“The Spirit of God hath made me,
and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” Job 33:4 -- “Behold, happy is the man whom
God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:” Job 5:17
From the Pastor Study: We
have seen in Scripture that God fulfills His Will to us. He Promised a Redeemer and Jesus became our
Saviour. A Mighty God created us, He made the Heavens and the earth, He is above
all and in all! “There are diversities
of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. And the
manifestation of the Spirit is given to every one to profit withal.” [I Cor.
12:6-7] -- Because we have a Mighty God!
As we pursue the Almighty God in Scripture it is awesome to see His Power and
Promise. He dwelt with His people in the
Old Testament and yet His dealings continue to meet the needs of His people now
in the season of the New Testament, a time in which we live! There were wars
and rumors of wars, multiple wars as God moved His people through the pages of
the Old Testament. And today the rumors continue. But we have a Mighty God who
is for Justice, and Truth! I love this Passage of Scripture that I ran across
in this Message: Gen 49:24 “His bow
abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of
the Mighty God of Jacob; from thence is
the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel:” Awesome to see Jesus as the “Shepherd
Stone!” And in the Old Testament. In
Jesus we have a “Mighty God!” Let us remember that while God is Mighty
in our behalf, He also is the Judge of all that we are. The Book of Revelation
speaks a lot about this Mighty God as we see the end approaching. Revelation
reveals a picture of this Holy God: [4:1-5]
John beheld Him … “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened
in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet
talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which
must be hereafter. Immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a Throne was
set in heaven, and One sat on the Throne. He that sat was to look upon like a Jasper
and a Sardine stone: and there was a Rainbow round about the Throne, in sight
like unto an Emerald …This would be the Mighty God of Israel! And what
followed is a Promise unto all generations: There was a sea of glass mingled
with fire: and there stood the victorious ones standing on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God. A voice came out of the altar and said, “Even so, Lord
God Almighty, True and Righteous are Thy Judgments! There was no temple,
for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple! The Elders
proclaimed: “We give Thee Thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art and
was and is to come; because Thou hast taken to Thee Thy Great Power, and have Reigned!”
Loving You, Pastor
