The 2 Minute Word
Why do we say Amen?
Jeremiah 11:5 AMP
What is the meaning of the word Amen? And why do we say it at the end of every prayer. Is it only the signal that one has completed the prayer?
You are hungry and the food looks great and smells so good. The smell of the fried chicken, corn bread, and sweet potatoes whipped all up in the just taking you away, as uncle earl says let us bow our heads.
He starts the prayer with Thank you Lord for this food, then he goes on, and on to pray for the entire men’s choir, calling each member by their government name. Your head is bowed and as you peak out of one eye all you can see is your mashed potatoes yelling “eat me”. You are trying to stay in the prayer but your mind is shouting Lord let this old man say finally just say amen so I can eat it.
The word Amen does not just signal the ready set eat button. No
In the Word “Amen” as shown in our verse means “so be it”.
When you say "Amen" it means your are giving consent to an matter. Don't just shout Amen when you don't know what your are agreeing with.
Remember your Words matter.
This is Tris No H reminding you that love is a verb....so why aren't your verbing.
Peace
