God's power is unlimited, creative, effortless, and self-generating. He creates out of nothing through the power within himself without strain. God's omnipotence means he can do all things according to his sovereign will and glory.
Fundamentos do relacionamento com Deus – obediência Almy Alves
O documento discute a importância da obediência como manifestação visível da fé em Deus. Aponta que a obediência é mais importante do que sacrifícios ou rituais, e que a desobediência traz maldições.

Abijah claimed God was with Judah and urged Israel not to fight against God, as they would not succeed. Judah defeated Israel in battle, killing 400,000 troops.
Lição 8 - Josué lidera uma geração conquistadora e cheia de féÉder Tomé
A geração liderada por Josué era guerreira, conquistadora e cheia de fé. Sob sua liderança, Josué seguiu a estratégia divina para conquistar a fortificada cidade de Jericó, que envolvia rodear a cidade durante sete dias e gritar quando os sacerdotes tocassem as trombetas no sétimo dia, fazendo com que os muros viessem abaixo milagrosamente. Apesar disso, a geração não foi perfeita e sucumbiu diante da cidade de Ai por

The document provides an overview of wisdom literature and poetry in the Old Testament. It discusses the main wisdom books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. It explains that wisdom literature delves into questions about pain, God, wisdom, life, and love rather than advancing the story of Israel. It also describes the different genres of wisdom literature like proverbs, riddles, and discussions. Additionally, it gives background on the book of Job and examines questions it raises about the problem of suffering and God's justice.

The book of Isaiah contains prophecies of both judgment and consolation. It is divided into two main sections - the first (chapters 1-39) contains denunciations of Israel's sins and prophecies of coming judgment in the form of exile. The second section (chapters 40-66) provides consolation through prophecies of Israel's future restoration and redemption through the coming Messiah. Key events and themes include Isaiah's call and vision of God, prophecies concerning Christ's virgin birth and kingdom, and predictions of Babylon's fall and Israel's return from exile over 150 years later under Cyrus.
The document discusses how carrying an "orphan spirit" can prevent us from seeing our future and destiny according to God's vision. It says an orphan spirit gives a sense of abandonment, lack of hope, and living only to meet needs in the present. But through the Holy Spirit living in us, we are not orphans, and can see with "eyes of our heart" what God has freely given. Breaking from an orphan mindset allows us to imagine the Father's vision as His children rather than feeling like beggars.
El documento describe las diferentes autoridades que Dios ha establecido y a las que los creyentes deben someterse, incluyendo la autoridad de los padres sobre la familia, el gobierno sobre la sociedad, los líderes de la iglesia sobre la congregación, y los jefes sobre el trabajo. Explica que aunque toda autoridad viene de Dios, si una autoridad delegada ordena algo contrario a la Palabra de Dios, no debe ser obedecida.
O documento compara as fases do crescimento espiritual com as fases do desenvolvimento físico de um bebê, listando quatro ações essenciais para cada uma: (1) Comer a Palavra de Deus assim como bebês precisam se alimentar; (2) Orar da mesma forma que bebês aprendem a falar; (3) Obedecer a Deus dando passos de fé como bebês aprendem a andar; (4) Testemunhar sobre Cristo assim como bebês começam a se comunicar.
1) A intercessão é orar em favor de outros, colocando-se no lugar deles para lutar em oração até a vitória.
2) A guerra espiritual envolve confrontar poderes demoníacos para resgatar pessoas de seu domínio através da expulsão de demônios e rompimento de laços espirituais.
3) Há três níveis de intercessão - básica, profética e apostólica - e três níveis de guerra espiritual - solo, ocultismo e estratégico.
2 Corintios 8 (1ª. Parte) La gracia de dar.pdfHumberto Rendon
En este capítulo el apóstol Pablo nos habla de la gracia, un concepto que debemos atender de acuerdo al sentido bíblico fuera de todo concepto creado por dogmas religiosos para que tengamos la oportunidad de aprender y entender el sentido correcto de la enseñanza del apóstol. En ese sentido es como Pablo se va a referir a la generosidad de los creyentes que han entendido el sentido correcto de los bienes materiales que pueden ser de bendición para otros creyentes a los que Pablo se refiere como “santos”.
De manera que Pablo una vez más se refiere a las contribuciones a las que hizo referencia en el capítulo 16 de la primera carta a los corintios y como veremos en el análisis de este capítulo, después de haber contemplado todos los aspectos que involucran al tema del consuelo que Dios prometió a su pueblo a través de los profetas, promesa que fue cumplida a través de Yeshúa, una vez más pablo conecta la misericordia de Dios manifestada en ese consuelo con el testimonio manifiesto en hechos tangibles que refleja que en verdad estamos siendo transformados en nuestra mente y en nuestro corazón en uno de los temas más controvertidos, el aspecto económico, ya que Pablo al abordar el tema de la ayuda a los pobres al mismo tiempo está probando la condición espiritual en que se encontraban los corintios pues como ya lo entendimos en estudios anteriores, la ayuda a los pobres del pueblo de Dios se encuentra vinculada directamente con el corazón de Dios conforme a la doctrina de Yeshúa.
De manera que en los capítulos 8 y 9 de esta segunda carta a los corintios Pablo habla de la actitud de contribuir económicamente y apoyar a los hermanos en la fe y lo interesante es que Pablo utiliza el concepto “gracia” enfocando correctamente el concepto para aplicarlo a la actitud de dar por amor en Jesucristo, así que resulta muy interesante poder entender que la influencia espiritual que tiene un apersona departe de Dios es determinante para que se pueda considerar que la ayuda que alguien puede proveer a los pobres del pueblo no proviene de atributos personales de los creyentes, sino que incluso esa ayuda que se otorga, por cuanto es por gracia, también viene de Dios, en cuyo caso, quien recibe ésa ayuda debe dar gracias a Dios primeramente y después a los hermanos que disponen su corazón y su espíritu para que Dios obre en sus corazones.
Paul wrote the book of Romans from prison in 57-58 AD to the church in Rome. He explains that salvation is through faith in Christ alone, not works, and is available to both Jews and Gentiles. The book addresses issues in the Roman church related to divisions between Jews and Gentiles over the role of the Mosaic law. It provides a systematic theology on sin, justification by faith, sanctification, Israel's past and future, and other doctrines to prepare the Romans for Paul's planned visit.

