God is Everywhere?

The question of God’s omnipotence has historically caused little controversy. Basically, being omnipresent means being present everywhere at the same time. Can this term be applied to God? What does the Scripture tell us?

There is no verse/s found in the Scripture that says: God is everywhere. It is only the eyes of the Lord that is everywhere.

Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good. 

My understanding dictates that, if God is everywhere, there is no need for Satan to go back and forth from heaven to earth and vice versa,  accusing us before our God day and night. 

Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.

In fact, God ask Satan where he came from one day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 1:7 And the LORD said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.

If He is everywhere, there is no need for Him to send legions of Angels guarding us from evil harm.

Ps 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Mt 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

Moreover, the LORD Almighty assured us that he will hear our prayers from heaven.

2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

And when Jesus was made flesh, He taught us to pray to our Father which art in heaven.

Lk 11:2 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. 

At what instance then will the LORD Almighty be in our midst? In this verse, He said, "I myself will go also".

Zechariah 8:20-21 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘ Peoples shall yet come, Inhabitants of many cities; The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, “ Let us continue to go and pray before the LORD, And seek the LORD of hosts. I myself will go also.”

It is also at this instance will our Lord Jesus Christ be in our midst.

Mt 18:19  Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

Mt 18:20 For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Though the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, He made himself available always in the congregation and assembly of his faithful.

Acts 7:48 Yet, the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as saith the prophet,

Acts 17:24 God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Let us therefore hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised:

Heb 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

There is really no need for our God to be present at all times. We can always pray and ask for protection and guidance anytime we want to for He knows the intent of our heart. 

Jer 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 

Jer 17:9  I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Deliver Us

We are facing a dangerous life not everyday but every hour.

1 Cor 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

1 Cor 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

1 Cor 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

1 Cor 15:33 Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.

We need to have protection from evil. Below verse should not be written if it is not so.

Ps 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.

In fact, there are many verses in the Bible proving that the angels of the Lord really came and delivered them from fear and death.

Lk 2:9 And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.

2 Cor 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us:

Apostle Paul also stated in his letter to the Corinthians.

2 Cor 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.

2 Cor 11:24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one.

2 Cor 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

2 Cor 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

2 Cor 11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

2 Cor 11:28 Besides those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

It is our consolation therefore that God the Father really cares for us He knowing everything about us.

Mt 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.

Mt 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Mt 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Sparrows have no angels guarding them but all people of God have. Who is afraid then of temptation, sin or death if you know these assurances from God.

Lk 12:4 And I say to you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

Is this not taught by Jesus in the Lord's prayer?

Mt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Lk 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Tares

Why God won't kill the wicked is a show of his loving kindness to the righteous.

Matthew 13:27-29 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

God let them grow together up to the time of harvest, for gathering the weeds early will root up the wheat along with it.

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

The parable was explained further by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 13:37-40 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

If we only understand the meaning of this parable, who likes to be tares and be later burned in the fire. Will you?

Simple & Obvious

When it comes to religion, nobody will ever claim that theirs are not authentic. The question is, How do you know that their doctrine is from God? The answer is very simple and obvious. The evidence can seen clearly by the eye.

John 7:17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

The doctrine is already written but many are selective on what they are going to teach. May be because the practice is in existence since birth and introducing a new law will harvest disagreements from all sectors of society.

Details below are discussed already in my previous posts but I find it necessary to mention it again.

The Man with long hair is a disgrace unto him but the woman with long hair is her covering or protection against bad angels.

1 Corinthians 11:14-15 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

It is a hair covering & definitely it's not a hat, veil, turban, cap or anything that can be worn on the head. Therefore, cutting the hair of the woman is removing her covering or protection.

1 Corinthians 11:10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

God want women to get in there with the men in humility, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it. Imagine a woman going to Church with protruding cleavage, short shorts, backless & exposing her navel or nipple to arouse the desire of men.

1 Timothy 2:9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

Announce this doctrine in a congregation then enforce it and let's see how many are left.

James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

Jesus Christ The Reformist

John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

I was lead to believe that Israel being God's people have seen God in person many times.

Exodus 19:20 Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

But reading the verses below proved to me otherwise.

Acts 7:30 “And when forty years had passed, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.

Acts 7:38 “This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us,

It was an angel of the Lord whom Moses see and giving the law of a fleshly commandment.

And by Him (Christ Jesus) who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life, everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Hebrews 9:9-10 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

That time of reformation was done by no less than our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
