Colossians 1:15-17 Amplified Bible
15 He is the exact living image [the essential manifestation] of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible], the firstborn [the preeminent one, the sovereign, and the originator] of all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him.
17 And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.
After praying for a friend just now God dropped this phrase in my spirit, IT’S IN ME!! I kept hearing this over and over and over in my spirit. Then I searched & found this verse.
There is nothing outside of God. He is everything. He was before everything & will remain after everything. He created it ALL. All of it was created by Him and for Him.
This is when I hear people say, “well if that is true then why did this or that happen?” There is no way that we can answer every question of that nature because there is no way that we can know all of the ins and outs of every situation. There are so many aspects that we cannot see or know about. But God is all knowing & seeing & in all places at once. Just like the friend that I was praying for. She was in a terrible car accident recently. She has asked God that same question, why did this happen to me? She has quite a lot of physical & neurological issues as a result of the accident. As I was praying for her God reminded me of the verse in Genesis 50:20 where Joseph was telling his brothers that what they intended for evil God intended for good in order to bring about this present outcome. The enemy intended to kill my friend that day but God had other plans. As a result, her testimony will go on to reach tons of people that have lost hope because of the lies from the enemy. And God is bringing people into her life & blessing her & her family is ways she could never imagine.
We don’t ever know what each day will bring but have faith in God that He knows what is best & will get you through whatever it is. He is our ALL IN ALL. There is nothing that we need that we can find outside of Him. He is it!! There is nothing else that we need
It is a tremendous freedom that you can feel once you can come to this realization & live by it. Yes, life throws curve balls, yes the enemy is out to kill, steal & destroy but Jesus came that we may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance, John 10:10.
There is literally nothing that the enemy can throw your way that God cannot bring you out of. And He will give you the peace to walk it out.
Philippians 4:19 Amplified Bible
19 And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
He knows what we need even before we do. He will supply that need liberally!!
IT’S ALL IN HIM!!!
