In this episode of Power Hour, Carlie Terradez continues the A to Z of Healing series with the letter Y — “Why.” This teaching answers a foundational question many believers wrestle with: Why can we be confident that healing, peace, provision, and freedom truly belong to us?

Using 2 Corinthians 1:20 as the anchor scripture, Carlie explains that all of God’s promises are already “yes” in Christ—and how our response of “amen” is what allows those promises to flow through our lives. This episode unpacks the difference between agreeing with circumstances versus agreeing with God’s Word, and why faith isn’t about denying reality, but aligning with eternal truth.

You’ll hear powerful biblical examples—from Abraham, the woman with the issue of blood, and the feeding of the 5,000—to show how agreement, expectation, thanksgiving, and action work together to activate what God has already provided. Carlie also shares personal testimonies that demonstrate how speaking God’s promises, even when symptoms remain, creates real breakthrough.

If you’ve ever asked, “How can I say amen when I’m still sick?” or “How do I move from promise to manifestation?” this message will bring clarity, confidence, and renewed faith.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

1. Why God’s promises are already settled as “yes” in Christ
2. What your amen actually does in the spiritual realm
3. How to agree with God’s Word instead of your symptoms
4. Why faith speaks, expects, and acts before seeing results
5. How thanksgiving, rest, and peace strengthen your faith
6. Why healing and abundance glorify God when they flow through us

Welcome to Power Hour, where we believe it is God's will for you to be well.

I'm your host, Kylie Terradez, and this podcast is created from the weekly live streams that I do every Thursday at 1pm Mountain time.

Whether you tune in live or listen later, this message is something that you can receive today.

Let's get started.

It's that time again.

It's time for Power Hour.

Man, it's good to be back in the chair, my trusty office chair.

This is my, my prayer chair, my revelating chair in my office here.

And to be able to share the word with you today.

You know, it's been a while.

We've been off on traveling adventures, but I'm back this week at least.

Anyway, and we are finishing up.

We're getting to very close to the end of our series, the A to Z if you're American, A to Z if you're English.

Of healing.

We're all the way at Y.

Today we're going to be talking about the why of the A to Z of healing.

We have been going through this plan all year and I feel like it's gone pretty quick, actually.

But we have literally been going through each letter of the Alphabet and we only have two more to do.

I can't believe we're almost at the very end of the Alphabet first time.

Carmelina, love that.

Make sure.

And Danielle.

Wonderful.

Let me just scroll through and see if I can see anyone else on here.

I miss one.

I missed Danielle.

There you are, Danielle.

Well, welcome.

We have a very friendly community here.

We're glad to have you.

They're all saying, they're all saying welcome.

I love that.

But you know, this, this A to Z of healing and my heart for this really is to turn this into a book.

Ultimately.

Don't ask me when it's going to come out because, you know, I haven't put it all together yet and my team's going to help me.

But we're going to take all of these 26 teachings throughout the year and we're going to put them into a book format.

So that's a really powerful resource for you.

So look out for the A to Z healing book at some point in the future.

No promises as to when.

Okay?

Because it's early days.

But today we're going to be covering the why.

Before I get into that, let's take a moment and pray.

Father God, I thank you that you're here with us today, that you have something special for us.

And we just ask, Lord, that you that you help us to have ears to hear, a mind to understand, and a heart to receive everything that you have for us today in Jesus name.

Thank you, Lord, for helping us to turn off all the distractions for, for just listening intently.

And Holy Spirit, we.

We ask you to take these words that are Logos in our head only and make them rhema, breathe life into them that they might become ours and that we can apply them to our life.

In Jesus name.

Amen.

But hey, we're in the miracle business, so that would be no problem at all, I guess.

But turn in your Bibles if you have them, if you have your phone, or if you have a big chunky monkey Bible like I have here.

And we're going to go on over to Second Corinthians 1, verse 20.

And it says here, for all of the promises of God in him are yes, and in him.

Amen.

Now, this is a really powerful scripture.

It says, to the glory of God through us.

And don't forget that last part.

It says, to the glory of God through.

Through us.

See, God's promises are already decided.

Sometimes, you know, we.

We approach God like we're trying to convince him to do something or convince him that we're worthy of somehow receiving his promise.

But he's already, you know, we don't have to ask him to make his mind up on something.

He's already made his mind up about the promises that he set aside for you.

His part is done.

It was done in Jesus is already a yes.

And this is, this should, this alone should change the way that we pray.

You know, when we found out that healing was part of the promises of God that Jesus has provided for us, it changed the way we prayed for our daughter.

Now, daughter Hannah's testimony, many of you will be very familiar with that.

And if you've never seen her testimony, then you should go on over to our website@terrydes.com and watch it.

It's like a documentary they did on her.

And it's really powerful.

You know, when she was three years old, she had what was going to be a fatal autoimmune disease.

And she was only given like a week to live.

And we got a hold of these truths that I'm talking about today through a mentor of ours now, Andrew Wommack.

And you know, that teaching, he really opened the word of God up to us and explained that the healing was a promise of God that's already been provided.

And when we understood that, man, it changed the way that we prayed.

You know, Hannah had been sick from the.

From even before she was born.

And it came at that point in our life to a real crunch moment.

And we knew as parents, we knew time was ticking away, time was running out.

We could see her dying in front of us.

And there's just that helpless feeling like, you know, you would trade places in a heartbeat if you could with one of your kids that are sick.

It's the most devastating thing as a parent to watch your child suffer, you know, to the point.

To the point of death.

And it just is something that's so completely unnatural.

I mean, no parent should ever have to bury a child, right?

I mean, that's just so alien to how God has set life up to be.

