Say Yes to the Promise

Hope Unlimited Church

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 MSG

Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.

Key #1 - God has a PROMISE even in your PRISON

Jeremiah 32:6-9 NLT

At that time the Lord sent me a message. He said, 7 “Your cousin Hanamel son of Shallum will come and say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else.’”

8 Then, just as the Lord had said he would, my cousin Hanamel came and visited me in the prison. He said, “Please buy my field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else, so buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that the message I had heard was from the Lord.

9 So I bought the field at Anathoth, paying Hanamel seventeen pieces of silver for it.

Jeremiah 32:15 NLT

“For this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Someday people will again own property here in this land and will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”

Key #2 - There is still More ground to be taken

Joshua 13:1 NLT

When Joshua was an old man, the Lord said to him, “You are growing old, and much land remains to be conquered.

Matthew 9:29 NIV

“According to your faith let it be done to you”

Key #3 - It’s time to say YES Again!
