If I told you about the weekend my husband and I have had, you probably wouldn’t believe me anyway because if we wouldn’t have experienced it, we wouldn’t either. However, let me say this … when God does things, I simply say amen. Why? Well because amen means so be it or that I am in agreement because when God moves that settles it. Baby, God has made some moves in our lives this weekend that no man could dare make. God has shaken up some things in our lives this weekend that no man could have possibly done so I had no choice but to say amen; I am in agreement with you God.
Yes, I know things aren’t looking right in your life right now and you want to question God but stand in agreement with Him because if you trust Him like you say you do then you should know He won’t steer you wrong. I know momma may be sick but say amen. Your body is aching with pain but say amen. Your bills are behind and the landlord is knocking again but say amen. Your electric bill is due to be cutoff and they are parked outside but I know a man who will make them drive away by the power of your amen. The death angel is walking around your home but say amen for the strength that is coming your way. You’re still waiting on the phone to ring for a job but say amen for what God has already done. Storm clouds still hanging low but say amen that you still have your mind. Arthritis is in your body but say amen that you’re still living. You may not be making the money that you think you should but say amen that you still have a job. Car and house may not be the one you want but say amen that it’s the one you got. Baby, you could be homeless, suicidal, depressed, in ICU, in a nursing home, in a domestic violence center, on a missing poster, HIV positive, on death row, strung out on drugs, prostituting your body, waiting on a major organ donation or on life support; yet here you are and you got the nerve! Excuse me while I make this thang personal … I could be homeless, suicidal, depressed, in ICU, in a nursing home, in a domestic violence center, on a missing poster, HIV positive, on death row, strung out on drugs, prostituting my body, waiting on a major organ donation or on life support; yet here I am! I don’t know what God has planned for me (I’ve been telling you this for the last week) but so be it for I shall stand in agreement yelling, proudly proclaiming amen! I don’t know what God has for you but stand in agreement that whatever it is, it’s for you and that you’ll proudly say’ so be it! AMEN! Let the church say amen.
