#111 - Attributes of God - Omnipotence - 86 Seconds Video Devotional - Gary Wilkerson

For the past year and a half I've been working on a book on the attributes of God, the working title I have for the book is just simply called, 'God' because I want people to know God. Like Jeremiah says, 'you can boast and knowing God.'

So this series is about knowing him and the series is about the attributes of God. Today we're going to talk about the omnipotence of God. And the reason I brought up the fact that I'm writing a book on this is because on most of these different attributes -- his love, his grace, his mercy, his wisdom, his wrath - I'm writing about 10 to 12 pages.

On the omnipotence of God I've already written over 60 pages. It's not because it's a more important attribute, but because it feeds into every other attribute. He is -- God is love because he has the power to love. Sometimes we want to love, but we don't have the power to do it. God knows everything because he has the power to know everything. What I'm saying to you is omnipotence is so important to understand because it fuels everything else about God. Everything that he does, every will that he has. Every decision that he makes, he has the power to back it up.

You and I could will to do a thing but we may not have the power to do it. Where God is absolute, when he has the power, when he has the will, he will bring forth the power to accomplish every single one of his purposes. That's why it's called omni potent. Potent meaning power; omni meaning all. He is all power. He powers the sun, the stars, the moon, and if he were to stop supplying his power to his creation, everything would fall apart. The Bible says he holds all these things together by his power. God is a wonderful god and he has power to change your life. He has power to heal -- power to meet every single need that you have.