Seus amigos tentaram convencê-lo que estava sofrendo por causa de pecados, mas Jó manteve sua inocência. Deus então falou diretamente com Jó e restaurou tudo o que ele havia perdido, mostrando que mesmo nos piores momentos devemos manter a fé.

Este documento describe el plan de Satanás para engañar y dominar a la humanidad. Asigna "gobernadores de las tinieblas" a cada nación, persona y niño para ponerlos en esclavitud, con la intención de robar, matar y destruir.

Every natural thing is merely a manifestation of something spiritual. This set of slides explores the spirit realm and guidance for the spiritual warfare required of all born-again believers.
The document discusses the divine origin and absolute truthfulness of God's word. It notes that the Bible was written by humans under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, making it the very words of God. As God is truth, his word contained in the Bible is also entirely true. The process of God giving his word to Jesus, Jesus giving it to disciples, and the disciples writing it down resulted in Scripture that is completely reliable.
The document discusses the omniscience of God. It provides quotes and explanations about God's perfect and comprehensive knowledge. Some key points made are:
1. God knows instantly and intuitively all things actual and potential, past, present and future. He does not need to learn or be taught.
2. God's knowledge is comprehensive - no detail is overlooked and he knows all things visible and invisible. He knows what could have happened in alternative scenarios.
3. God's knowledge is also personal - he is aware of people's smallest actions and deepest thoughts. He understands people fully.
4. God's omniscience serves his eternal purposes. He uses his foreknowledge in relation to salvation, having

Paul addresses the council in Athens, noting their religious devotion as evidenced by their many shrines. He references an altar dedicated to an "unknown God" and explains that this God is the one he is there to tell them about. He describes this God as the creator of all things, including humanity, and that He is not contained by temples or in need of anything from humanity. Paul asserts that this God gives life and sustains all people and nations.
God is completely self-sufficient and independent. He created all things but does not depend on creation. God needs nothing from his creation and is not influenced by outside factors. He is all-powerful and answers to no one. We as creation are entirely dependent on God for our existence, purpose, and well-being.
God's wisdom is shown through his ability to use his attributes in perfect harmony to accomplish his predetermined purposes and plans. His wisdom is unique as he alone can perfectly interrelate his attributes. God always chooses the best goals and means to achieve those goals. He orchestrates all things, from creation to salvation, through his wisdom to glorify himself and fulfill his eternal plan.
The document discusses the glory of God through a sermon given on Tuesday 22 November 2011. It defines glory and explores how God's glory is manifested in his nature, in history through events like the Exodus, and ultimately through Jesus Christ. It also notes that God's glory was revealed in the Tabernacle and Temple, and now is revealed through the Church.
1. God's goodness is the standard by which all else is judged as good or not. Anything not sourced in God's nature and activity cannot truly be called good.
2. God's goodness is expressed through his attributes like patience, grace, mercy and faithfulness. He provides for humanity's physical and spiritual needs.
3. God demonstrates his goodness through earthly provision of resources, showing benevolence to all, and special provision and blessings for his people who live with gratitude.
The document discusses the omnipresence of God. It defines omnipresence as God's complete essence being fully present in all places at all times. It explores how God's omnipresence means there are no limitations on him in terms of space, flesh, or involvement in creation. God is intimately involved in the world and his presence cannot be avoided anywhere on earth or beyond.
The document discusses several attributes of God, including that:
1) God is self-sufficient and does not depend on anything outside of himself. He created the world out of his own pleasure and independence, not out of necessity.
2) As the creator, God is responsible for and reveals himself through his creation, yet he is also independent of his creation and needs nothing from it.
3) In contrast, humanity and creation are completely dependent on God for their existence, purpose, and functioning. People cannot escape God's authority as their creator and reference point.
The document discusses the concept of God's sovereignty, making these key points:
1) God has absolute rule and control over all creation. He can do whatever he pleases and nothing can oppose him or thwart his purposes.
2) Believing in God's sovereignty means recognizing that he decides all things and nothing happens outside of his will or control. However, humans still make meaningful choices that God can work through.
3) God's sovereignty has practical importance for believers, as it means he can be trusted completely and worshipped as the supreme authority over all.
The document discusses ways to defeat temptation based on biblical principles. It recommends (1) refocusing your attention elsewhere when tempted, (2) revealing struggles to godly friends who can support and pray for you, and (3) resisting the devil by relying on God's strength and using the Bible as a weapon through Scripture. The overall message is that there is always a way to overcome temptation through focusing on God rather than the temptation itself.
The document discusses the nature of God based on several Bible passages. It makes 3 key points:
1. God is transcendent - He is wholly other and distinct from his creation. His thoughts and ways are not like humans. He is incomparable to any other deity.
2. The Bible prohibits making images to represent God, as it could lead to idolatry. Worship should be directed only to God without any physical representations.
3. Understanding God's true nature, as revealed in scripture, is important to have the right relationship with Him and not be misled by erroneous conceptions of who He is.
The document describes the key attributes of God as revealed in the Bible. It discusses God's independence (aseity), eternity, goodness by loving and tolerating humanity, holiness as being pure and undefiled, consistency (immutability), unlimited nature (infinity), establishment of justice, ability to do whatever He wills (omnipotence), presence everywhere (omnipresence), perfect knowledge of all things (omniscience), and supremacy over all creation (sovereignty). It concludes that God is the one and only deity worthy of worship, praise, and adoration due to His perfect and loving character.
The document is a collection of passages from the Bible and other Christian writings focused on Jesus Christ. It discusses how Christ is supreme over all other spiritual forces and philosophies, and should be the central focus of one's life rather than substituting other things like rituals, traditions, or asceticism. It emphasizes that Christ alone is enough, and lists some of his attributes like being the bread of life, light of the world, and conqueror of sin and death.
The document discusses the attribute of holiness as it pertains to God. It describes holiness as God being separate from sin and devoted to seeking his own honor. It provides passages from the Bible to illustrate that God's holiness is his central attribute, separates him from creation, and demands that he judge sin. It also discusses how God's holiness affects how we can approach and live before him.
This document discusses Jesus Christ and his role in saving humanity from sin. It references several Bible verses describing how Jesus came to save sinners, took on humanity's sins, suffered and died to bring people to God, and allows believers to be made righteous. The final lines express gratitude to Jesus for paying the debt of sin in full and washing believers clean through his sacrifice.
1. Grace refers to the undeserved favor and mercy that God freely gives to believers through Jesus Christ. It is not something that is earned or deserved.
2. Most Christians do not fully understand grace and try to earn salvation through good works rather than relying on God's power and mercy. Living by grace means relying on the Holy Spirit's strength rather than one's own.
3. God's grace is more than sufficient for every need and gives believers everything they require to live obedient, victorious lives.
This document discusses the nature of God's love based on a sermon or teaching. It makes several key points:
1) God's love is the joyful overflow of his will and glory. His love is rooted in his own perfect attributes and pursuit of glorifying himself.
2) God's love is manifest supremely in the provision of salvation through Jesus Christ. It is visibly expressed in action, always sacrificial through Christ's death, and aimed at the benefit of others.
3) God's love ensures the welfare of his children, overlooking nothing in their lives. But humans may not always feel God's love if they are not living to glorify him in every area.

This document lists and defines 24 attributes of God. It describes God as being omnipotent, omniscient, self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, infinite, wise, holy, transcendent, good, just, omnipresent, merciful, gracious, loving, sovereign, faithful, and true. The attributes are defined through references to various Bible passages from books such as Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, Romans, John, and Revelation.
This document provides an overview of the basic contents and origins of the Bible. It discusses that the Bible is a collection of 66 books accepted as divinely inspired. It was written over 1500 years by around 40 authors from various backgrounds. The events primarily took place in the Middle East. Prophecies, historical accuracy, and scientific statements within the Bible provide evidence of its supernatural origin. The document outlines many of the human authors and approximate dates they wrote different books. It also summarizes some of the fulfilled prophecies as further proof of the Bible's divine authorship.
This document discusses the importance of making disciples who make disciples based on the models of Jesus and Paul. It notes that while many churches believe in and teach discipleship, few actually implement disciple-making processes like intentional relationships and accountability. The document cites examples of churches that grew when they shifted from a program-based to a relationship-based discipleship approach and created clear spiritual pathways expecting life transformation. It encourages pastors to invest in discipling relationships above all other activities.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
Jesus expected a process of change, growth and development in the life of his followers. Many writers suggest a three or four stage process. A four stage process is outlined here, along with personal challenge / application.
Disciple-Making, according to Greg Ogden requires at least tow major factors: Internalisation and Multiplication. This presentation adds to his ideas with some scripture and illustrative ideas challenging followers of Christ to become, and make, disciples in his image.
Name someone...who has impacted your life.
Disiple-making is a deliberate act requiring discipline and dedication
“Discipleship is all about living the life together rather than just one structured meeting each week” Chan
This document provides a summary of the New Testament story in four hours. It is divided into three time periods in the life of Jesus: 1) His first 30 years before ministry, 2) His three years of public ministry in and around Israel, and 3) His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The first section focuses on Jesus' birth and early life, including key details from the nativity story presented in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.
This document provides an overview and summary of key events and people in the Old Testament from Eden to Israel entering the Promised Land. It discusses 4 main moves: 1) From Eden to Israel; 2) From Israel to Egypt; 3) 40 years in the wilderness; 4) Entering the Promised Land. Key points covered include Creation, the Fall, Noah, Abraham, Joseph in Egypt, Moses and the Exodus, receiving the 10 Commandments at Mt. Sinai, and Joshua leading the people into Canaan.
The document provides guidance on discipleship and disciple-making. It begins by defining a disciple as someone who is following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and committed to Jesus' mission. It then discusses the importance of discipleship, noting that disciples are meant to be world-changers and that one-on-one discipleship is the most effective method, replicating itself over time. The document concludes by outlining models of discipleship, including sharing the gospel, connecting with others, helping them minister, and ultimately making them disciples who can repeat the process.
The document summarizes the biblical story of Babel in Genesis 11, where all humanity spoke one language but decided to build a tower to make themselves famous. God responded by confusing their languages, scattering them across the earth and enforcing his command to spread out. It also discusses the origins of different ethnicities and races. The next section introduces Abraham, called at age 75 to leave Haran and given promises by God of land, descendants and blessing through his offspring. The covenant with Abraham sets the agenda for the rest of the Bible by being fulfilled through Christ.
The document outlines key events in the biblical story of humanity's origins and early history:
1. God creates the universe and places the first man and woman in the Garden of Eden.
2. Adam and Eve rebel against God and are banished from the Garden, introducing sin and brokenness into the world.
3. As sin and death spread, God brings a flood to wipe out most of humanity while saving Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal on an ark.
This document provides an overview of the upcoming "The Old Testament Story" learning and development series starting on September 2nd. It outlines the 4 main movements of the Old Testament story from Eden to Israel, Israel in the promised land, Israel to exile and return. Key details include the main people, events, and sections covered within the 11 most important books that make up 95% of the Old Testament narrative.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

The pervasiveness of Lying in today's World.pptxniwres
In our interconnected world, lies weave through the fabric of society like hidden threads. We encounter them in politics, media, personal relationships, and even within ourselves. The prevalence of deception raises profound questions about truth, trust, and the human condition.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.

