NEW YEAR FAST - YES!

2 Corinthians 1:20
"For all the promises of God in Him are 'YES', and in Him, 'Amen'."

The Focus
Paul said in 2 Corinthians 1:20, "For all the promises of God in Him are 'YES', and in Him, 'Amen'." What we say Yes to will unlock what God can do in us and through us. My obedience to what He wants in my life will shape what I will become. This year, I want to be in the place and have the space to say Yes to the Lord, to His plan, and to His purpose. These next 14 days, I want to challenge you to say Yes to whatever God wants. Together, we will read 2 Corinthians 1-13 and look for ways Jesus’ followers were impacted by following him.

The Plan

  • You are about to read a book written by a man who suffered for the cause of Christ, a man who knew trouble and how to overcome it in victory. In 2 Corinthians, you’ll find a letter written by an apostle to a church that he planted—a church that needed a father’s advice. In many ways, this letter serves as an apostolic manual for the body of Christ, filled with supernatural encounters, glory, love, and truth. This book is full of spiritual encouragement and revelation!

    The church of Corinth had already received at least one prior letter from Paul. What we have in our New Testament as 1 Corinthians was Paul’s second letter, making 2 Corinthians his third. The church had received Paul’s rebuke in his prior letters, and now they were tender, open, and ready to receive all that their spiritual father had to impart. Although influenced by those who had claimed to be “super-apostles,” their hearts were bound in love with Paul and the grace of God that was upon him.

    The church today needs the truth and love from this anointed apostle! As you read, picture yourself in the congregation in Corinth, hearing the letter read publicly. Let its truth penetrate your heart and stir you, as a new creation, to a greater passion to follow Jesus. Here, you will find the wonderful secrets Paul learned about how to turn troubles into triumphs. May you find more than you expected as you read through 2 Corinthians. Enjoy! May you be challenged to say YES to the plan and purposes of God.
