OUR GOD IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN ALL WE ASK OR IMAGINE
********************************************************
1.PARDON
"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD."Though your sins are like scarlet,they shall be as white as snow;though they are red as crimson,they shall be like wool. " Isaiah 1 : 18
"Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." Isaiah 55:7
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:7-9
Our God shows abundant mercy on us and forgives all our sins . His mercy towards us is far greater than we can ever ask or imagine . He loves us and cleanses us from all unrighteousness through the blood of His son Jesus Christ. We must come to Him to be cleansed from all our sins.
2.PHYSICAL HEALING
"who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases," Psalms 103:3
"When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases." Matthew 8:16-17
"Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them." Matthew 4:23-24
Our God is a healer and heals us from all our diseases . He took our infirmities and carried our diseases . We can come to Him and be healed from our sicknesses and diseases. He is able to do much more than all we can ask or imagine .
3.PROVISION
"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."Philippians 4:19
"I will bless her with abundant provisions;her poor will I satisfy with food. " Psalm 132:15
Our God is a provider and is able to meet our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus. We should look to Him in times of need and receive His abundant provision . We need not be discouraged by looking at our lack of resources because the Lord has promised to meet all our needs according to His riches .
4.PROTECTION
"The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; " Psalm 121:7
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10
Our God is a protector and is able to keep us from all harm . In this world of danger and destruction we should always depend on the Lord to protect us. Although we have an enemy called satan who is always seeking to steal and kill and destroy ,we need not fear because we have the Lord who is there to protect us and grant us abundant life.
5.PEACE
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
" Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." I Peter 5:7
Our God gives peace to our hearts . We can cast all our worries and cares and anxieties on Him because He cares for us . The Lord does not want us to worry about anything. Instead He wants us to present all our requests to Him through prayer and petition with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God which is beyond human understanding will fill our hearts .
6.PROMOTION
"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. " Psalms 113: 7-8
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. " Isaiah 55 :8-9
Our God lifts us up from the dust and sets us on high . We should look to the Lord to promote us and lift us higher. The world may try to keep us down and prevent us from climbing higher . But our God is determined to bless us and lift us higher and higher . We must commit our lives into His hand.
7.POWER
"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, " Ephesians 1:18-19
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. " Genesis 50:20
Our God is powerful . He displays His power to help His people. He parted the Red Sea to deliver His people from the Egyptian army. We are not alone in this world when we face diificulties and trials . God’s power is available to work for us and deliver us . The power of God can even turn the evil that is done to harm us and turn it into good . We must rely on God’s power to work on our behalf in every situation that we face in our life.