And so as parents, we're watching our child, you know, in the last moments, really are passing away.

And suddenly we get this revelation of healing.

And we'd been believers for a long time.

We weren't newbies.

We'd been believers for probably over a decade at this point.

But, you know, sometimes life just gets in the way of the Word of God.

That's really what it comes down to.

Our life experience and misunderstanding with the Word of God were really hindering us from receiving the promises and specifically the promise of healing that adulter Hanato so desperately needed.

And what we were believing or incorrectly believing was a major hindrance.

But when we.

When we heard, when we saw this scripture and it became real to us, it became life to us.

It changed the way we prayed.

We went from begging God to heal Hannah to being thankful and saying, thank you, Lord, you've already done it.

And now, you know, this.

This really kind of becomes challenging to people.

And I get this question a lot, so I'm going to answer it.

But how can we say amen if we're still sick?

This is a question that comes up a lot, and.

And I want to address that in a moment.

But let's just take a second and look at what promises in the Word of God that God has already said yes to.

Well, it says healing is yes, you know, and you can write these scriptures down if you want to.

It'll probably help you.

I'm not going to read them all because we're just not going to be able to get through it all.

But I'm going to give you the references so that you can look them up.

But first, Peter 2:24 is a reference, and it says that by his stripes, we are Healed.

That's talking about Jesus on the cross being the payment.

He literally took stripes on our back so that we might be healed.

And that word, healed is not talking about a spiritual healing, like I was told many, many times the past when Hannah was dying.

But it is a physical healing by Jesus.

Stripes on.

On the cross, by him taking the punishment for sickness in our place.

It means that the promise of healing belongs to us.

He paid for it.

Okay, that's 1st Peter 2:24.

Provision is ours.

Philippians 4:19.

That talks about God supplies all of our needs.

He.

It's him that supplies our needs and needs and our wants.

Right.

But, you know, provision is a promise.

It's part of the atonement.

It says Jesus became poor that we might become rich.

And that is not talking about spiritual riches.

That's a financial passage.

Second Corinthians.

Actually, all of 2 Corinthians, chapter 8 and chapter 9 are financial chapters, but in context, it's talking about finances, physical riches.

Okay, so poverty is a curse.

When we see this in the.

Even in the Old Testament, poverty was always a curse.

Sickness was always a curse.

And these are things that Jesus redeemed us from.

There we have promises that God has said yes to.

Regardless of whether what our physical circumstances are.

The promise of God is still yes for you to be rich.

It's still yes for you to be well.

Now, sometimes we look at our physical circumstances and think, oh, I'm not sure about that, because I don't see it yet.

Well, we're going to get to that.

What else has he said yes to?

Peace.

Mike.

He said, don't be afraid.

My peace.

I leave with you.

My peace.

He's given us his very own peace.

One of the very names of Jesus is the Prince of peace.

You know, peace was something that was paid for on the cross.

And.

And so, you know, it's part of the atonement as much as.

And healing is as much as healing is.

Isaiah 26:3 man.

So such a powerful scripture, he who keeps his mind stayed upon the Lord is kept in perfect peace.

So peace is when we have a revelation of the peace that Jesus has already paid for and given to us.

Now, you know, you can have peace in the middle of a storm.

You can have peace in the middle of tragedy, of trial, of trauma.

You can still be in a place of peace in the middle of chaos.

Peace is a positional truth.

It's not circumstantial.

This is really important.

So these are things, if you're just joining us, that the promises of God can.

What's the word I'm looking for?

The promises of God cover all of these different subjects that I'm talking about here.

And God's already said yes to them.

So it's not like we have to beg him to give us peace.

He's already given us peace.

It's not like we have to beg him to give us healing.

He's already provided it for us.

It's not like he has to have to beg him for resources because he's already provided them for us.

Okay, what else is in here?

Wisdom.

You know, James 1:5.

It talks about, if you need wisdom, ask for it, you receive it.

Have you ever wondered how.

How do I.

How do I answer this question?

How do I resolve this problem?

How do I troubleshoot this?

How on earth are we going to get through this?

You know, if you need wisdom, if you're.

If you need to make a good decision, God says, ask the wisdom.

You have it.

You have it.

You know, you have the mind of Christ is what the Word says.

The mind of Christ.

What about protection?

Well, the whole of Psalm 91 is talking about the protection that you have.

The Lord, that under his wings we can.

We can shelter.

He's our protection.

You know, he calls his angels to encamp around us, encircle us.

The blessings of God go before us and.

And overtake us, man.

His protection is we are supernaturally protected.

Okay, that is part of the promises of God.

What about victory?

Yeah, victory, man.

And, you know, there's lots of scriptures that talk about victory, but this is the.

This is the victory that we have, our faith that overcomes the world.

First John 5.

Right.

And what about authority?

We have authority in this world over the things that the enemy tries to put upon us, afflict us with in some way.

We have authority.

That was a really major revelation for my husband, Ashley and I when we were going through that healing challenge with our daughter.

We did not realize that we had authority over a child.

You know, authority is given to you as believers.

You have authority over your own body.

You have authority over the things the enemy is doing.

And so it changed us when we realized that, you know, sickness was not From God.

We had authority over it.

We started speaking to the sickness and commanding it to leave.

We weren't begging and pleading men.

There was a whole difference in the way that we prayed.

There was a boldness.

There was an authority that came out of our voice because we knew it had been given to us to use.

This wasn't something that was just pie in the sky, but it was.

It was something that became real to us and we started to dispense it.

And when we did, we saw dramatic changes because we were drawing on a promise of God that he'd already said yes to.

And remember, I just read that scripture.

