EL Shaddai

The God Who is More Than Enough

When the Lord God appeared to Abram, He actually said in Hebrew was, " I am El Shaddai "
El Shaddai is one of the seven covenant names through which God revealed Himself to Israel.  In Hebrew,  El Shaddai means " the All-Sufficient One, " or " the God who is more than enough. "
The translators of the King James Version translated El Shaddai as "Almighty God. " If He is the All-Sufficient One, then  He is Almighty : the One who is more than enough. 
Jesus said,  "Before Abraham was,I am" God had revealed Himself to Moses in the Old Testament as the God I AM. In telling the Jews , "I am that God you are looking for. " He demonstrated in zhis earthly walk He is the God who is more than enough. Amen

Blueprint for Building Strong Faith

Surrounding Yourself with that which Produces  Faith

Every born - again Christian has received "the" measure of faith  mentioned in Romans 12:3.  Not "a" measure of faith; "the" measure of faith.
What you do with your measure of faith  after salvation is up to you - but what with it determines whether or not you grow in faith. Amen

Strength in Unity

"For by one Spirit [the Holy Spirit ] are we all baptized into one body,  whether we be Jews [the religious people] or Gentiles  [the non-religious  people ], whether we be bond or free; and  have been  all made to drink into one Spirit" 1 Corinthians 12 : 13

There is a strength and a force in unity that will not be found any other place.  The unity of the body of Christ is like none other.

Once the church of Jesus Christ comes together and flows as one colossal body, the power and love of God will spread throughout the whole world.  Amen

Food for Thought

Diversity of Gifts

Within the nine gifts of the Spirit,  there are three groups: revelation, power, and inspiration.  There are diversities of gifts, but all three groups flow from only one Source : the Holy Spirit of God.  Amen

The Believers Potential

The Example of Jesus

But we do see that Jesus did concern Himself with corporate entities as well as with personal ones. To begin, He ministered to His people group as a culture with a particular history. He wept over Israel’s sins and wounds. He identified with them. He was absolutely rooted in their story, as the elaborate genealogy introducing Him in Matthew 1 reveals. Indeed, He was totally engaged with individuals, both with their immediate personal needs and with their eternal salvation, but He also dealt in terms of corporate, national issues. The most striking example of Jesus’ dealing with a corporate entity among His people is found in Matthew 23:29–32

The Believers Potential

God's  Momentum

A reconciliation initiative is launched when people who trust each other form an alliance around a major reconciliation issue and determine to take action together. Like-minded people find each other and learn from other reconcilers in a network. Identificational repentance is proving to be the key to opening doors that have been closed for centuries. People are taking prayer journeys where historic oppression or massive killing has ruled regions and cultures—at such scenes as ancient massacres, slave trading, or war. Amen

The Believers Potential

A Model for Reconciliation

Even though the Judeo-Christian ethos present in a few national cultures gives us some basis for hope that reconciliation can occur through governmental or societal entities, reconciliation ministry is primarily the responsibility of the living church. There is, after all, no substitute for the atonement Jesus provided for sin. Just as during seasons of revival in the past, the church always placed great emphasis on open acknowledgment of sin and called for changed attitudes and just actions, so today’s believers are being called to demonstrate a model of reconciliation for the troubled world of the new century. Amen
