Amen, Hallelujah and Maranatha

What Is Amen?
In Hebrew, it means 'let it be so'. It is a plea to God for a response to prayer,
one way of saying that it will be done by God, a 'Yes' to God's vision and a statement of confidence in God.

What Is Hallelujah and Alleluia?
Hallelujah in Hebrew means "Praise be to God". In Latin form, it is known as alleluia. It's not supposed to stop at our lips, the Christian should be an alleluia from head to foot! We are to praise God with lips, with body, with heart, and with deed.


What Is Maranatha ?
Maranatha means "our Lord comes," or "Lord, come quickly". This phrase is how some early Christians greeted each other. The use comes from Revelation 22:20, where it is used as a plea or prayer.