I'm going to read it again because I know I've got people joining in.

We're here in Second Corinthians 1:20.

It says for all of the promises of God.

That doesn't mean some of the promises.

That means all of them.

All of these promises.

And this is just a few of them.

There's more.

I don't think I've ever made a definitive list of the promises of God, but now I've just inspired myself to do that, so I'll be looking that one up.

But all of the promises of God.

Not just some of them, all of them in of God, in him that's in Jesus are.

Yes.

And in him, in Jesus.

Amen.

Jesus secured all of our promises, okay?

And look, it says to the glory of God through us.

This is, really, this is really important because, you know, God is not glorified until his promises are moving through us.

And people, sometimes they throw sickness out and they'll say things like, you know, God gets the glory for me being sick and learning how to be a trooper and just overcome it and suffer on with it.

No, God gets the glory when you, when you, when you testify, God gets the glory when sin, sickness and disease has no power in your body.

God does not glory in sickness and disease.

God gets the glory in you receiving.

And that promise of healing, working through you.

That's when God gets the glory, man.

These were major, major changes to us.

Really, really important.

You know, before you ever prayed, God had already spoken his yes in Christ, in that, in that powerful.

This word that we're, that we're reading from today was written before you were born, thousands of years before you were born.

And God already said yes to every promise that you would ever need.

He'd already given us the solution to every problem before he ever had it.

Man.

That's powerful.

And when we're saying, when we say amen, his part is yes, but when we saying amen, we are adding our agreement to his promise to.

To what he's already given us.

You know, so how can.

I'm going to answer this question now?

Because I said I would.

How can we say amen then if we're still sick?

Or you could put in that whatever, you know, whatever circumstance that you have, contrary to a promise, you know, how can we say amen if we're still poor?

Or how can we say amen if we're still tormented or, you know, whatever you.

You need to put in there.

Put in there.

But you know this.

How can I.

How can I say amen to healing when I still feel sick?

You know what?

We don't say amen to what we feel.

We say amen to what God has already said.

That is huge.

We don't say amen to what we feel.

We say amen to what God said in the word amen.

It means let it be so let it be.

So this is really, really powerful.

Or so be it.

So be it.

There's another way to say that I'm always amen to something.

It's like, so be it.

I want what you said.

I agree with what you said.

You know, I prayed for a person one time, and they came to me with a paralyzed arm.

They couldn't move their arm from the shoulder to their hand.

It was just hanging down by their side like it was limp.

And I said, well, what are you expecting to happen when we pray?

And, you know, the guy was like, oh, you know, I don't know.

I've just been through all the surgeries.

I've, you know, I've taken all the medication, I've done all the therapies, and, you know, nothing seems to work.

So I'm just.

I'm just hoping it gets better.

I'm like, no, no, that.

That doesn't sound like hope to me.

Let me explain to you what I'm expecting to happen when I pray for you.

I'm expecting the nerves that were paralyzed to come back to life, parts that were severed to become rejoined.

I'm expecting strength to come back to your muscles, feeling to come back to your skin and to your nerves again, strength to come back, coordination to come back to your bones that you'll be able to lift your arm above your head and have full use and full mobility restored back to you in an instant.

You know what he said to me?

I agree with what you said.

You know, that was so powerful.

His agreement in that moment was the point at which that man Received his miracle.

And the seconds later, everything that we had, he had just agreed to started to manifest into his arm.

Until the point where he was getting excited, he was throwing his arm up and down, he was waving.

I mean, he was in tears over this because it was such a dramatic turnaround.

But I say that because it would not have happened without his agreement if he.

If I'd have just agreed to, you know, join him in that place of, you know, misery and, oh, this is so terrible.

This must be so hard for you.

And, you know, well, we'll just pray and we'll just see.

You know, maybe.

Maybe God's in a good mood.

Maybe he'll, you know, he'll do something.

If we beg for long enough, if we plead for long enough, then maybe you'll get some sort of, you know, some sort of feeling back in your arm and it'll get a bit better.

No, that is not a prayer of faith or expectation.

That is not a prayer that I want to have someone pray over me or a prayer that I can say amen to.

When I'm saying amen to something, I'm saying so be it.

Let it be unto me according to your word, Lord.

Whatever.

Whatever you've said, I agree with.

We're not.

We're not saying amen to the current situation.

We're saying amen to a promises of God.

That's already a guarantee.

That's already a yes.

That's already been secured in a realm that's of the spirit.

Now this is really important because people say, aren't I just faking it till I make it?

No, because you see, we are living in our bodies, in a physical realm.

Our body is physical, right?

You pinch me.

Ow.

Right?

It hurts.

We have five senses.

That's our physical world.

The way we can see and feel and touch and taste and hear and interact with all of the things around us.

But we're not just physical.

The physical part is the part that we can see with our natural eyes.

But when we're born again believers, we're spiritually alive.

And the spiritual world is just as real as the physical world.

In fact, the spiritual world was in existence before the physical world was.

That's how comes God was able to speak the physical world into creation.

If there wasn't a spirit world first, there wouldn't be a physical world.

God spoke you into, into being.

God is a spirit and he speaks to us spirit to spirit.

That's how that works.

So when we're saying amen to a promise of God, we're saying we agree in this natural world with what happened in the spiritual realm.

Already we're agreeing with a spiritual truth rather than a physical condition.

You know, what Jesus paid for us on the cross.

It wasn't just something physical that happened to his body in that moment.

He took everything on his body that was ever going to happen to anyone else's body, you know, to anyone else in any.

In any circumstance.

So when we're saying amen, let's not say amen.

Let's not get into agreement.

I don't want to put my agreement with my flesh.

I want to put my.