5. The
Omnipotence
of God
Thursday 17 February 2011
6. Om·nip·o·tent [om-nip-uh-tuhnt]
–adjective
1. almighty or infinite in power, as
God.
2.having very great or unlimited
authority or power.
Thursday 17 February 2011
7. For us this means there is nothing that
God cannot do.
This is not simply ‘raw power’ but...
“God’s omnipotence includes the
exercise of his choice to use his
unlimited power to reflect his divine
glory and accomplish his sovereign
will.”
Evans
Thursday 17 February 2011
8. God’s omnipotence has a
moral base - he does not
use power simply to impress
- he uses power to
accomplish his perfect will.
In the Gospel of Thomas
there is a story of Jesus
bringing clay birds to life -
this is totally out of keeping
with the way our omnipotent
God uses his all surpassing
power.
Thursday 17 February 2011
9. In fact the Gospel of Thomas
describes the life of the child
Jesus, with fanciful, and
sometimes malevolent,
supernatural events,
comparable to the
deceiving / tricking nature of
the god-child in many Greek
myths. This act also
attributed to Jesus in
Qur'an 5:110 although in the
Quran it is not as a child.
Thursday 17 February 2011
10. 1. God’s Power is Unlimited
God is infinite - and his power
is unlimited.
Isaiah 40:28
Do you not know? Have you
not heard? The LORD is the
everlasting God, the Creator
of the ends of the earth. He
will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one
can fathom.
Thursday 17 February 2011
11. 1. God’s Power is Unlimited
God is infinite - and his power
Psalm 62:11
is unlimited.
One thing God has spoken,
Isaiah 40:28
two things I have

can fathom.
Thursday 17 February 2011
12. 1.a. Creative Power
All that was made or ever will be
made came from God, Psalm
89:11,The heavens are yours, and
yours also the earth; you founded
the world and all that is in it.
God has created things and parts of
the universe which we have not
even discovered yet.
Evans suggests that men have used
science to take the place of God
and of his creative power - they will
not give credit to God.
Thursday 17 February 2011
13. Evans goes on to suggest that
true science is really about
observing the consistency of God
- men discover something give it a
law and accredit it to nature - all
they are doing is observing the
consistency of God.
Evans suggests that he can lift a
one ton weight - but only if you
change his environment from Mariusz
earth to the moon. He suggests
Pudzianowski
we have done the same with God,
made him in our own environment Has won the title of
and therefore limited his power. world’s strongest man
God belongs to a different realm!
on at least 3 occasions
Thursday 17 February 2011
14. 1.b. “Out of Nothing” Power
Ex nihilo means “out of
nothing”
God’s power is so limitless
that he creates without raw
materials.
Evans comments that we
never create anything in this
way, nor has science ever
been able to achieve it in the
laboratory.
Thursday 17 February 2011
15. 1.b. “Out of Nothing” Power
Romans 4:17 - as it is

17. 1.c. Effortless Power
No straining, no
groaning, God does not
get weary or tired - see
Isaiah 40:28
Thursday 17 February 2011
18. 1.d. Self Generating Power
God never needs anything
outside of himself to generate or
sustain his power - he generates
the power for all his actions within
himself.
Psalm 33:6, 9
By the word of the LORD the
heavens were made, their starry
host by the breath of his
mouth...For he spoke, and it
came to be; he commanded, and
it stood firm.
Thursday 17 February 2011
19. God shows this in the conception
of Jesus - Mary is a virgin - yet the
power of God comes upon her
and what was impossible is made
possible - Luke 1:26ff - v.37, For
nothing will be impossible with
God." (New NIV: For no word from
God will ever fail.”)
Mark 10:17-27 - a rich man
comes to Jesus and goes away
sad - how can the rich enter the

Thursday 17 February 2011
22. 2. God’s Omnipotence is
Broad in Scope
Jeremiah 32:17
“Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have
made the heavens and the earth
by your great power and
outstretched arm. Nothing is too
hard for you.
God created the universe -
anything else is well within his
capability - he has power over
nature, that is why we often
(mistakenly)equate nature with
God.
Thursday 17 February 2011
23. 2. a. Power over Nature
Plenty of examples: Pharaoh -
Sodom & Gomorrah - Noah -
Jesus!
God not only creates - he
sustains nature as well - Heb 1:3
- The Son is the radiance of God’s
glory and the exact representation
of his being, sustaining all things
by his powerful word.
Sustaining includes gravity, the
right speed of rotation, the right
angle of tilt, the sun being the
right distance...from earth
Thursday 17 February 2011
24. 2. b. Power to give Life
Psalm 139 is full of the omni -
presence, niscience and potence
of God
v.13-14 - For you created my
inmost being; you knit me together
in my mother’s womb. I praise you
because I am fearfully and

