Most believers believe God to be an omnipotent or an all-powerful entity. By definition, God has certain innate capabilities and abilities that come with him being who he is.
“Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him” (Deuteronomy 4:35). “Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else” (Deuteronomy 4:39). “Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord” (Jeremiah 23:23-24). “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth” (Revelation 19:6).
Most believers understand that God is sovereign, that he has supreme authority and supreme power, and that he is able to operate totally independent of any part of his creation, which translates to him being omnipotent or all-powerful. God can do any and all things. It was by his word, his spoken word, that God create all things. God first said, “Let there be…” (Genesis 1:3) and that which he called came to be. God created the heavens and the earth by speaking them into existence, placing everything in its place. Yes that right. Scripture says,
“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm 33:6-9).
God spoke and the heavens and all the host thereof were created. By the breath of his mouth, God spoke and the earth was formed. It is by faith that we, who are believers; believe these things to be true and have accepted them as fact.
“By faith—by believing God—we know that the world and the stars—in fact, all things—were made at God’s command; and that they were all made from things that can’t be seen” (Hebrews 11:3 TLB).
Remember, faith is defined as trust in somebody or something, especially without logical proof. It is having trust in somebody that you consider worthwhile and truthful. It is also accepting that something exists when there is no physical proof of its existence or of its reality. Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22). “And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27). Jesus looked at them and said, With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26 NIV).
Jesus makes it very clear that those things that seem impossible with man are not impossible to God, for “with God all things are possible.” Faith in God makes all things possible. More importantly, faith in “the word of God” make all things possible.
“As the rain and snow come down from heaven and stay upon the ground to water the earth, and cause the grain to grow and to produce seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry, so also is my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It shall accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it” (Isaiah 55:10-11 TLB).
God says that his word will not return to him void. God says that his word will always produce fruit. God says that his word will accomplish all that he wants it to accomplish. And God says that his word will prosper everywhere he has sent it. Since God has sent us his word, then we need to repeat what God has already said. By repeating what God has already said, we return his word back to him. By returning God’s word back to him, we know that it does not return to him void, but accomplishes, prospers, and always produces fruit. When we repeat God’s word, then we need to make sure that we do just that, repeat his word and not add to what he has already stated because once altered, they be not his word anymore. God’s word has the power to create, if you could only believe. As for us, we choose to believe, we choose to believe in the power of his word, and we choose to place our faith in God, “for with God nothing shall be impossible.”
