All Powerful ~ Elohim

Dec12

GOD is great and powerfulThis week we’re going to begin our series on the various names of God from the Hebraic standpoint. In most Biblical translations, we miss out on some great truths behind the meanings as the English language is quite different from the original Hebrew text. Moreover, we also need to understand that our New Testament derived from the first-century Greek language and uses Greek translations. So instead of Elohim, translations were derived from the Greek language where Elohim was replaced by the Greek word “Theos”, meaning God.

To have an understanding of Our Lord and Savior, it is important to know who He truly is and why we should be excited to follow Him. There are many in today’s society who believe God is a myth. There are some who believe in many gods with many ways to heaven. Political correctness has diminished the very foundation of the Biblical truth and what we “Christians” believe and stand for. There are many pastors who are teaching “feel good” messages to the masses but missing the very vibrant and real truth. People are hungry for the truth. They are hungry for God’s presence. They are hungry to feel God in their daily lives. So as we go through His various names and their meanings, it is important to realize what it means for you and why you can rest assured that God is real and with you this very moment.

Today, let’s take an inside look at God’s name of Elohim. Elohim is found 2602 in the Hebrew Bible. It stands for the One True God. It denotes majesty, honor, fullness…that He is God in the fullest sense of the word. He is God of gods who created everything from the beginning.

Genesis: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Deuteronomy 10:17 For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty…

The oldest Semitic word is EL. El means God. Its base meaning is strength or power. “El” is the Strong one…the Deity (God), the Honorable Master of all.

By being told that God is Elohim, it lets us know that He is the one true creator that through the power of His words and strength; His fullness came upon us and is with us every day. He was there in the beginning, He is with us now in all our daily tasks and He will be with us in the future. He knows everything from the beginning and knows exactly what you need, when you need and how to get it to you.

Psalm 91: 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Jeremiah 32: 38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

Psalm 45:6 Your throne, O God (O Elohim), is forever and forever.

Fear Be Gone

Nov14

Don't be afraidWhen you look around these days, everything seems to be going crazy. Terror in various places, countries on the brink of collapse, wars and rumor of wars, demonstrations, health epidemics, fires raging, volcanoes; just to name a few. It is very easy to become fearful or begin to wonder what is going to happen to you or your family.

Well…I have GREAT NEWS for you today!

YOU ARE PROTECTED BY ALMIGHTY GOD!

 “Evil can’t get close to you, harm can’t get through the door. He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go.” (Psalm 91:10-11)

When you feel overwhelmed, just claim this truth. When you feel fear creeping in, tell it to go for it has no place in your life. God has made it a point to protect you. There is absolutely no weapon that can be formed against you that God won’t handle on your behalf. God absolutely loves you and will do everything to protect you. Whether that is in your finances, your family, your business, your comings and goings…whatever “it” is that is trying to attack you…YOU ARE PROTECTED!

But does God stop there? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Fill our barns with great harvest, fill our fields with huge flocks; Protect us from invasion and exile – eliminate the crime in our streets.” (Psalm 144:13-14)

See, our God is so loving that He doesn’t just want to protect you from any evil…He wants to eliminate the crime and see you prosper in every area of your life. He wants you to be so blessed that you can’t help but be a blessing to someone else. He wants you blessed in the field, blessed in the city, blessed in your finances, blessed in your business, blessed in your family, blessed in your health…blessed…blessed…blessed!God is with you (2014_03_10 01_21_18 UTC)

So the next time you have a weak moment of doubt or uncertainty, claim God’s amazing truth. There is absolutely nothing that can happen to you for God is right there with you, every step of the way. He will never fail you and He will always know the best way to provide whatever “it” is you need; even before you know yourself. For He knows the end from the beginning.

SO WALK BOLDLY TODAY AND

PRAISE HIS MIGHTY NAME!

GOD IS BIG ENOUGH TO HANDLE ANYTHING THROWN YOUR WAY!

No Limitations

Nov7

TrustOver the past few weeks, we have learned how to let go and renew our minds. It has been important to re-emphasize how God sees us and how we should see ourselves. The Bible is very specific in showing us that God meets us right where we are; in the midst of our battles, our sins and seeks those who are in need of Him.

Today, we are taking it one step further. With the holidays fast approaching, we tend to get quite busy this time of year. It is a time where many tend to see only problems, lack and inabilities to make things better. We tend to think that we can’t, we don’t have enough skill or money, we can’t make a difference or things are never going to change.

However, we miss the key point. WE SERVE A HUGE GOD! Our God created the universe from darkness. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, all caring and a Master Physician to boot. So what in the world do we have to worry about?

There is absolutely nothing we can do to deserve God’s love. He loved us before we were even born. He created us in the womb. He knew everything that we would face in this world and already provided the answers before they even happened. He knows what will happen today, tomorrow and in the future. So, let go of all the things that are holding you back. Let go of anything that no longer serves you. God knows what you need, when you need it and how to get it to you! Trust and believe in Him. He truly has you covered! Period! There are no “if’s”, “ands”, or “buts” about it!

I don’t know about you but I want 2016 to be the most AMAZING YEAR that I ever could encounter. And, in order to do that, we need to be prepared and in the right mindset…

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LIMITATIONS WITH GOD!

Butterfly transformation

HE IS ALL WE NEED! See Him for who He is and know that He will bring the most wonderful year to you! There is absolutely nothing impossible to Him so quit stressing and learn to be FREE in God’s loving hands! He is the potter and will mold your life into something more incredible than you ever dreamed.

So, what are you waiting for?

Let go and allow GOD TO BE GOD!