27. 2. c. Power over the Enemy
Jesus had power over demons
- Matt 8:28-34 -
Two men out of their mind,
violent - had been trying to
destroy the men - they did
destroy the pigs - but the men
were healed and set free

28. 2. d. Power over Illness
There are so many examples of
this!
[One might ask why so many
people doubt God’s healing
power today - and seem set on
disproving it?]
Luke 9:11 - but the crowds
learned about it and followed
him. He welcomed them and
spoke to them about the
kingdom of God, and healed
those who needed healing.
Thursday 17 February 2011
29. 2. e. Power over Circumstances
Jeremiah 32 tells of God’s
power over circumstances -
Jerusalem is about to be
destroyed and overrun - yet
God tells Jeremiah to buy a
field.
This did not make sense to
Jeremiah - though he sees God
is all powerful, v. 27 - and then
god tells him he will bring the
Israelites back to the land - so it
was not a pointless deed but
one showing God had power.

30. 2. f. Power over Death
Every person who has ever lived
on the planet will be raised from
the dead - for the judgement
before Christ.
Jesus commanded Lazarus to
come out of the tomb
A doctor might say a person is
dead - but the word of Christ will
bring them back to life, either in
this life or the next.

31. 3. God’s Omnipotence is
Purposeful
You do not get all you want not
because God cannot do it, but
because God uses his power for his
purposes - he does what is best to
magnify himself and bring glory to his
name.
Consider Abram and Sarah - an 84
year old woman gives birth, why?
Because in God’s plan he was raising
up a nation - born again in 1948. Can
God make 84 y.o. Women get
pregnant - yes - does he - not often!

33. 4. God’s Omnipotence is
Personal
Eph 3:19-20
and to know this love that
surpasses knowledge—that you
may be filled to the measure of all
the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do
immeasurably more than all we ask
or imagine, according to his
power that is at work within us,
In biblical terms omnipotence = he

Thursday 17 February 2011
34. 4.a. He’s able to save
Heb 7:25 - ...he is able to save
completely those who come to
God through him, because he
always lives to intercede for them.
2 Tim 1:12 - he is able to guard
what I have entrusted to him until
that day.
Evans comments: You cannot lose
your salvation!
Our salvation is stable in the hands
of God, secure in him.
Thursday 17 February 2011
35. 4.b. He’s able to meet needs
2 Cor 9:8
And God is able to bless
you abundantly, so that
in all things at all times,
having all that you need,
you will abound in every
good work.

36. 4.c. He’s able to heal
Matt 9:27-29
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed
him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to
him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able
to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said,“According to
your faith let it be done to you”;

Thursday 17 February 2011
38. 4.d. He’s able to deliver
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
- Daniel 3:17
If we are thrown into the blazing
furnace, the God we serve is able to
deliver us from it, and he will deliver
us from Your Majesty’s hand.
Daniel - in ch. 6 - “...has your God,
whom you serve continually, been
able to rescue you from the lions?”
Daniel answered, “...My God sent
his angel, and he shut the mouths of
the lions.”

40. Four things to know
1. God is looking for a
fully committed
heart in order to show
his power - 2 Chron
16:9
For the eyes of the
LORD range
throughout the earth
to strengthen those
whose hearts are fully
committed to him.
Thursday 17 February 2011
41. 2. You must have faith - Mk 9:22-23
“It has often thrown him into fire or water
to kill him. But if you can do anything,
take pity on us and help us.”“‘If you
can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is
possible for one who believes.”
3. Be Humble - 1 Peter 5:5-6 -
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility
toward one another, because, “God
opposes the proud but shows favor to
the humble.”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under
God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you
up in due time.
Thursday 17 February 2011
42. 4. Wait upon the Lord - Isa 40:28-31

43. Responding to God’s
Omnipotence
1. Are you trying too hard and
not letting God manifest his
power - is your walk too much
about self and not enough
about the power of God?
2. When did you last see God
move in power - why did it
happen, what were the
important factors in it?
Thursday 17 February 2011
44. 3. Are their situations or
people that you have given
up on as impossible? It is
time to repent and in a new
spirit of faith and prayer to
believe in the omnipotent
power of God.
4.Read Isaiah 40:28-31 and
personalise it.
