it’s not what you know it’s what you can prove. 

Is God all powerful? Yes. But it’s not faith in Gods power that gets things done, it’s faith in who God is.

 

Today you may hear a prayer or a sermon that says “God is able”. Sounds so good and righteous… but God is more than able! The old Testament says God is gracious! 

 

Psalm 145:8 

The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Psalm 116:5 

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful.

Psalm 86:15 

But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

Psalm 103:8 

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Exodus 34:6 

The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,

 

 

What does Gracious mean? It means he yearns to hear you…Why? So he can move on your behalf. He leans in to hear you, he is stretching out to take you into his presence. 

 

You see we have a problem and think the lord is willing… when the truth is that the Lord WANTS TO. Not just willing, he really wants to meet our needs, he is leaning in listening and wants to help us. But when we put our faith in his power (which isn’t even biblical) but rather put our faith in his love- that is when our faith is activiated. God is Love - the bible never says God is power. Yes he is all powerful - but that is not why he wants to move on our behalf. 

 

Many of you have heard me say “We don’t have a sin problem we have a knowing God problem”. And the truth is that can be said about a few things… including we don’t have a belief in Gods power Problem, we have a belief in how much God loves us - once you get that your faith will be deeper and more powerful than ever.
