The Lord is Transcendent Jehovah Gabbah Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,Neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.9 .For as the heavens are higher than the earth,So are my ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts than your thoughts.

To begin with brothers and sisters, Christian friends, Well wishers and Saints of God, as we glint, gleam, and gaze at this glorious text we find some prominent features in the word of God that we shall “never overlook”. First and foremost God in His ubiquitous nature is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. There is none like Him. God is Superior to anything anyone and/or any place. And we believe that there is one and only one true and living God An Infinite intelligent Spirit whose name is Jehovah. He’s the Maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth inexpressibly glorious in His holiness. That in the unity of the God head there is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. and That they are equal in every divine perfection and execute distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

And In our theme text Isaiah we find the writer saying that God is Transcendent. Nobody through out the ages have been able to fully understand the breath depth or the volume of who God really is. And Drs. and PhDs have stretched their intellect to fully define who God is.. And what interesting is how many of the top scholars of today and of yester years tried to prove the none existence of God. And the more they try to disporve God the more relevant and and actual and factual they make God appear. because if there is a design then there is a designer If there is a creation then there must be a Creator and listen, I could have saved them a lot of research, a lot of inquiry, and lot of speculation. i would have simply said, God is always is, God always has been is, and god always will be is.

Yeah 3x Because Moses was the chosen leader to be the deliverer of the enslaved Hebrew people. And Moses spent 40 years as a prince, 40 more years as a pauper herding dumb sheep, and finally Moses spent the last 40 years of his life as a prophet for the nation. God told Moses go tell pharaoh to let my people go. And Moses said in essence “Lord whom shall I say sent me?” And the bible says in Exodus 3:13-14 And God told Moses tell old Pharaoh that I AM THAT I AM sent you. And so when you translate this particular phrase it literally means that God is saying I AM WHO I AM Which means in Hebrew Hayah . Everybody say Hayah which means to be or to Exist . Meaning the Self Existing One meaning that God has always been here. And the name Yahweh is found over 6,800 times x. So it’s got to be important. Listen, God is Transcendent and your blessing is when you have the wisdom, knowledge, and the understanding that Jehovah Gabahh is not on your level!!! Let’s read the text again and the word will tell us exactly that. In Isaiah 55: 8 The Lord God Jehovah Gabahh says For my thoughts are not your thoughts,Neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth So are my ways higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts.

Think about that when you’re doing what you do in this life. When we consider that God Knows everything about anything that knowable that’s able to be known, then we should approach life with the Almighty in mind.

That’s why the word of God said in Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Everything you need God has it: Such as your food, your fitness, your fashion, your finances, your faith and your future. God has it because God is Transcendent. Jehovah Gabahh is high above your thoughts His ways are far beyond our ways. God is even above earth and Heaven because He made it all.

In the story of Job, there was a point that Job went to complaining about his situation and I imagine Job saying “Lord you gave me all this wealth beyond anybody in the land and I know I said the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away blessed be the Name of The Lord. And Lord I know my wife told me to curse you and die but I told her she must be crazy. And Lord I know you killed all ten of my children and I didn’t complain. And Lord you put all these boils all over my body and I sat down in the ashes and only the dogs came to be my friend and lick the sores on my body and I didn’t complain. and Then Lord when you sent my three supposed to be best friends they acted like enemies and I said with friends like that you don’t need no enemies. And Lord I was overwhelmed at all of this and I wanted to complain and die and Lord you spoke out against me and said “Job hush up! because where were you when I made it all” In other words Job I’m Transcendent. Job I can do what I want when I want to whom ever I want because I’m Transcendent (Sovereign) And it behooves all of us to be cognizant to stay in our place with God.

Tell your neighbor: God is Transcendent so stay in your place.

God is not on our finite limited level. God is infinite and has no limits. And the disciples of Jesus got a chance to see Jesus not only Transcendent but also Trans-formative. The story goes In Matthew 17 that Jesus went up into the mountain with Peter James, and John. and He would often times go off into a quiet place because of the stresses of ministry. And so on this particular occasion Jesus is up in the mountains with His disciples and suddenly Elijah and Moses showed up and they were talking to Jesus. Wait nah 3x Elijah been dead hundreds of years and Moses nearly a 1,000 years and they are transformed into a transcendent form and are visible to Peter, James, and John. I don’t know about you but I’d be scared to death 2x. But that’s not all, Jesus now is transformed into and translusive spirit. Jesus is glowing and He’s illuminating and radiating “yes indeed” And instead of falling on their faces Peter jumps up and says Lord it’s good for us to be here today. Let’s build three altars. One you Elijah One for Moses and One for you Jesus… And God Almighty Jehovah Gabahh the Transcendent God who thoughts are above our thoughts who ways are above our ways Began to thunder and lightining and Matthew 17:5 5 While peter yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And the bible says that the the Mist went away and Elijah went away and Moses went away and Only Jesus was left standing before His disciples. Because God is Jehovah Gabahh, The Transcendent God, whose thoughts are not your thoughts,Neither are your ways His ways, saith the LORD. 9.For as the heavens are higher than the earth,So are His ways higher than your ways, And His thoughts than your thoughts.

The essence of the message today is that it’s essential for us to realize that we serve a very big God. And sometimes we minimize the significance, the importance and the profound nature of Who God really is. God is great and greatly to be praised. That’s why the Psalmist says in Psalms 150 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord, praise ye the Lord.

Let me share this with you, I found out that up in heaven, Everybody that’s up there, is bowing and rising saying Holy, Holy, Holy to God and what really blew my mind was, that every time the angels and the saints who have gone one before us go down saying Holy, Holy, Holy they go down and come up for a different reason EVERY TIME. And for eons and ages to come “if we make it to heaven we’ll be rising and bowing saying Holy Holy Holy and it will be for something different every time too And somebody said Hallelujah!!!. because Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 .For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts than your thoughts.

I’m just in awe over my God. We serve an Awesome God. What a Mighty god we serve. He is the King of Kings He is the Lord of Lord His name is Jesu Jesus Jesus OH He is the King...
