God Almighty, is El Shaddai in Hebrew, meaning invincible power of God. He is all, the most, complete might. Omnipotent meaning all powerful. God the creator is the source of all power. Any power you see comes from Him. Nothing is more powerful than Him. Power never diminishes in Him. He is all power all the time. All the power in all the universe is within Him. When God does something like create a flower or a star in the sky, He doesn’t need more energy to do one or the other. In Him, He can do anything with the same amount of effort as anything else. He can create things out of nothing.
As AW Tozer says, in his book Knowledge of the Holy, “all the power required to do all that He wills to do lies in undiminished fulness in His own infinite being.” So if He is an infinite being than His power if infinite. He has the same amount of power in the past, the same amount of power today, and He’ll have the same amount of power in the future. It is hard to comprehend because usually when we think of energy, it has to be recharged. He doesn’t recharge and He doesn’t have to draw on anything else to recharge.
Rev 4:8, In John's vision the heavenly creatures say, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” He has the same amount of power always. Who was in the past, who is today and who will be in the future. It is eternal power, it doesn’t fade, and it is unlimited.
Heb 1:3 says, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His Powerful word.” Scriptures say that Jesus is The Word and all things were made through Him. If all things were made through Him too then there is power through Jesus Christ. You cannot create the world without power. He would talk to a storm, command it to be still, and it was immediately.
In Matt 26:53 Jesus said, “I can call on my Father and He will at once put at my disposal more than 12 legions of angels.” Jesus had all this power with Him. He could do whatever He wanted to do on the earth but He submitted to the Father. Even though He had all this power, He didn’t use it. Because He didn’t come with all His power to destroy man because of their sins, He came with all His power to save man because of their sins.
God has so much intense power that He could wipe it all away with the blink of an eye as easily as He created it. Yet, God is so tender. He said a bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick He won’t blow out. He is incredibly tender but He is also there with all the power you need to do anything that you need to do.
The bible says we will see the Son of God coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. That will be awesome to see when He comes and returns. But the greatest power of all is seen in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The power that raised Christ from the dead is that He never died again. He was raised to life and because of His resurrection, we all live too.
Rom 8:11 says, “if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dear will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.” God has not given you a spirit of fear but of power, of love, and of a sound mind so if the Holy Spirit is living inside of you, this power that raised Christ from the dead lives inside of you. It is the very presence of God.
How powerful is the God you believe in? His power has not diminished over time and it never will. If you want to feel secure and safe, then put your life in the hands of this big almighty personal God. I believe in a God who can do anything for me and give me all the strength I need to do to live out this life. He possesses absolute limitless power. His power is divine. His power is only used for His will and His will is good.
Living a Radical Life for Jesus means believing that God is Almighty
