GOD IS SOVEREIGN

What does the phrase “God is sovereign” really mean?

Chip Ingram, Walk Thru the Bible

If you were to look up the word “sovereign” in the dictionary, you would find words and phrases like “superior,” “greatest,” “supreme in power and authority,” “ruler,” and “independent of all others” in its definition. But the way I like to explain God’s sovereignty best is simply to say, “God is in control.”

There is absolutely nothing that happens in the universe that is outside of God’s influence and authority. As King of kings and Lord of lords, God has no limitations. Consider just a few of the claims the Bible makes about God:

• God is above all things and before all things. He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. He is immortal, and He is present everywhere so that everyone can know Him (Revelation 21:6).

• God created all things and holds all things together, both in heaven and on earth, both visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16).

• God knows all things past, present, and future. There is no limit to His knowledge, for God knows everything completely before it even happens (Romans 11:33).

• God can do all things and accomplish all things. Nothing is too difficult for Him, and He orchestrates and determines everything that is going to happen in your life, in my life, in America, and throughout the world. Whatever He wants to do in the universe, He does, for nothing is impossible with Him (Jeremiah 32:17).

• God is in control of all things and rules over all things. He has power and authority over nature, earthly kings, history, angels, and demons. Even Satan himself has to ask God’s permission before he can act (Psalm 103:19).

• That’s what being sovereign means. It means being the ultimate source of all power, authority, and everything that exists. Only God can make those claims; therefore, it’s God’s sovereignty that makes Him superior to all other gods and makes Him, and Him alone, worthy of worship.

Just as peasants always bowed before their king for fear of offending the one who had the authority to take their life, God’s sovereignty compels us to bow before Him. But unlike corrupt earthly kings who abuse their authority to terrorize their subjects, God rules in love. He loves you and wants the best for you.

Romans 8:28 promises that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

REALIZE that Chrsit Jesus was Crucified 

From the Foundation of the World. (Revelation 13:8)

He was Crucified before Creation

Because God knew the Price He would have to Pay

To obtain a Bride for His Son;

The Highest price that could be Paid--His very life.

Such is the SOVEREIGNTY of God. 

How can the Prophets of God tell us what lies Ahead?

Because for God it is already DONE!

Because God is SOVEREIGN! 

REALIZE that this is the God the World Refuses to Submit to;

The World Ruled by Satan. (1 John 5:19)

The World that Refuses to Love the Truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:10)

This is the God America and the World are in Overt Rebellion Against.

REALIZE that this Rebellion is HOPELESS!

IT ENDS IN ABJECT FAILURE, as Scripture tells us Plainly.

YET, Today, the Whole World is headed toward

Receiving the son of Satan as their “god,”

And they will worship him and his father, Satan,

And Receive his “mark,”

Damning themselves to and Eternal Hell. (Revelation 13)

YET, those who Keep the Lord's Command

To Endure Patiently,

Will be Kept From the HOUR OF TRIAL

That is going to come upon the Whole World

To TEST those who live on the Earth. (Revelation 3:10)

Christ Jesus warned us all:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