Which is temporary.

I want to put my agreement with what the word of God says, with the promises of God.

That's eternal.

Remember, anything that's in this natural world is temporary.

It's passing away.

If you don't like your life right now, if you don't like what's going on in your world right now, if you don't like what you're seeing in your body right now, at least you can take comfort in the fact that, you know it's temporary.

It shall come to pass, right?

Either way, it's not going to stay there forever.

But spiritual truths are permanent.

They're unchanging.

They're incorruptible.

Really, really important.

So we're not faking it till we're making it.

We're just agreeing with a different realm.

Symptoms are temporary.

The unseen realm, the spirit realm is eternal.

You know, we can read that in 2nd Corinthians 4:18.

But God's words never changes.

God's word is.

Isaiah 40:1st 8 says God's word never changes.

You know, let's look at this.

I want to look at an example of this in the scripture.

We're going to look at Romans.

And this talks about what happens in Genesis round about 15.

But, you know, in Romans 4, it talks about Abraham.

And it says this in verse 18, against all hope.

Now, a bit background on Abraham.

He was called Abraham back then until God changed his name and inserted part of his own name into.

Into his name and called him Abraham.

But his backstory is that him and his wife were, you know, like pushing 100 and completely barren.

But God had given them a promise of a child.

And it looked well past the impossible in the natural sense.

The shop was shut on that case, right?

But God still said, you know, his promise is still valid.

It doesn't matter how old you get.

It doesn't matter how weak you get.

It doesn't matter how barren you are, how Long you've been like that.

How, How?

The condition hasn't changed for so long.

You know, the length of time makes no difference.

When it comes to a miracle, it makes no difference.

But he.

He said the promise is still good.

And I want you to see Abraham's response in.

In verse 18, Romans 4, 18 says, against all hope.

He believed in hope that he might become the father of many nations according to what was spoken.

What was spoken where?

By his feelings, by his friends?

No, what was spoken to him by God, so shall your descendants be.

Those five words kept Abraham and Sarah going for 20 years it took, so they were even older when they finally conceived and had a child.

But they had a child.

That promise did not return void.

And it said, not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body to be dead, for he was about a hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.

He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God and being fully persuaded that what God had promised, he was able to perform it.

And therefore it was credited to him as righteousness.

Now the words it was created to him were not only written for his sake only, but also for us.

For to whom it shall be credited, if we believe in him who raised Christ Jesus from the dead, who was delivered for our transgressions and was raised for our justification, you know, we are putting faith in the Christ that has already defeated every problem.

We are putting faith in Christ that is already sealed with his own blood.

The.

The contract that God made with mankind, that his promises are yes and amen.

God has said yes through Jesus.

It became a solidified yes.

But there still needs to be our amen in order for the promises of God to flow through us.

According to Second Corinthians 1, verse 20, right?

They.

They.

They move through us.

So if you've had a promise that you haven't seen come to pass yet, hold on.

Don't let it go.

Abraham held on to that promise.

Those five words, so shall my seed be right here.

And I'm sure there were people around him as the time went on that says, well, are you sure about that?

Did you really hear God on that?

Well, I haven't seen it yet.

There's no evidence of that yet.

Sarah's getting older and older and the time is ticking.

You know, she's.

She doesn't look pregnant yet.

You know, they had to go and they had to do something to make that promise come to pass.

There had to be some physical interaction.

It wasn't an immaculate conception.

You know, they had to put their.

Their faith into action.

Now, I'm not going to get into all the details in case we have children listening or watching, but you know how babies are made and they.

And that was an act of faith.

There was a moving tools for the promises of God to flow through.

That was their agreement.

Their physical action of intimacy was their.

Was agreement.

They agreed with the word verbally and they agreed with the word physically.

You know, sometimes we.

We have not because we ask not, or have not because we ask amiss or have not because we won't do anything.

You know, Jesus has done the hard part, but our, the agreement part now with what he's done is our part.

Is our part.

So Abraham faced a body that didn't line up with the promises of God.

Maybe your body doesn't line up with the promises of God right now, okay?

Yet he chose to consider the promise more real than the circumstance.

That's not an easy thing to do.

He chose to consider the promise of God more real than those circumstances.

You know, when our daughter was healed, it didn't look like anything had happened.

She was prayed for when she was asleep in the stroller.

And, you know, there wasn't any angels, cherubim, gold dust, anything like that.

No.

No singing and trumpets, no flashes of lightning.

No.

She didn't jump out the stroller and start running around the room.

Right.

She still looked like she was dying.

But our act of faith was to go and do something that she couldn't do, and that was to feed her.

And, you know, we had to make that decision to take that course of action before we saw the results.

Before we saw the results.

You know, this is.

That was us lining up with the promises of God rather than going with the natural circumstance that was hanging in the more time.

How do you get to that point?

People ask me that sometimes.

How did you get to that point?

We spent a lot of time in the Word.

We spent a lot of time meditating on that promise.

We spent a lot of time in the truth.

It wasn't a work you can't work to.

To earn your healing, but the, the labor.

You know, in Hebrews it talks about laboring to enter the rest.

I think the laboring that it's talking about is getting your mind to a place where it says amen, Amen.

Let it be your word.

I'm saying amen to the word, to the promise, and not amen to the circumstances.

That was the work that was involved in that.

You know, we call that renewing the mind.

But okay, so how can we say amen if we're still sick?

Because we're saying amen to a promise, not to amen to a feeling.

And, and amen is the bridge between God's promise and our experience.

You know, we're speaking to the mountain and commanding it to be cast into the sea.

You know, we're not just believing in our heart, but we're speaking also.

That's the bridge.

