thank you Lord hallelujah we love you Lord 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 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 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 every 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 uh 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 that RSVP as you know means means please respond see the G 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 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 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 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 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 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 you going to do in my life I want to be a part of it God I want to join in see when you say yes you know what you’re doing you’re strengthening yourself you’re showing up with 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 he said I had some things that needed to be worked out of me me I wouldn’t have been able to handle but now it’s so sweet and now I know how to handle it listen don’t change your yes to a no because it’s taken a long time because you don’t see how it’s going to work out God’s delay is not his denial it’s preparing you for what’s to come God is working in you and working some things out of you so that you can take hold of the promises in Genesis it talks about Abraham and we all know Abraham he’s the father
