The Power of God to Create

 

The Power of God to Create

 

The power of God is infinite, there are not limits to His power. But the most amazing aspect of God’s power is His power to create.

 

Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” The word create here means that God created out of nothing. There were no raw materials laying around that God used to create everything. There was nothing & He still created the heavens & the earth.

 

In Luke 1:26-38 Mary has an encounter with the angel Gabriel. He tells Mary that she will have a baby & that the baby will be the Messiah. Mary asks how this is possible since she is a virgin. In verse 35 Gabriel says, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy – the Son of God.” God again created a baby without the necessary human components.

 

So, what does God’s power to create mean for us in our daily lives?

 

Paul in Ephesians 1:21 says that Jesus is far above all rule & authority & power & dominion, & above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

 

Jesus is more powerful than any human ruler or any spiritual ruler. That means that He can provide us with security in this life & in our eternal life.

 

Raise the Roof & Remove the Walls is about experiencing God’s power that brings eternal security.

 

In 1 Corinthians 1:18 Paul says that the cross is the power of God to those who are being saved. God’s power means that He can turn what appears to be something bad into something good. God’s power makes it possible for the truly bad things that happen in my life to be, by God’s power, made good.

 

Raise the Roof & Remove the Walls is about the power of God turning the bad in our lives to good that benefits us & honors God.

 

Isaiah 40:29-31 says, “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

 

God’s power gives us strength & perseverance to live daily in obedience to God in a fallen world. The world wears people down, even followers of Jesus, but by God’s power we can walk the journey of life without wearing out or giving up.

 

Raise the Roof & Remove the Walls is about having our strength & faith renewed by God’s power.

 

God’s power is unlimited & He uses it for our good. We can experience His power by surrendering our lives to Jesus as Savior & Lord of our lives.

 

In God’s Power Raise the Roof & Remove the Walls.
