Trying to Wrap One’s Head Around the Concept of God’s UNLIMITED Power

wrap one's head around

“God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.”
–Psalm 62:11

wrap (one’s) head around (something)

To comprehend something that one considers challenging, confusing, or a foreign concept.

IF the reader has a few spare moments, he MAY want to spend them contemplating the power of God.

The UNLIMITED power of God.

This particular line of thinking and examination may lead to hours of discovery, speculation and/or revelation. IN FACT, the reader may end up with a whole HEAD full of information.

IF one is a committed NONbeliever, then this is a relatively SHORT line of inquiry since one does not believe God exists (let alone His UNLIMITED power).

The church folk are so used to having a great many of their prayers go UNANSWERED.  They become such creatures of habit over this NONanswering of NONprayers that they do not believe God spends ANY of His UNLIMITED power answering those requests.

God spends his power on answering the requests of FOLLOWERS–not pretenders.

“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”
–1JOHN 3:22

“And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
–Matthew 21:22

“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
–Jeremiah 29:12-13

So the LORD DOES expend a little (which is all that is needed) power answering the prayers of those who trust Him with their WHOLE HEART.

Yes, God answers the prayers of all who love and fear Him–which does NOT include those who scoff at the notion of a powerful God.

“The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.”
–Proverbs 15:29

As odd as it may seem, ALL believers were once NONbelievers.

ALL are saved eternally by God’s great and enduring grace and mercy, which is activated by a belief in Jesus Christ (and who knows if God Himself doesn’t activate this belief? Perhaps this belief in Jesus Christ is part of God’s great mercy–and power?).

ANYHOW, it takes a LOT of time and effort to overcome the force of habit built up over the years as a NONbeliever.  That habit is that God does NOT answer his people’s prayers–or answers such a small percentage of them as to make the ritual practically negligible.  Never mind that thousands of tares BELIEVE mistakenly that they are believers.

FOLLOWERS of God have a difficult time wrapping their heads around God’s UNLIMITED power.

The very concept of UNLIMITED power is a hard idea to grasp because  access to that type of power is on a VERY limited basis.

It is a VERY hard idea to grasp that God is willing to unlock His UNLIMITED power for those who SINCERELY follow Him.

ACCEPTING that God’s power is UNLIMITED and has NO boundaries is the first step toward worshiping God as He desires.

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
–John 4:24

(A little something for the average reader to keep in mind as the end times gear up.)

DOES the reader have his prayers answered on a regular basis?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
