Amen to That

There is something about the old preaching style that rings true, that brings a lesson home, and fills the heart with faith and joy. We read in scripture that when the prophets of old would speak Truth, all the people answered, “Amen!” – expressing together their enthusiastic agreement. “Amen” is not just a concluding word, grammatically well-placed at the end of a prayer. It means: “I agree! That goes for me, too!” and “Bring it on! Let it be so in the manifest as it is in the ideal!” The word, “Amen” expresses approval, acceptance, agreement, but also is a joyous welcome for the blessing to come into form right here and now. The pattern of effectual prayer that is confirmed by the “Amen” is of profound significance in our own creative process. It is our way of saying, “Yes!” Have we said, “Yes!” to divine guidance? Have we said “Yes!” to healing in mind and body? Have we said, “Yes!” to prosperity in every aspect of our lives? Have we said, “Yes!” to harmonious relationships that work all the time and to peace that spreads over the land? Let all the people say, “Amen!”
