Revelation 22:1-7; Genesis 1:31; Psalm 107:20; Acts 10:38; Psalm 147:1-20; Genesis 18:1-14; Jeremiah 32:17-27; John 11:1-45; Psalm 136:1-9
Our God loves us and is both willing and able to do amazing things for us as He promised in His Word. Like the song, “Got Any Rivers,” says, our God can, indeed, do what no other power can do! We are God’s servants. Revelations records we will reign forever and ever which is a figure of speech that denotes and emphasizes infinite time. What God says, He means. His words are faithful and true.
When God created the heavens and the earth, they were perfect. When He saw what He had made, including man, He said it was very good. God wants us to have the best of all He has done. He wants us to have prosperous, healthy lives. At times we get sick or have problems, but because we have a God who can do what no other power can do, He can and does help us. God gave us His Word which is healing. He also gave Jesus the power to do good and to heal.
Through the gift of holy spirit, He has given us the power to heal and do good also. God heals us physically, mentally and spiritually. What a mighty God He is!
With all God’s greatness at His command, He still cares tenderly for His people. Job, after saying a whole lot about what he though he understood, was finally silenced when God asked him where he was when He, God, was creating all the magnificent things in the heaven and on earth. Job had to admit that he really knew nothing. When we get to the place we realize that without God we also know and can do nothing of ourselves, we will be able to receive more from Him in our walk.
When God told Abraham and Sarah they would have a child, Sarah laughed. She needed a miracle in her life and God provided one. Nothing is too difficult for God. Jeremiah declared that God made the heaven and the earth by His great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for Him.
It has been said that sickness is death in part. As soon as we are born, we start to die. In the account of Lazarus, we find someone whose sickness was not just death in part, but in full. Lazarus was dead for four days and his body was decomposing. God had already told Jesus the whole plan. Jesus knew what was going to happen would be for the glory of God. Despite the number of discouraging things others said to Him, Jesus fulfilled the plan God had given him and Lazarus was raised from the dead. Death is a pretty big obstacle, yet God specializes in what no other power can do.
We should pray, expecting the unexpected, including miracles. Medical technology is great but there is one principle that is spiritual in nature which supersedes the physical the things of God, a God who heals and delivers to the uttermost. We have a good and merciful God, who is full of grace. There is no lack in His ability to deliver to the uttermost. He is a God who can do what no other power can do!