Amen is us speaking something out of our mouth.

You know, your words are so, so powerful.

The enemy will do anything he can to stop you from speaking them.

Because he knows if God's word is spoken out of your mouth, it won't return void.

It just doesn't have a chance.

Right.

If we refuse to move away from the word, it's going to have an effect.

Sometimes not in the time frame that we want, but you know, it will always have an effect.

So God's yes, was settled in Jesus.

And if we want to know God's will about a circumstance, we can look at Jesus.

He says he came and he healed them all many times over.

He came.

He says he healed them all many times.

People that came, there wasn' any exceptions.

Who'd been oppressed by the devil and healed all those that were sick.

He healed all of those that were sick.

He freed all of those that were oppressed by the devil.

You know, Jesus was, was our standard.

He's.

He literally demonstrated every promise of God.

He bore our sickness, he carried our sorrows.

You can read all about them.

What he actually accomplished on the cross in Isaiah 53, verse 4.

And by his stripes, we were healed.

Now I just read that at the beginning, 1st Peter 2, 24, but it's actually quoting back there in Isaiah, which was written even before Jesus was born.

You know, he.

Galatians 3:13 says, he redeemed us.

Jesus was the one that redeemed us.

He redeemed us from the curse of the law.

Now, the curse of the law said, if you read back, if you want to know what the curses of the law are, you can read those in Deuteronomy, chapter 28.

You know, it has a whole list of the curses which now we've been redeemed from.

They don't apply to us.

Anymore that half the chapter doesn't apply to us anymore because Jesus fulfilled the law.

But the blessings still apply to us.

And you'll see that sickness is never listed as a blessing.

Poverty is never listed as a blessing.

His own.

I've said that completely wrong.

Sick, yes.

Sickness is never listed as a blessing.

Poverty is never listed as a blessing.

They're always a curse.

Healing is always listed as a blessing.

And prosperity.

Hang on, I've got myself really confused.

Let me just say that again for my own sanity.

Sickness and poverty are always curses, never blessings.

And healing and prosperity are never curses, always blessings.

Okay?

So make sure you get those right, you know, if you want to.

Cheat sheet.

God is good, the devil is bad.

All right, Good God, bad devil.

There we go.

You know, so Jesus came to give us an abundant life.

This is interesting.

That is the ministry verse that Territory's Ministries is built upon that.

Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly.

You know, it's the enemy who comes to kill, steal and destroy.

But Jesus, he came to give us life and life more abundantly.

Abundant life doesn't look like sickness.

Abundant life doesn't look like poverty.

Right.

Abundant life doesn't look like chaos.

It doesn't look like bondage.

It looks like health and wealth and peace and prosperity.

All of those things are part of that abundant life.

A life of restoration, a life of victory.

So God's yes is forever settled because Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

You know, the word of God doesn't return what?

It doesn't change.

God is not changing his mind about the promises that he secured through Jesus and the.

And the promises that he wants you to agree so that he can work through you.

He hasn't.

He hasn't.

He's made his mind up and he hasn't changed.

He's the God who changes.

Not.

So what is our.

What does our Amen do?

Well, our Amen, our so be it, activates the promise.

Let me show you how Amen meaning so be it, is our faith response to God's grace.

Jesus.

Jesus is grace personified.

He is the person of grace.

He.

But you know, we couldn't earn these promises if we tried.

There just wouldn't be enough money in the whole world.

There wouldn't be enough good deeds in the whole world.

Right?

But Jesus paid for those.

He paid for those with one drop of his blood.

And so when we put our amen to it, that's our faith response that that causes us to and enter into and activates that promise in our life.

Faith doesn't move God because he already moved and every spiritual blessing has already been given.

But what faith does is it receives what God already provided.

Big deal.

His yes is constant.

It's constant.

He's.

All of his promises are yes.

But our own men plugs into it.

Like we're plugging a, you know, plug into an outlet on the wall, right?

So that's so.

So we have to connect.

You know, you think about electricity.

I'm looking around my office here.

I don't think I can.

There's a.

There's an owl over there.

You know, there's electricity in that wall.

There's electricity in the wall, but unless I take my plug and I put it into the slot, that electricity isn't going to flow.

When, you know, you could say that electricity flowing in the wall is like the promise of God that he's already said yes to.

It's already there.

It's already provided.

The electricity is already present.

But when I say amen, when I say so be it, when I put my agreement to that is like the moment when I plug something into that socket and the electricity starts to flow into that device, man.

Super powerful.

This is just how the promises of God work.

So what does amen, what does our agreement look like?

Well, amen looks like when we align our words with God's word, we start to say the same as about our situation that he's already saying, you know, Proverbs says that we have death and life in the power of our tongue.

Proverbs 18, verse 21.

Joel 3, 10 says, Let the weak say.

Say I am strong.

Let the weak say, I am strong.

That doesn't mean let the weak say, I am weak.

I am.

I am agreeing with how I'm feeling.

I'm agreeing with a natural circumstance.

It says, let the weak say, I am strong.

That's completely contrary to the natural circumstance, but it's agreeing with the word of God.

This is in Psalms 107.

2.

It says, Let the redeemed of the Lord see, say so are you redeemed?

Then say it.

You know, remind your body, no, I'm the redeemed of the Lord.

I've got the life of Christ working on the inside of me.

You know, when God says, we're healed, amen, says, lord, I agree with you.

It says, I agree with you.

You know, we're agreeing with.

Isaiah 53, verse 5 says, I'm agreeing with you, Lord, I'm agreeing with your word.

I'm Agreeing with your healing power in my body.

I don't agree with these symptoms.

I don't agree with this disease.

