Three GOD traits

 

Isaiah 40:25

King James Version

25 To whom then will ye liken me, 

or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.


How much do you know about GOD?

Do you believe in Him?

What have you been taught about Him?

What is your personal experience of Him?

I'm not Catholic now, but my past schools taught me something important, and I'm grateful for that:

GOD is omnipresent, 

omniscient, 

and omnipotent.


That means:

GOD is everywhere -- omnipresent.

GOD is all-knowing -- omniscient.

GOD is all-powerful -- omnipotent.


That made me in awe of GOD, early on.

But I had not really developed a relationship with GOD then.

Apart from being childlike with Him, and praying as a child would.

I prayed if I felt I was in danger.

I'd been "attacked" numerous times in my dreams.

I'd pray directly to Him, and would just say, "Please help me, GOD!".

RIGHT away, He'd save me.

Such was His power.

And I wasn't even born again yet.

I've always looked to GOD as the "FATHER".


When He made me born again, He led me to Scripture.

That's when I really got to know Him.

And marveled at the treasures the Bible revealed.

Of His love, power, might, glory, mercy, and patience.

Scripture taught me these verses today.

Showing GOD's three TRAITS:


GOD is Omnipresent.

Psalm 139:7-10

King James Version

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? 

or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: 

if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, 

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, 

and thy right hand shall hold me.


GOD is Omniscient.

1 John 3:20

King James Version

20 For if our heart condemn us, 

God is greater than our heart, 

and knoweth all things.


GOD is Omnipotent.

Revelation 1:8

King James Version

8 I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the ending, 

saith the Lord, 

which is, 

and which was, 

and which is to come, 

the Almighty.


There are many more verses that speak of GOD's astounding traits.

We've written about them through these blogs.

All these acknowledge His glory:

The MAGNIFICENCE and MAJESTY of GOD

EVERYTHING belongs to GOD

GOD's power over nations

When GOD shouts

 

1 Thessalonians 4:16

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:


We've talked much about the Rapture.

We've also written about GOD's VOICE.

Wherein:

Ezekiel 43:2

King James Version

2 And, behold, 

the glory of the God of Israel came 

from the way of the east: 

and his voice was like a noise of many waters: 

and the earth shined with his glory.


Bible versions translate that as:


like the roar of a huge torrent

like the sound of a mighty flood

like the sound of rushing water

as loud as ocean waves

like the sound of the sea

like a noise of great waters

like the roar of the sea

like the roar of mighty waters

like the roar of rushing water

like the roar of floodwaters

like the sound of a mighty torrent of waters

thundered like a great waterfall


We also know JESUS' voice in the end times.

Revelation 1:10

King James Version

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, 

and heard behind me a great voice, 

as of a trumpet,


All that describes GOD's voice.

What about if He shouts?

Can you imagine how the skies would reverberate?

The whole world will hear this.

It will reach every corner of the world.

It will reach every faithful.

Romans 1:16

King James Version

16 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.


The very voice, and sounds, they've been longing to hear.

Hearing, and seeing JESUS up in the clouds.

And being changed, bodily, that they may meet Him up there.

And how unbelievers will tremble, in fear.

GOD's shout would signal the dead to meet JESUS in the air.

And the rest of the living to do the same.

Mark 13:32-33

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, 

watch and pray: 

for ye know not when the time is.


After that, there's no more turning back.

We must all be part of the Rapture.

We would not want to experience the Tribulation to follow.

That's the task given me.

To tell you of the imminence of the Rapture.

It could happen any moment.

That's why it's all preparation now.

GLORY be to GOD!

JESUS as LIGHT

 

Matthew 4:16-17

King James Version

16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; 

and to them which sat in the region 

and shadow of death light is sprung up.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, 

and to say, Repent: 

for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.


JESUS is the LIGHT of the WORLD.

That fact has been prophesied.

The LORD fulfilled His role.

Scripture testifies of it.

How does the LORD's LIGHT affect us?

How can we benefit from it?

What does the Bible say?

Know more here:


As prophesied:

Isaiah 42:16

King James Version

16 And I will bring the blind 

by a way that they knew not; 

I will lead them in paths that they have not known: 

I will make darkness light before them, 

and crooked things straight. 

These things will I do unto them, 

and not forsake them.


JESUS as LIGHT of the world:

John 1:4-5

King James Version

4 In him was life; 

and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; 

and the darkness comprehended it not.


John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, 

saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.


John 9:5

King James Version

5 As long as I am in the world, 

I am the light of the world.


