage. Your commitment to that marriage because you said Yes in your Vows.

Somebody say Yes to the Lord, to share gospel.

My friend said Yes to the Lords calling and shared gospel to me.

One day, on a Saturday evening, i was going to a movie theater to watch a movie. on my way, my friend called me and reminded that there is  bible study.

So, i agreed to a friend for movie ,now i have bible study.

So your Yes reveals your priorities.

On a Friday like this, you have to say Yes to come to fasting prayer meeting, there might be other works also. Do you think there are other works or not.

So many things might have been planned. but you said Yes to this meeting tells your priorities.

Moses No.No.No. then YES

Exodus 3: 

Moses struggled to say Yes to God.

First God introduced Himself, and then revealed the plan.

So what came first, the person and then the plan.

Remember, more than all the plans and purposes of God , God Himself is important.

then instead of the focus on the person, Moses attention turned towards

some things that does not have anything to do with Yes.

Identity

          1) V11

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

Matthew 15:26‭-‬27 NKJV

Even if God Himself calls you dog, you say Yes, Lord but your promise is still Yes. 

Abilities

    4-   10 Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and [b]slow of tongue.”  

       Moses only had a rod in has hand. and the task given was overthrowing a kingdom and overcome million people.

Logic

4 Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’ ”

Results

So what does this teach us.

YES is not for your abilities, Yes is not for the logic is correct. Yes is not for your identity.

Yes is not to the plan. 

YES is to the Person.

I AM GOD.

I AM is for everything you need.

Obedience: is an Yes. and an  YES is to the person , and not to the plan, logic, abilities, identity.

How do we say Yes to the Lord

1. Yes is to the person , not to the plan

Jonahs Yes was so difficult because, He was seeing the end result of the plan of God.

1 Samuel 17:

When everyone else is worrying  about Goliath and when everyone wondering asking who can fight , a small boy said YES.

You know who God is , then  your Yes is easy.

1 Samuel 17:37

37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”

Saying Yes in No Circumstances is not easy.

   That is Faith.

Yes in Gethsemane

Jesus Christ when in the garden of Gethsemane.

Gethsemane - Pressing place

I said Yes , if possible take this away, but still said Yes , I will go.

Good to say Yes

39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

Sometimes we have Gethsemane situations.

We realize how selfish you are only after you are married.

So many situations will come like Gethsemane.

Some times even when you don't have , you have to give.

Acts 20:25

35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

I say YES to give even it is tough.

You know why Gods Word says , you are in place of authority.

those who give, God gives more authority.

Saying YES to promises of God.

Its not about Yes and NO.  Its about Yes in HIM.

17 Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? 18 But as God is faithful, our [g]word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.

God,

JesusChrist

us

Amen.

whenever we say Amen - we give Glory to God.

Affirmative Yes.

Healing - YES

According to your faith , let it be onto you.

And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

Matthew 9:28 NKJV

Your YES is YES in HIM.

20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

The more mature you become in Spirit , you Yes should in your nature.

For Zachariah, the Yes did not flow automatically. the Yes had a question - old man

Luke 1:18

18 And Zacharias said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

For Mary, the Yes had a question, do not know a man

Luke 1:38

34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I [g]do not know a man?”

When we end this meeting, we will pray and say Yes Lord.

but real test will begin after we leave.
