What does Amen mean?

in #jesus8 years ago (edited)

I have spent a lot of my life not knowing what the word I said at the end of my prayer actually meant. Check out this video I put together detailing the biblical definition of the word "Amen."

Really, really well done... and helpful!

This is important to know, because too many of us use "amen" as a way of "hanging up the phone" so we can go back to our own "private" thoughts. I've been trying to break that habit.

We should never hang up on God. Leave the receiver off the hook and stay in constant communication with Him! Our thoughts are never private anyway, so we shouldn't fool ourselves with the false impression that "amen" means "over and out".

Once I have watched the above video a few more times, maybe it will be safe to go back to saying "amen" for all the right reasons.

Great thoughts @stan. I totally agree, constant communication or "praying without ceasing" is the ideal we are shooting for!

Thanks for sharing. I replied with a comment to your video on YT, could you reply there and verify between accounts please? Thanks!

Just did! Thanks!

I see it, thank you :)
