POWER BELONGS TO GOD (2)

POWER BELONGS TO GOD

Psalm 110:3 (NIV) — 3 Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb.

Psalm 62:11 (NIV) — 11 One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God,

Once; twice are used to give emphasis to what God is saying.

Strength belongs to God, this shows God’s power to protect or save

This is a good reason why we should make God our confidence, because he is a God of infinite power, mercy, and righteousness

God has spoken it, and I have heard it, once, yea, twice.

He has spoken it, and I have heard once, and again and again, through what he has done in my life

And I can testify that Power belongs to God because of what i have seen Him do

I have have heard over and over that power belongs to God throughout the Old Testament scriptures, how He started from creation

To Adam and Eve

Abraham

Moses

The Children of Israel

The prophets

The miraculous birth of Jesus, His Crucifixion, burial and resurrection

I have seen over and over again, in the written Word of God , that Power and authority and Wisdom and glory belongs to Him

Revelation 7:12 (NIV) — 12 saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”

1 Chronicles 29:11 (NIV) — 11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendour, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all

Though God spoke it but once, I heard it twice, heard it diligently, not only with my outward ears, but with my soul and mind.

” To some God speaks twice and they will not hear once; but to others he speaks but once, and they hear twice.

Now what is it which is thus spoken and thus heard?

That the God with whom we have to do is unlimited and infinite in power.

Power belongs to God; he is almighty, and can do every thing; with him nothing is impossible.

All the powers of all the creatures are derived from him, depend upon him, and are used by him as he pleases.

His is the power, and we must agree and accept that He has the Power

He is able to do everything for which we trust Him.

This is a good reason why we should trust in him at all times and live in a constant dependence upon him;

That he is a God of infinite goodness.

God is not only the greatest, but the best,.

Mercy is with him

Psalm 130:4 (NIV) — 4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

Psalm 130:7 (NIV) — 7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.

He is merciful in a way peculiar to himself;

He is the Father of mercies

2 Corinthians 1:3 (NIV) — 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

This is a further reason why we should trust in him

That he never did, nor ever will do, any wrong to any of his creatures:

For you repay to every man according to his work.

No service done him shall go unrewarded, nor any affront given him unpunished, unless it be repented of.

By this it appears that power and mercy belong to him.

If he were not a God of power, there are sinners that would be too great to be punished.

And if he were not a God of mercy there are services that would be too worthless to be rewarded.

This is why those who are oppressed and persecuted can appeal to Him and receive justice

He will be sure to judge according to truth, in giving redress to the injured and avenging them on those that have been injurious to them

1 Kings 8:32 (NIV) — 32 then hear from heaven and act. Judge between your servants, condemning the guilty by bringing down on their heads what they have done, and vindicating the innocent by treating them in accordance with their innocence.

. Let those therefore that are wronged commit their cause to him and trust to him to plead it.

Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Revelation 1:19 (NIV) — 19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.

Psalm 59:17 (NIV) — 17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.

Job 33:14 (NIV) — 14 For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it.

Job 40:5 (NIV) — 5 I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.”

Psalm 59:9 (NIV) — 9 You are my strength, I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress,

Psalm 59:17 (NIV) — 17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.