2 Corinthians 4:6

King James Version

6 For God, who commanded the light 

to shine out of darkness, 

hath shined in our hearts, 

to give the light of the knowledge 

of the glory of God 

in the face of Jesus Christ.


1 John 1:5

King James Version

5 This then is the message 

which we have heard of him, 

and declare unto you, 

that God is light, 

and in him is no darkness at all.


DANGER for unbelievers:

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.


What man needs to be, in connection with the LORD's LIGHT:

Psalm 27:1

King James Version

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; 

whom shall I fear? 

the Lord is the strength of my life; 

of whom shall I be afraid?


Psalm 119:104-105

King James Version

104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: 

therefore I hate every false way.

105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, 

and a light unto my path.


Matthew 5:14-16

King James Version

14 Ye are the light of the world. 

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, 

and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; 

and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, 

that they may see your good works, 

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.


Luke 11:33

King James Version

33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, 

putteth it in a secret place, 

neither under a bushel, 

but on a candlestick, 

that they which come in 

may see the light.


Luke 11:34-36

King James Version

34 The light of the body is the eye: 

therefore when thine eye is single, 

thy whole body also is full of light; 

but when thine eye is evil, 

thy body also is full of darkness.

35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee 

be not darkness.

36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, 

having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, 

as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.


John 12:35-36

King James Version

35 Then Jesus said unto them, 

Yet a little while is the light with you. 

Walk while ye have the light, 

lest darkness come upon you: 

for he that walketh in darkness 

knoweth not whither he goeth.

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, 

that ye may be the children of light. 

These things spake Jesus, and departed, 

and did hide himself from them.


Ephesians 5:8

King James Version

8 For ye were sometimes darkness, 

but now are ye light in the Lord: 

walk as children of light:


1 Peter 2:9

King James Version

9 But ye are a chosen generation, 

a royal priesthood, 

an holy nation, 

a peculiar people; 

that ye should shew forth the praises of him 

who hath called you out of darkness 

into his marvellous light;


1 John 1:7

King James Version

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, 

we have fellowship one with another, 

and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son 

cleanseth us from all sin.


We are to shine as "lights".

For JESUS is our LIGHT.

As always, all we do must be for the GLORY of GOD.

We are never to do it for self.

But for GOD, and others.

That's how we know we are of CHRIST.

He set that very example.

Of loving GOD.

Above all.

DAVID on DELIVERANCE

 

David, the faithful:

Psalm 23

King James Version

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: 

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: 

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness 

for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley 

of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: 

for thou art with me; 

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me 

in the presence of mine enemies: 

thou anointest my head with oil; 

my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me 

all the days of my life: 

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.


David was a great king.

His devotion to GOD made him one.

Beset by battles, he called upon the LORD always.

How did the LORD save him?

Here's his testimony:

2 Samuel 22:1

King James Version

22 And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:


2 Samuel 22:2

King James Version

2 And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;


2 Samuel 22:3

King James Version

3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.


2 Samuel 22:4

King James Version

4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.


2 Samuel 22:5-7

King James Version

5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.


2 Samuel 22:14-15

King James Version

14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.


2 Samuel 22:17

King James Version

17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;


2 Samuel 22:18-19

King James Version

18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.


2 Samuel 22:20

King James Version

20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.


2 Samuel 22:30

King James Version

30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.


2 Samuel 22:33-35

King James Version

33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.


King James Version

36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.


2 Samuel 22:37

King James Version

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.


2 Samuel 22:38-40

King James Version

38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.


2 Samuel 22:41-43

King James Version

41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.


2 Samuel 22:44-46

King James Version

44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.


2 Samuel 22:48-49

King James Version

48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me.

49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.


Why did the LORD delight in David?

Why did He help him?

Here's what David said:

2 Samuel 22:21-25

King James Version

21 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: 

according to the cleanness of my hands 

hath he recompensed me.

22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, 

and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23 For all his judgments were before me: 

and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

24 I was also upright before him, 

and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

25 Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me 

according to my righteousness; 

according to my cleanness in his eye sight.


But woe to the "unsavory":

2 Samuel 22:26-28

King James Version

26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, 

and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; 

and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: 

but thine eyes are upon the haughty, 

that thou mayest bring them down.


Such was David's devotion to GOD:

2 Samuel 22:29

King James Version

29 For thou art my lamp, O Lord: 

and the Lord will lighten my darkness.


We can all learn from the LORD JESUS, from the anointed kings, prophets, apostles, disciples, and saints.

To GOD is always the GLORY!

Ephesians 1:16-17

King James Version

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, 

making mention of you in my prayers;

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of glory, 

may give unto you 

the spirit of wisdom and revelation 

in the knowledge of him:
