Our
God is greater. Greater than any of our weaknesses. God is greater
than any addiction, any hold that the devil has on a person. God is
greater than any power you believe you have, or believe someone else
has over you. God is all powerful. His strength, His love, His
faithfulness, His grace, His mercy, His righteousness is above all.
Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.
Our
God is stronger. Stronger than any superhero, able to be in more than
two places at the same time, and still aid us in our troubles and
struggles. God's strength is supreme. His love never fails: that's
strong love. His mercy endures forever: that's strong mercy. His
lovingkindness is to all generations: that's strong lovingkindness.
His grace covers all sins: that's strong grace. His righteousness is
upon all believers: that's strong righteousness. He never leaves us,
nor forsakes us: that's strong nearness. Time is not a restraint over
God; He is every where at the same time, any time.
Our
God is higher. Higher than any other god you acknowledge or worship
or bow your head to or put first in your life. God is a jealous God
and desires all of your love to be given to Him. The first
commandment on the list is just that: “You shall have no other gods
before Me”. And the second declares that no graven images, no
statues of anything in heaven, in earth or beneath the earth, shall
be made and worshiped. There is no god like our God. There is none
like Him. God is to be loved with all of our hearts, all of our soul
and all of our mind. His thoughts are higher and greater than ours,
and He knows what we are thinking; He knows when our minds are not on
Him, when our hearts are not right in Him. God is God and there is no
other god.
The
Word of God was placed in Mary's womb via The Holy Spirit resting
upon her. The Word of God became flesh, a small baby boy born in a
stable, whose birth was foretold by the prophets hundreds of years
before He was born. The Word of God is God's only begotten Son Jesus
Christ. Our God did that.
His
birth was foretold, His death was foretold, His resurrection was
foretold. And, also, His journeys to this earth have been foretold.
Now, it has been several hundred years since He was here. As the
disbelief was then, it is greater now and the world is more evil. The
next time He returns to this world will be to remove His Bride and
The Holy Spirit, until such time as He returns and destroys the
wickedness upon the face of the earth. Our God will do this.
Our
God is greater, stronger and higher than any thing you hold onto in
your beliefs, your faiths. Our God is The God of The Holy Bible. He
is The God of The Old Testament, the old covenant under which men
lived and righteousness was difficult to obtain, but still worth
reaching. He is The God of The New Testament, the new covenant of
grace under which we now live, but must first come to God and
acknowledge that God Is and that Jesus Christ is His only Begotten
Son, Who died on the cross, rose from the dead and is ascended into
heaven, where He is seated at God's right hand, interceding on behalf
of His people.
But
not every person is God's people. Not every one who says, “I am a
Christian” is a Christian. Those who follow other gods are not
God's people. Those who participate in other religious ceremonies and
rituals, honoring other gods, idols, are not God's people. God's
people are those who believe God's Word. And what do we know now
about God's Word? God's Word is Jesus Christ. If you do not believe
Jesus Christ is God's Son and that He died for you and walked out of
the grave for you, then you are not a Christian and you do not belong
to God.
Therefore,
if you are not God's children, God's people, then you are not under
God's umbrella of grace and mercy and lovingkindness. You are outside
of God's realm. You need to be inside with God as your God and your
King. All those who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord
before they die, will never live with God in His home.
I
do not want you to be outside God's realm of glory. I want you to
know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. I want you to be
with me and my God in heaven after this life is over. But wanting you
to be with me is not enough. You have to want Jesus Christ as your
Lord and Savior. You have to want to be loved by Him and love Him in
return. You have to decide now before it's too late and the decision
is moot. Once we die there is no coming back to change your mind.
I
share God and Jesus with you because I love you. I love you so much,
I don't want you to die without Him. When you choose Jesus Christ as Lord of your life and Savior of your soul, you are choosing an eternal relationship with God's only begotten Son, not a religion. The Bible says that true religion is to take care of the widows and the fatherless. Making sure your heart and your soul are right with God is not religion, it's relationship.
A strong relationship requires spending time in that person's presence and sharing your thoughts and heart with that person. In this case, the person is Jesus Christ. Real Christians spend so much time with their Lord and Savior, that Jesus can be seen in their faces, their eyes, their actions and heard in their words. Christians are people who are Christ-like in their behavior and lifestyles. Christians love to go to church. Christians study their Bible every day and apply what they read to their lives. Christians joyfully give of their time, themselves and their finances. Christians share. Christians love. Christians get stronger every time they read and apply God's Word to their lives, to our lives.
God is able to overcome whatever it is that is holding you back from believing in His Word. Nothing is greater or stronger or higher than our God. Great is His Name, and greatly to be praise is He.
