Our Mighty God
Not only is He our counselor, He is the mighty God! The
same God that led Moses and the children of Israel out of Egypt
by parting the waters of the mighty Red Sea is still on the throne
today. Hebrews 13:8 says, Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and to day, and for ever. He still saves today, heals today, and
delivers today! When Jesus paid the price on Calvary for our sins,
He declared, ...It is finished... (John 19:30). He finished His
mission; it was completed. His death purchased salvation, healing
and victory for all. John 19:17-18 says, And he bearing his cross
went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is
called in the Hebrew Golgotha (Calvary): Where they crucified
him, and two other with him, on either side one, and
Jesus in the midst.
He took the penalty for the sins of not only
those standing at the foot of the cross, but also for the sins of all
people in all ages. Isaiah 53:4-6 states: Surely he hath borne
our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded
for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on
him the iniquity of us all. He took our sorrows so we need not
be stricken with them. He made a way for us to have peace in our
souls. He took stripes on His back so that we do not have to
suffer with sickness. He took our hell so we do not have to take it.
If we only realized the mighty work He did on the cross! Truly he
is a mighty God! He has already done so much for us and continues
to show Himself strong on behalf of all who trust Him. If we
are living beneath our privileges as Christians, it is not the Lord’s
fault. He has made provision for us, but we must receive it and
walk in it.
A great many of our problems exist because we do not
have faith in God. Either we do not trust Him, or we limit Him.
The Lord gave my husband Bud the name for this ministry one
day while we were in prayer. CHRIST UNLIMITED really expresses
the nature of our God! We are not to limit Him. He is a
big God! He is more than able. He can do anything! We should
not limit Him to our preconceived ideas. Can He only do certain
kinds of miracles, while unable to do others? No, our God is unlimited.
He not only did miracles, He can do them today.
Although Jesus is not walking our streets today, He has returned
in the person of the Holy Spirit, and is still able to perform
the same miracles He did when He walked this earth in the flesh.
He has not changed; man is the one who has limited Him. The
Israelites were guilty of limiting God while they were in the wilderness,
and we know the things they suffered because of it. (Psalm
78:41, Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited
the Holy One of Israel.)
If God speaks something to your heart and it seems bigger
than your mind can conceive, remember, we have a Mighty God!
Nothing is too big, neither is anything too small for Him. If your
big toe is hurting, He is interested. Now, I know someone will
say, “I would not bother God with my big toe.” However, God is
big enough that it does not “bother” Him when we share our small
problems with Him. After all, He took time to number the hairs of
our head, and He takes note when even a sparrow falls to the
ground. (Matthew 10:29-30: Art not two sparrows sold for a
farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground with31
out your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.)
Our God is a Mighty God who encompasses the small
and the large, for in Him things are sizeless. He is an infinite God.
He is omnipresent (present in all places at the same time), omniscient
(He knows all things), and omnipotent (He has unlimited
power and authority). What a mighty God!!
