God lives in you-that is huge!

Col 1:26-27

the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

The mystery is that God lives in you! In order for that to really move us, we must get a true concept of who God is. We need revelation of how BIG God is, and we need revelation of what His heart is like. Read this next section over your life and believe it!

He is the Uncreated, Self existent, Eternal God- He has always been, and always will be. He had no beginning, and has no end. He sees the beginning and the end simultaneously. He is the everlasting now. He lives in you.

He is Infinite, Limitless, and Unfathomable- The depths of who He is-is Inexhaustible. He goes on and on and on and on-forever! He is the God of more, and He lives in you.

He is Omnipresent- He is everywhere at all times-nothing can be hidden from Him. If I go up to the heavens, He is there; if I make my bed in the depths, He is there.

He is Omniscient- He knows ALL things. He is the genius of all geniuses. He is the most brilliant. He is the most intelligent being ever.

He is Omnipotent- He is the source of all strength and power. He is the strongest and the most powerful. He accomplishes all His works without effort. He is perfect in power, and perfect in rest. And He lives in you.

He is Sovereign- He alone has all authority. He has all dominion. He is the ruler of all things. He is in complete control of everything. He sits on the throne as the King of kings and Lord of lords. He reigns over all creation. And He lives in you.

He is Wise- All His acts are done in perfect wisdom. His plans are perfect, and connot be improved upon.

He is Unchanging- He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is steady. He is constant. He is consistent. He is unwavering. He stays the same at all times. And He lives in you.

He is Holy, Holy, Holy-totally other than, transcendent, boundless, matchless, incomparable, unequaled, unrivaled, He is exalted above ALL. This is who God is.

We haven’t even started talking about the great things that He has done throughout history. Creating the universe, Making man in His image, The miracles in the OT like Parting the red sea, the miracles in the gospels like feeding 5000, the miracles in the book of Acts when someone’s shadow healed the sick. We haven’t even mentioned the greatest miracle of Jesus giving his life on the cross and being raised from the dead. I want to say to you that our God is Great!!! This is a huge God, but also a personal God who is a perfect Father.

The pinnacle of a study of God is the study of His Heart, emotions, nature, His affections.
His heart is-love, passion, mercy, compassion, grace, desire, good, faithful, kind, patient, joy, and on and on. God desires you. He wants you! Did you know that this Great God is ravished for you?