I. I'm agreeing with your word for me.

I'm agreeing with your plans for me.

There's a.

There's a mind shift that happens in our heart, but comes out of our mouth.

We can't just believe it in our heart.

We have to let it come out of our mouth.

Say it.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.

Let the weak say, I am strong.

These are good confessions for you.

If you're feeling weak, say I'm strong.

I might feel weak, but I'm strong, right?

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Man, that's.

That's powerful.

What else does an amen look like?

Amen.

Looks like expecting the promise, not the problem.

You know, faith has expectation.

Hebrews 11, verse 1 says that now faith is now faith is.

There's a now to it.

It is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen for by it.

The elders obtained a good testimony.

Now faith is.

There's an expectation of something good happening.

I thank you Lord.

Something good is happening to me.

I thank you Lord.

Your strength is flowing through my body.

I thank you Lord.

Your word is making my bones strong.

I thank you Lord.

Your.

Your word is making my organs to.

To come back to life again and not fail.

I thank you Lord, that your word is.

Is eradicating any sickness, any disease, killing any germs in my body right now.

In Jesus name, man.

Faith is an expectation that is spoken.

You know, what does amen look like?

It means like Psalm 23, verse 6.

Surely goodness and mercy follow me.

There's a surety about it, there's a guarantee about it.

We start agreeing with and expect with the word and expecting the promise, not the problem.

Sometimes.

Sometimes our.

We are our own worst enemy.

This is.

This is so true.

You know, we get stuck in a negative cycle of expectation.

Hey, you need a.

You need this little book.

The power of expectation.

Shameless plug, right?

You need this card.

Shameless plug gave this way at the beginning as well.

The hope confession card.

You know, to.

If you.

If you're one of these people that.

That gets caught in a.

And I repeat, you know, when the record keeps going around replaying negative circumstances, negative emotions, negative words that other people have said, entertaining fears that pop into your head, but you know, start taking up root because you're meditating on them.

You know, this is something that really speaks to you.

Get.

Get these Words, what God says about your situation out of your mouth.

Surely goodness and mercy follow me rather than saying bad things always happen to me.

I always catch everything that's going around, say no, surely goodness and mercy follow me.

You know, don't say, surely all the terrible people in the world and bad relationships follow me now.

Surely goodness and mercy follow me, surely, right?

We can, we can change what we, what we receive by speaking the promise and expecting the promise, not the problem.

What else does amen look like?

It looks like taking action before you see the manifestation.

This is a biggie.

Taking action before you see the manifestation.

You know, we walk by faith and not by sight.

If we wait for everything to line up before we make a move in any direction, before we try and do something that we couldn't do before, that's not faith.

That's just a hoping and a wish you're not having and taking.

So faith without action is dead is what James 2, verse 17 says.

But there's lots of examples of this in the scripture.

Peter, he had to step out the boat while the storm was still raging.

You know, I used to have a, I think it was a good news Bible when I was a kid.

And it had all the pictures in it and it didn't show the waves, it showed like a whole mill pond.

You know, the water was so still and so calm and there's little angel and there's Jesus and ah, beautiful rainbow.

No, the storm was still raging.

It was still scary, it was still loud.

It was still, you know, when he looked over the side of the boat, you know, the boat, the water was coming in the boat, the circumstances were coming to meet him, smack him in the face, right?

He felt the wind and the waves on his face before he stepped out.

But at that, at that word, Jesus, word, he knew that that was enough to stand on.

He had to make a move before the water calmed.

And really, really, you know, to, to get to that point is going to take some moving beyond, some determination in the Word to move beyond even your natural impulses.

What about the woman of the issue of blood?

I mean, it's mentioned in several accounts, but in Mark 5 you'll find it in Mark 5:27-29, the woman is that she pressed in before she felt healed.

She had to press in.

And she said, she said, if I touch the hem of that, of his garment, that's it.

There's no other way out of this.

I'm getting healed.

If I touch the hem of that garment, if I can get there and Touch the hem of that garment.

That's it.

I'm coming out of this heel.

There's no other option for me.

That's it.

And she, you know, she pressed through the crowd.

She had to overcome some adversity.

Sometimes the action was challenging.

Sometimes an action of faith isn't comfortable.

I remember one time I was out in the field.

I was chasing after my cat that was trying to get a rabbit, and I was trying to save the rabbit from the cat.

We lived on the farm.

It was a whole thing.

But, you know, I didn't see a.

There's like a hole in the ground, and I didn't see.

And I put my foot right in it.

But my momentum carried me over the top.

And I heard a snap in my ankle.

And I'm quite a long way from the house, maybe a quarter mile from the house.

We had some acreage and stuff, and, you know, there was no one around.

I didn't have a cell phone.

I couldn't call for help or anything.

You know, I didn't know no one was home.

So I didn't know there could be hours before anyone found me.

And all that was flashing through my mind was.

Was me on crutches with a broken leg and, you know, even worse things than that.

You know, what if.

What if, you know, people didn't find me?

What if animals ate me?

What if it got dark?

What if it started to rain?

You know, it's just all these things when you're in the middle of.

Of a trial start to run through your mind.

But I knew I had to do something.

Out came my mouth.

Out of my mouth came.

No, the top of my lungs.

I was not going to agree with the pain that I felt in my ankle or the noise of the bone cracking that I had heard.

I was not going to agree with the pictures I had in my mind of me on crutches and, you know, a lot of the.

The recovery.

And I wasn't going to agree with that.

What I was going to agree with was what God said, already said about me.

That but that he sent his word and healed me and delivered me from all my destructions and stupid pitfalls.

Literally, right?

Literally delivered me from my destructions and pitfalls and put my foot in the pit, right?

