For almost everyone, the word AMEN, simply means an ending to a prayer, but that was not the intent at all in that word.
People do not comprehend that prayers are not talking with God alone or asking for things. If one observes Solomon in his prayers in Proverbial Wisdom, that it was to call upon the Name of the Lord.
That mystery is lost in translation, but the meaning of God's Name is all powerful as when you say God's Name, it is an activation sequence which is as moving as flipping a switch on an electric transit and setting all things in motion which can not be taken back.
Saying God's Name, activates God into that will you are implementing, and this is why you should never use God's Name in vain, meaning in uttering it in stupid exclamations or even evil things, because God is activated into that will your mouth is professing, empowering that will.
The same holds true in AMEN, which is translated in terms, SO BE IT, IT WILL BE DONE.
Amen in context is the FAITH that the prayer you just prayed in activating God will be carried out by God without stop.
I do not believe there is one Christian Prayer which is ever said NO to in God. If you observe Paul in requesting that thorn be removed from His side, it was God saying MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEE......that was not a NO. That was instead a qualification that Paul in being the person he was, needed something to bind down his dynamics or he would have probably evolved into a Solomon who was set for an example of Wisdom in God which turns into human folly.
Understand this revelation in Paul in wanting things, including a wife, would not have been capable of handling a wife, because she would have Solomonized him.
That is why when God gives Spouses of His creation to His Servants, those Servants in the Lord are not flawed in that aspect. You must understand this as it overshadows Paul and it is featured too great in the works he was Inspired to, as some do have the Solomon weakness, but others like Mary, Ruth, Esther, Hannah, were not in the least hindered no more than Jacob, Abraham, Isaac or Peter, in which it is the case that they were all enhanced by a Christian Spouse in the Amen.
That Amen was the completion of their Faith, as Christ is the Author and Finisher of our Faith.
Words are empowerment, and they accomplish things in God. A Prayer is a Marriage as both are alive and both are accomplished in God.
One asks God in His Name, the Life is the Prayer and Amen is the Chosen Spouse.
There are vast abuses in Prayer and Marriage in people not paying attention or misusing the sacredness of it all. Saying your Spouses Name is as Sacred as saying God's Name. The body of Prayer and Marriage is as empowering as the IT IS SO in the AMEN in God or our Spouse.
There are reasons in this from God and People, Christ and the Temple, and Prayer and Marriage, all being the same Sacred expression God Instituted for the blessing of this Spiritual Family.
This your example in a complete Doctrine which Paul could not fulfill, because only Christ can fulfill this in His Office of Fidelity, a thing Solomon failed at in casting his prayers onto too many words in a concubine chant.
Understand the mystery of this in the Amen.
Pray in the Lord's Prayer of empowerment and be fulfilled in the marriage of Words Sacred in Vow of Prayer with God.
