All knowing
To the power of the Lord, there is no limit. He possesses great strength and capability. That’s why he as God is omnipotent, meaning there is no limit to his potency and dominion. He holds everything, even the earth by his hand and control all things, permits things to happen and if he allows, he can limit certain things.
God also knows all, has full cognizance and erudition of everything. He is knowledgeable of everything and you cannot hide anything from him that’s why he is all and in all and has the key to the secrets of truth. He knows you before you were born and call you by your name. You cannot conceal anything from him for he is omniscient being all knowing or has full knowledge of everything.
With full occurrence, God also exist even before all things are created. He opened the gates of heaven and commanded light and gives the vitality to living creatures. He invigorates the weakling and gives strength to the spirit. He renews every recess and makes people vivacious and spirited, lively and restored to health. He exists in all and renews every strength and has full control of life and restores everyone by his will, that’s why he is omnipresent being eternal.
With all these attributes of God, he becomes the lover of people even those who are sinful as he has loved his Son and enjoys the presence of His spirit hovering in the face of the waters in the creation and in the right time was manifested in human form giving birth to Christ. He loves His only begotten Son Jesus who lives by His spirit, which is the Holy Ghost.
As a master planner God lives in the image of his creation. In Genesis 1:26-27 it says, ‘Then God said, “Let us make man in our image after our own likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground.” So God created man in his image; in his divine image he created him; male and female he created them.’
So even man in the very beginning possesses divine existence before they sinned and came short of the glory of God. In man’s struggle for perfection, as God becomes man, man then becomes of God and is possessed with the spirit of God who is the Holy Spirit. In Jeremiah 1:5 the Lord says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.”
Even to our bone marrow God knows us and makes us his own, and desires every good thing that we may own this, and enjoy the fruits of our labor even tolerates us to do what we want of our life praying that we may hearken his guidance and that we may return to him as we are created for such purpose since the beginning, that we may be entwined with God thinking things that are sentient and godly, and things that could make our body holy.
That’s why we need to preserve our being man, that though we know we are tempted, God gives us only the temptation that we can endure, that we may learn how to overcome it knowing to our hearts that we are sinful and by our struggle to live by our spirit, we became of the spirit and not of the flesh, that we may know even with our hearts that we belong to God.
Who do you say I am? God says unto us. And speaking to Moses from the burning bush came audible the answer to that question: “I am the God of Abraham, I am the God of Isaac, I am the God of Jacob…I AM WHO AM.” The I AM of John 8:58 is Jesus. Thus he says, “ Amen, amen, I say to you before Abraham came to be, I AM.” He is the God we desire, he is the God we want as part of us. He is our Creator. Likewise it is for his love that he gave to us his only begotten Son.
Then arises the question: How can he give to us his only begotten Son if Jesus himself is the Father? Can His self become His Son? Of course the Father is not the Son or the Holy Spirit, they being distinct from each other. But the name Jesus is both the name of the Father and the Son, even the Holy Spirit as He is the father of the Son. The name of the Father’s Son has power, as it is the power he himself possesses. The scripture says, and who knows the name of His Son? Likewise in another verse it says, “The Lord said to my Lord.” This is because the Father and Jesus share the same spirit that is the Holy Ghost. And the Father has sent Jesus and His Spirit. God being omnipresent can be present even in more than three deities yet exists as One.
As you are born that you may please God, be knowable that the Spirit can live in you through the Holy Ghost with us possessing power giving us knowledge of things. The Spirit that can live in you can grant you eternal life. If he may, he can give you all things, but it is his desire to make you humble that he may embrace you to his heart.
If you want to come to God, he is always there to accept you; if you want to return to him, long before he desires your presence. By his power you can be healed; by his strength you can possess vitality. He knows all even your deepest secrets, and he desires to make you whole. Why not come to him and enjoy his presence.