And so I leapt up.

My action in that moment was to let it come.

The word come out of my mouth.

So I agreed, not with the feeling, but with the promise.

And my action that followed was uncomfortable.

I leapt up onto my feet and started running back to the house on A.

Well, I.

What I believe was a broken ankle.

And it hurt, man, it hurt so bad.

And it didn't stop hurting.

It didn't stop hurting for.

For a while, you know, by the time I got back to the house, this thing had swollen up.

It was all kinds of different colors and, you know, and if you've ever broken bones, the sound of a bone breaking and the feeling of a bone breaking is something you don't forget, you know, you can.

It's a pain on the inside, not a pain on the outside.

And, you know, but I just kept speaking the word and with every step, you know, it was hurting, it was hurting, it was hurting, but I just kept speaking the word, kept speaking the word.

I wasn't going to put my amen to a feeling.

I wasn't going to put my amen to a broken bone.

I wasn't giving my amen to the swelling or the bruising.

But bit by bit, over the course of a few hours, that swelling started to subside.

I started to walk with better, be able to put more weight on it, be able to walk without limp, until within a few hours, that thing was completely recovered.

Completely recovered.

But, you know, for me, that action, that.

That meant taking an action before I saw a manifestation.

And the lame man, there's loads more examples of this in the Word.

The lame man, in John 5, 8 and 9, he stood up at their word.

He stood up and he got strength back into his ankles, right?

The widow poured out oil in 2nd Kings 4, verses 1 to 7.

You know, this.

This is the prophet that came to her.

She was basically getting ready to die.

And, you know, she just had a little bit left, a little bit.

A little bit of oil.

And the prophet says, go and gather vessels from your neighbors.

Not don't just gather a few.

Gather as many as you can find and then pour the oil out.

Shut the door and pour the oil out.

You know, with the little bit she had, she poured it out.

She.

She performed that action.

And God took her natural action and added his supernatural power to it.

That oil kept going and kept going and keep going.

In fact, it didn't stop until she ran out of pots.

You know, I bet she was wondering what would happen if I'd only found some more pots.

It would have kept flowing.

But you know, that.

That oil was enough to.

That she could sell and provide for her and her family, man.

Massive.

It provided for her for a lifetime.

So our amen.

Our amen looks like taking action before you see the manifestation.

What does our amen Also look like.

It looks like refusing anything that contradicts the promise.

This is a big one.

2nd Corinthians 5, 10.

2nd Corinthians 10, verse 5.

It says we have to cast down vain imaginations in anything that exalts itself against the promise of God.

Anything.

You know, there are circumstances that want to exalt themselves, make themselves bigger, make themselves higher, make themselves more dominant, make themselves more noisy.

You know, they say the squeaky will gets the grease.

You know, that is what the devil will do.

He'll be more than a squeaky will.

He'll mean, he'll.

He'll just try and wreak havoc.

And he.

What he's trying to do is get your attention to focus on everything that he's doing through sickness, disease, symptoms, symptoms.

Pain speaks loud on the inside of a person.

Pain will do this.

It will stop, you know, speaking into your imagination, you know, and telling you how you're always gonna.

You're always going to feel this pain and how it's always going to be worse and how you're going to have to have this surgery and how this is.

You're never going to be able to move again.

No, that's a vain imagination.

That's against a promise of God.

Sometimes we've got to get a new imagination.

Yeah, and that, you know, if you've already always been sick your whole life and never known what it looks like to be, well, you can ask the Holy Spirit.

Give you a new vision.

Give you.

Give you a godly imagination.

Give you dreams and vision.

If you can't get them through the daytime, then Lord, speak to me in dreams.

Speak to me in dreams.

Show me what I look like.

Well, you get a new imagination.

And every time that that pain or that ache or that symptom or that circumstance starts talking back to you, you start speaking to it.

Said, cast that.

I cast that vain imagination down and you replace it with the one that God gave you or the one that the Word depicts you as.

Right.

We can.

We have to resist the enemy.

James 4.

7 says, Submit to God, resist the enemy.

He'll flee from us.

This is a way that we contradict the lie of the enemy and we agree with the promise instead.

You know, second Timothy one, verse seven says, we have power and of love.

We don't have a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Getting our mind renewed is huge.

We have a whole series called Brain Training.

Brain Training.

If you need.

If you're serious about mind renewal, check out Brain Training.

On our website.

Yeah.

You know, Amy, we all have been in that position at some point where we struggle to.

To see ourselves the way that God sees us.

You know, sometimes it can help by, you know, maybe if you have got a picture of you when you were feeling well or in a better state, you know, you can get that old picture out and put it up on the wall, but set it before you.

Put it on your mirror where you.

When you're brushing your teeth so you can see it.

Put it before you.

You know, this is what the Lord said to Joshua, right?

He says, get this word before you.

Don't let it depart from your eyes.

Don't.

Don't look to the left or the right, but set it before you.

And make your way.

And be.

Be.

And make your way prosperous.

Be.

Be courageous.

Amen.

What else does amen look like?

Well, it looks like rest.

Sometimes it looks like rest.

You know, confidence and peace.

These are actually characteristics of faith.

Faith isn't crazy running around like a headless chicken.

And my husband says this, but Jesus didn't run anywhere in a panic.

He walked.

Even when he heard that his friend Lazarus had died, he walked.

He wasn't in a hurry.

He.

Because, you know, when we know that, we know that, we know that it's a done deal, that it's a promise that we've already said amen to and God's already said yes to.

It's already provided we don't have to beg and please and hurry and get stressed about it.

There's a rest in that.

You know, there's a rest in that.

