Bible Study GODS OMNIPOTENCE

Fight the good fight of faith

God is without boundaries and has unlimited power and authority. He is limitless in all he has ever done, ever will do or ever speak as all of creation is subject to his omnipotence. We can read of God’s creation in Genesis chapter one that he is the creative word as he only had to speak the universe into existence and it was done. Genesis 17:1, 2 he is expressed by his name Almighty God before Abraham who spoke with great authority and power as he told Abraham to walk worthy before him and made his covenant between himself, Abraham and all generations to come in Genesis 12.

God is in control of nations and nature through out history as we can clearly see that his word says do not touch mine anointed in Psalms 105:15 as God’s covenant is to all generations that will walk and be made perfect before him. God has control of all the covenant promises he has made with his people and that no one can interfere with what God has given them. A good example of this is when God gave Israel the land of Canaan that was rich with milk and honey that they should never depart from that land. Many have tried to come against Gods Promised Land and God will always put the enemy in our hands with his unlimited power and authority, which is also given to us through grace to stand against the enemy.

God’s omnipotence is expressed through his son Christ Jesus whom gave his life as a ransom so we could have eternal life with the Father, John 3:16; Romans 10:9, 10. God’s infinite power is shown through the Holy Spirit that guides us, comforts us, protects us and teaches us all things of Gods word, John 14:26.

Through doubt, which is lack of faith, we at times limit God and place boundaries around him that shuts off his power and authority in our lives especially when we face trials and tribulations we allow ourselves to get caught up in and see no way out, which opens the door for Satan to bring fear into our thoughts. James 1:17 says every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from God whom is no variableness, but we try to change what God is even when he is unchangeable and we can not fathom with our carnal mind how God can change every situation in our life.

God only wants the best for us and will always give us his best in his timing. When we wait on Gods timing then his perfection is fulfilled in us which brings glory and honor to his name. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Teach us Lord of your omnipotence that we may walk before you in all your fullness.
 
What a wonderful theme for a thread, God's Power and Authority. Each morning, I have my Bible study in the Old Covenant and New Covenant (Testaments). Just this morning, I finished Isaiah and desired to go back to Genesis and re-study the early history of mankind and Israel. I have learned so much about what pleases our Lord and what He is against. In my quest for holiness and to be faithful to Christ's righteousness, these studies are important to me.

Wow!! You speak of God's Power, I just studied the first two Chapters of Genesis and I thought of your thread when I read Gen. 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Power and Authority? Oh my!!

1Chronicles 29:11 "Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all." Five great words that picture our Mighty God, Jehovah.

Your thread reminds me, where can we go in the Scriptures that in some way in most of the Chapters, there's the Power or Authority of God? In my New Covenant study, 1 Peter Chapter 4, "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."There my friend is the power of God extended to his servants. Praise the Name of our Lord Jesus the Son of God.
 
Thank you Chopper for your great wisdom and understanding of that mighty power and authority we have in Christ. Many do not understand that God gives us His power and authority to be more than conquerors in every situation we face in this life. Many would rather moan and groan about their life instead of using that power and authority through the Holy Spirit to rise above their problems. Colossians 3:1 says if we are risen with Christ then seek those things from above. There is nothing to hard for God to handle if we just submit to that power and authority.

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Romans 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
