2 Cor 1:20-22 (NLT)

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. ²¹ It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, ²² and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us.

YES!

Establish the "Yes" in your life! It's amazing to me that in our humanity we so often go to God asking for what He's already promised to us! Now, why in the world do we do that? If He's already promised it to us - it's ours, right? What if your child/grandchild came to you and asked you over and over for something you had already told them they could have! You didn't put a time limit on it - no special requirements - you told them you bought it for them and they could have it - YES! Would it make you feel like they didn't believe you? Would it make you feel like they weren't sure of you? Well...

You know, James tells us in chapter 1 that if we waver in our faith we shouldn't expect to receive anything. If I believe without wavering that God's promises are YES and Amen - why would I keep asking for the same thing over and over??? Duh!

Instead, let us go before Him thanking Him that He said YES!! Thank Him for the promises that are ours!

Another thing...this same principle applies to the calling and giftings in our lives. I would hate to admit how many times I've let the enemy sit on my shoulder and tell me "that wasn't God who called you to this place - it was just you wanting you to do it so badly you thought it was from God." But I say this, I am His sheep and I know His voice and when God chose me He said "YES, I choose you." Therefore I have established once and for all that God said "Yes!" That's all it takes for me. I know that I know that I know God called me for such a time as this. He chose me. He created me, and He is working His purpose in and through me.

God said "Yes!" Do you believe it??