In Hebrews chapter 4, 9, 11 says, There's a rest that remains for us.

There's a rest.

And, and there's a hope that, you know, confidence, hope is a confident expectation of good.

It's talking about a hope that anchors the soul.

You know, Hebrews 6, 19.

A hope that anchors our soul.

If our soul isn't anchored in a hope that doesn't disappoint, which is the hope we put in Jesus, our soul will go.

It'll be tossed around by every wind of doctrine.

Right.

Unstable in all of its ways is what it says in James.

But if your soul is not anchored in the word of God, it's going to.

It's going to be pushed around.

And, you know, people that are really follow after conspiracy theories, okay, and news reports and whatever, you know, the, the latest Tele evangelist or YouTube prophet has to say, you know, these are people that are really susceptible to just being pushed around by the enemy.

Because their hope is that their soul is not anchored in the word, but rather in the words of somebody else and which may or might not be good.

Right?

So if you want stability in our soul, we have to anchor it in the word of God rather than other people's opinions or interpretations.

Okay?

What else does amen look like?

It looks like Thanksgiving before you see results.

We just had Thanksgiving here in the.

In America.

I think it's a great holiday, but, you know, we need to give thanks in all things.

Not for.

For all things, because not all things are from God.

Sickness is not from God.

Poverty is not from God.

Okay?

But we give thanks despite the things, because we're.

We're not part of the things.

The things are in the natural world.

Right?

We're higher than that.

But we need to.

We need to start giving thanks.

And Philippians 4, verse 6 and 7, Thanksgiving.

It talks all about Thanksgiving, that Thanksgiving actually brings peace.

Thanksgiving is huge.

Gratitude is massive.

You know, Jesus in John 6, you know, I'm thinking about the.

The miracle of the loaves and the fish.

You know, the little boy's lunch, that's all that it had to feed, you know, 5,000 plus people.

I mean, that there was more than that, probably 20,000 with women and children.

They only counted the men, but, you know, a few loaves and a few fish.

The disciples, like, this ain't gonna cut it.

This isn't gonna.

This isn't gonna work.

This isn't.

You know, this isn't enough.

What are so few among so many when we're faced with an obstacle, they agreed with their feelings rather than with the promise.

And that was a problem.

But Jesus had a different mindset.

He took the seemingly not enough, and he gave thanks for it, and he blessed it.

And then he handed it over to the disciples.

And the miracle of multiplication happened in their hands.

Man, if we would just take the little thing that we have, the little bit that we have, and rather than curse it and saying, it's not enough, it's not enough.

I can't, I can't, I won't, I shan't.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, right?

But say, I thank you, Lord.

I have, I am, I will be.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord, that I have an abundance for every good work.

Thank you, Lord, that everything I touch prospers.

Thank you, Lord, that.

That your strength in your strength, you know, Christ in me is.

Strengthens me.

Thank you, Lord.

You know, give thanks.

Powerful.

What else does amen look like?

It looks like a steady heart in the Middle of the battle.

Oh, come on.

And you can't have a steady heart in the middle of the battle if you move away from peace.

I've got a whole teaching series on this called the Supernatural Power of Peace.

Right.

You need to get that one.

That's a good one.

But you know, Timothy talks about First Timothy 6, verse 12 talks about fighting the good fight.

What is the good fight?

The fight that we've already won.

You know, a good fight is one that you already know the outcome and it's victory.

Your Christ has secured for us the victory.

That's what it means to fight the good fight of faith.

Say, I thank you, Lord, that I'm an overcomer.

Even by faith.

I'm a world overcomer, Lord, I thank you, you, that no weapon formed against me can prosper.

I thank you, Lord, that I have the victory in every circumstance.

I thank you, Lord, that you always leave me in triumph.

Thank you, Lord, that you're working all things together for my good.

Thank you, Lord.

Right.

Find the good for faith and walking it by faith.

You know, 1st 2nd Corinthians 5, 7 says, we walk by faith and not by sight.

We can't go by what it looks like in the natural.

You know, victory isn't determined by what you see with your natural eyes.

It's determined by what you know in the spirit.

It's.

It's not determined by our feelings.

It's.

It's determined by a promise.

It's determined by a resurrected Jesus.

Amen.

And don't go.

Don't faint.

Don't get.

Don't give up.

Don't grow weary while doing good.

Don't quit.

You know, Galatians 6, 9.

Don't, don't faint.

Don't while doing good.

Don't go weary.

Stick with it.

You're going to win if you don't quit.

All right, what else?

Amen.

God gives us the glory through us.

When we read that through.

The scripture we started with at the beginning, in second Corinthians 1, verse 20.

His promises are yes and amen to the glory of God, of his power working through us.

And the fight of faith is holding on to our Amen.

Holding on to your confession.

Hold fast to your confession.

Hold fast to the confession of faith.

Without wavering.

You're going to receive that promise, you know.

How do we.

How do we step into the promises of God?

We start with our yes.

We start with our yes.

God's already said yes, but our Amen is our yes.

It connects us to every single promise of God that he's already provided for us.

When we say yes, when we say Amen, we're saying, so be it.

Lord, I believe I'm putting my Amen to your promise, not amen to my feelings.

I'm.

I'm plugging myself into that socket of power and I'm connecting to your life source flowing through me.

Amen.

Powerful truths right there.

Well, I hope that you got something good from that.

I'd encourage you to go back through.

I read a I gave you references to a lot more scriptures than I read today, but I would encourage you to make sure that you go through and, and write those down and, and look them up for yourself.

Maybe write them out, put them on your refrigerator, on your mirror, or whatever you want until they get down on the inside use of the word like a prescription.
