Powerful God, Gentle saviour.
There are 4 types of people here tonight:
1)Born again accept & believe in the power of God to accomplish what ever he desires
2)B A but struggle accepting the power of God
3) A believer but no relationship with God
4) Sceptic who cant believe that God wants to touch people especially them.
Whether you believe or not tonight matters little, all I ask is that you keep open to God. Because if you have come here tonight with a need He will meet it in Jesus.
The Power of God is here tonight! What dose that mean exactly.
Hebrew word:
3027. yad, yawd; a prim. word; a hand (the open one [indicating power, means, direction, etc.], in distinction from H3709, the closed one); used (as noun,
So when you see Scriptures that say the Power of God was on:
Mose
Elija
David
The people of Israel
It means that every thing that is in Gods hand is available to see the situation through.
Exodus 9
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power(What is in my hand) that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
He has power also because he is who he is:
1369. gebuwrah, gheb-oo-raw’; fem. pass. part. from the same as H1368; force (lit. or fig.); by impl. valor, victory:--force, mastery, might, mighty (act,
What then is in Gods hand?
1) Creative power:
The creator of the universe:
Gen 1: In the beginning God
How did thing come into being: God said and it was:
That’s the type of God we serve here tonight.
2) Power over the elements
And He told Mose strike the water with your staff, and the Red sea parted>
He set a bush on fire yet it remained unconsumed:
He told the children of Isreal to walk around Jerico 7 times and blow the trumpet 7 times. And the walls came tumbling down. Jerico was one of the oldest cities around, it was regarded as being inpenertrable because of its size and width. But it came down because god is all powerful.
He turned battles, He raised up or put down kings .
He healed the Leprosy of Naaman the servant of the king of Aram.
Police have the power to direct traffic: (White gloves)
But God is all power and He holds all together.
New testament Dunamis:
1411. dunamis, doo’-nam-is; from G1410; force (lit. or fig.); spec. miraculous power (usually by impl. a miracle itself):--ability, abundance, meaning, might (-ily,
This Dunamis power of Jesus holds all things together:
Heb 1:1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Scientists have just mapped the DNA structure of human beings some 100,000 different genes making up the DNA structure have been classified and mapped. Jesus knows every one of them, He made them.
So if you have a problem with disease in your body tonight God knows how to fix it. He has the master blueprint.i
Tonight this God of Power wants to demonstrate His Love toward you.
And this is His Love:
God is all powerful: But He has chosen to restrict His power where you are concerned. He did this by giving Mankind a free will.
You see we are made totally in Gods image. With a will to choose.
Man choose sin:
We all sin> Romans 3:23.
But God in all his power did something very remarkable.
He took on our sin for us:
And as a result He took all our sin and sickness.
ISA:53
4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Your Sickness tonight has been taken by Jesus, its an established fact.
To help you understand just what God has done for you, think about this:
You have the power to create etc:
Tonight Jesus wants to demonstrate his Power and His Love for you.
Hairs of your head.
