Amen, and amen!

Brothers and Sisters:

Have you given any thought about the word amen? The Lord revealed to me that there is power in the word amen. Amen is a word that expresses our faith.

amen (dictionary)
Used at the end of a prayer or a statement to express assent or approval.

amenable (thesaurus)
1. Willing to carry out the wishes of others; 2. Legally obligated; and 3. Ready and willing to receive favorably.

amen is a hebrew word meaning "so be it", "truth", "faithfulness" sometimes it was used in the begining of a statement, in the new testament where you see Jesus say "verily" it is the hebrew word amen, and at the end of a statement it usually reads "amen"

Strongs hebrew dictionary and referenced Cyclopedia of biblical, theological and ecclesiastical literature (McClintock and Strong)
It is a very powerful word, especially at the end of a prayer. You are saying "so be it"

Jiggyfly:

I learned some of what you posted in Bible college (years ago). I did not know that verily is the Hebrew word amen.

Thank you for taking time to share this with me. I am sincerely blessed.

Your Sister in Christ,
Dr. Bon Vie

Yes, jiggyfly, it is interesting that "verily-affirmation, surely, truly" and "amen-truly, so be it, sure" do have the same meanings in both Hebrew and Greek. Amen is powerful; however, I had never thought about how/where the words were placed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Amen! LOL

Yes, I love that word. Its a beautiful way to put a proper end to a prayer with assurance, belief, trust, faith.
