Who God is? 10 Selected Scriptures Describing Who God is

Who God is? Have you ever had this question before in your life? Here are ten selected scriptures pointing out who God is. It's not exhaustive nor is limiting. Personally, I believe God is immeasurable, infinite, all powerful, indescribable.... For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes - Deuteronomy 10:17 NIV For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. -Deuteronomy 4:24 NIV God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? - Numbers 23:19 NIV For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory - Deuteronomy 20:4 NIV For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath - Deuteronomy 4:31 NIV And the heavens pro

It is Well With My Soul - God is our Refuge and Strength, a Very Present Help in Trouble

This song It Is Well With My Soul has struck my attention today. It was sang beautifully at church with the clips showing the devastation of the recent flooding in Queensland, Australia.  This is a song of hope. It gives us the message that amidst trouble, sorrow, or pain, we have our Heavenly Father who is for us.That out of these circumstances, God's goodness still revealed and we can still see hope, peace, and love. Our lives here on Earth is temporal so let us invest more into something that has eternal value.

Who Am I by Casting Crowns - A song about You and I

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 1 Corinthians 5:17   Casting Crowns is one of my favorite Christian Band.  This band is a Grammy Award and Dove Award winning Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock band. They started in 1999 by youth pastor Mark Hall at First Baptist Church in Downtown Daytona Beach, Florida. Mark Hall is the lead vocalist of Casting Crowns. This song, Who Am I ,  really tells a story about you and me relating to our relationship with  God,  our Father Almighty. The lyrics are penned in a layman's perspective and was recorded beautifully to emphasize nuggets of important biblical teachings and values.

Here I Am to Worship

I consider this very popular worship song, Here I am to Worship, as  one of best songs that I've ever heard or sang. Popular contemporary christian artists like Chris Tomlin , Tim Hughes , Michael W. Smith and many others put to life the lyrics of this song and the message it has for mankind. Darlene Zschech and the Hillsong Team version of Here I Am to Worship is somewhat unique and I love that part where Darlene sang an amazing verse "Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved! ( Romans 10:13 )"  It really brought this worship song into a higher step of evangelistic quality.  The video below that was uploaded on Youtube ( video link here )  had attracted over 3.6 millions. I am inspired to read various comments from many viewers of how this worship song has impacted their lives. One comment was a stand out for me and this is from Youtube member with the username phuong6936 . She/Hes has this comment: "I was a Buddhist, and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savi

Our God is Greater, Our God is Healer!

Listening to this song Our God by Chris Tomlin while doing this blog entry created me an atmosphere of peace, stirred faith, and inspired spirit. In life, we are easily hooked up with our daily routines and oftentimes, our quiet time with the Lord is becoming less and less. We don't spend much time praying. We don't spend time singing a song of praise or worship. We don't spend time listening to what God has to say by reading His Word or listening to His still small voice. Oh, how easy easy it is to forget or  to procrastinate! But thanks be to God, His mercies never end. They are new every morning. Chris Tomlin put yet another piece of music that really stirred my Spirit. A huge statement and declaration about our Heavenly Father. As I try to follow and sing every lyrics, the more I feel and believe about the message of this song. You might one to try and experience it for yourself. It's really true.  "If God is for us, who can be against us?"  God is for

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me" Psalm 23:4

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death Your perfect love is casting out fear And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life I won't turn back I know you are near   And I will fear no evil For my God is with me And if my God is with me Whom then shall I fear? Whom then shall I fear? " - Matt Redman, "You Never Let Go" Lyrics   Enjoy this Video uploaded by LesDudis at Youtube.

Chris Tomlin - "Indescribable"

“ What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world .” - Albert Einstein   (German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879-1955) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1) The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. (Ps 19:1) The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. (Ps 24:1-2) When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? (Ps 8:3-4) For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain,  Who formed it to be inhabited: “ I am the LORD, and there is no other .&q

Hillsong: Mighty To Save

The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing. ( Zephaniah 3:17 NIV ) No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief. - John Calvin Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people. - Bob Dylan Buy Hillsong 's Mighty to Save  Live CD here Mighty to Save or Buy Hillsong Live (DVD) here Hillsong - Mighty To Save Live or download MP3 here Mighty To Save source: Youtube WimNL photo: mchenrycountyblog.com

Hillsong: This is Our God

“When a man undergoes treatment from a doctor, he does not need to know the way in which the drug works on his body in order to be cured. There is a sense in which Christianity is like that. At the heart of Christianity there is a mystery , but it is not the mystery of intellectual appreciation; it, the mystery of redemption.”- William Barkley Because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ , His blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in Him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth. It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard
