Part 2 Who Is God
Statement: Plan Your Life Like Jesus Is Not Coming Back In Your Lifetime. However, Live Your Life Like He Will Return Today. Live Before People In A Godly Moral Way Sharing Your Jesus Stories. Look For His Return, Yet Be More Focused On Sharing The Good News Gospel To Someone Every Day. Remember, God Is IN Control; Remember, Only He Knows When Jesus Is Coming Back. Our Focus Should Be On The Work Of The Kingdom. Not On Who’s Right Or Wrong On The Tribulation Timetable. We Are To Occupy Till He Comes. Do Not Be Distracted By The When And How. Be Focused On The Lost And Broken.
Billy Graham- Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.
J. I. Packer- Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life’s problems fall into place of their own accord.
Penned Truth: God’s Names contain tremendous power, and we need to use them.
Psalm 83:18 (NLT) 18 Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.
His Name is (Ēl ʿElyōn), meaning- Most High God

Deeper Point 1: You must believe that God is El Elyon.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP) 5 Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].
Pastor Rick Warren- The more you believe and trust God, the more limitless your possibilities become for your family, your career – for your life!

Genesis 14:18–20 (NLT) 18 And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine. 19 Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. 20 And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the goods he had recovered.
Deeper Point 2: You Must Believe that All Power in Heaven and Earth are Subject to El Elyon.
Ephesians 6:12 (AMP) 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places.
Mark 5:9-12 (ESV) 9 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.”
Penned Truth: Engage the names of God. Next time you pray, things will change.
Deeper Point 3: An Impossible need is Available to you.

Penned Truth: Remember this truth forever: When El Elyon decides to move, no power can stand against Him!

Psalm 97:9 (GNB) 9 LORD Almighty, you are ruler of all the earth; you are much greater than all the gods.
Final Statement: There is a name for every situation. To know His names is to know God’s character and capacity; with that, we will find rest and realize peace and power in His covenant care of us. We must tap into all of His character and attributes His names brings us. When we identify and use His different names, we are not using monikers to address him. We are tapping into the full power of His character, reputation, attributes, power, and presence.
