This study is to give us Scriptures of the Sovereignty i.e. Supreme Power and Authority of I AM i.e. Almighty God and The Lord Jesus Christ. Although it may be difficult to grasp it is the Spirit of the Lord that will give understanding and guide into all truth revealing His Truth to those who both love and trust the Lord. The Spirit of God will also bring to mind when to  acknowledge The Lord’s Supreme Power and Authority wherein is perfect peace. I reiterate although His Power may be difficult to understand I encourage you to accept the truth of the Word of God i.e.what is written in Scripture because it will save you from being defeated especially when you are going through times of afflictions, spiritual warfare.

It has been stated that many Christians worship The Lord because of who they want Him to be not because of who He is. Where do you stand?

The Questions Are after you read or hear what the Lord says about Himself

  • Do / Will you believe and accept what is written concerning God’s Supreme power?
     
  • Will you acknowledge them and  tell the Lord about Himself in prayer about who He is, what He does,Why He does it and how He does what He does?
     
  • Will you defend His supreme power and authority before others or will you question or deny it?
     
  • When you observe His Power in Life will you acknowledge, admit or confess that what you see is of / from Him, through Him and To Him? Then will you give Him Thanks?
     

Note Question- Is man’s will or free will included in God’s Supreme Power and Authority or is it excluded from it?

Do not cast away your confidence in the knowledge you now possess and as the Lord is increasing you with more knowledge of Who He is, what He does, why and how he does it.Therefore you need patience which brings forth experience, to receive what our Father has promised in your desire to know The Lord more intimately.

A Manifestation of God’s Supreme Power and Authority

(Is man’s will or free will included in God’s Sovereignty or is it excluded from it)?

    Acts 4:26-28 (Amplified V) The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’ 27 For in this city there were gathered together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined [before the creation of the world] to occur [and so without knowing it, they served Your own purpose].

    Isaiah 53:2-7,10
    2He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him. 3He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. 4Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted.…
    5 He was (wounded) for our transgressions, He was crushed  for our iniquities; the [punishment that brought us peace was upon Him], and by His stripes we are healed.… 6We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.…10Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.… 10 (KJV) it pleased the Lord to bruise Him, He has put hIm to grief

Was it I Am, God that crushed, bruised and killed Christ and caused Him to suffer? Look at who was God’s hand. Did the Lord direct or permit all the people involved to do what they did? WIll you thank the Lord for what he did? (Remember Job Chp1)

Can you acknowledge to God including in your prayer time that He crushed, bruised or killed Christ and that he caused Christ to suffer?

After looking at all  the Scriptures of God’s  Sovereignty, what is your answer?
