Here is my insight into the power of God. God created not just this planet, but the entire universe. He orchestrated the movement of the atom. He designed the perimeters for how the wings of a hummingbird would work. He established each location of every star within the cosmos for His meaning and glory.
Now why do I make this point? With the Bible we see the sun stop to move in the sky. So that meant this planet stopped rotating and moving through its orbit about the sun. He turned the Nile waters into blood. Now many will say no that was caused by a volcano up river. Well who made the volcano? Who caused it to erupt? God. He can control how this planet behaves. God the creator can control anything and everything. Even to the point of placing words into someone’s mind.
2 Timothy 3:16 – All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
“is given by inspiration of God” – which means divinely breathed in.
Now why not just hand a book to a man and say here read this and do what it says? This would defeat our purpose as His creation. He instilled into the human race free will. The ability to choose, be it for good or bad, unfortunately due to free will and by the rebellion of Adam and Eve when they ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge. They gave all of us the ability to see and even desire that which is evil through a selfish and lustful desire within all that are human.
Mark 7: 20 – And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
This is why Jesus came to walk amongst us to allow all willing to surrender once again unto God and in so doing be able to in some degree come to understand God’s plan and allow us to be touch by the divine breath and thus learn of God’s desire for us to return unto Him.
Yet there are those that will laugh at all that I have just written, again this is due to free will. They have no real concept of God. They cannot get their heads about a being so powerful and yet so subtle that he would wait over a thousand years to make Himself seen unto all. Through His patience all that are willing to acknowledge His very existence and say He is Lord is all that remains to be done. Yet many do not wish this to be true. They wish God to be just a mere man that cannot place ideas into people’s heads. That cannot cause a star to spark into existence and then cease to shine. They wish God to be like them.
Romans 1: 18 – For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
So due to this they think that the word of God can be changed to fit their meanings, their definitions, of what is right and what is wrong and so glorify that which is evil and call that which is Holy bad.
Isaiah 5:20 – Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
2 Timothy 3:3 – Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
What is good is that he gave unto humanity free will. It is not yet too late to change your heart, your thoughts, and your concept of reality. He will still welcome you into His arms through His Son our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. All you need do is accept Him and turn from your sins to never return to them. For that which is dead shall remain dead and that which Christ calls alive is alive. Forever and ever. AMEN
