The God Who is There - God Omniscient - Pastor Mark South

- God fully knows himself, every possibility, and every actuality, immediately and simultaneously. - God governs the course of history so that, in the long run, his glory will be more fully displayed, and his people more fully satisfied than would have been the case in any other world. - John Piper - ”God knows instantly and effortlessly all matter and all matters, all mind and every mind, all spirit and every spirit, all being and every being, all creaturehood and all creatures, every plurality and all pluralities, all law and every law, all relations, all causes, all thoughts, all mysteries, all enigmas, all feeling, all desires, every unuttered secret, all thrones and dominions, all personalities, all things visible, and invisible in heaven and in earth, motion, space, time, life, death, good, evil, heaven, and hell.” *A.W. Tozer* - You have been weighed. You have been measured, and you have been found wanting. - **Daniel 5:27** - God knows you - Every moment of your existence and every thought, action, and intention spoken or unspoken, seen or unseen, known or unknown, is fully known by God. - And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. - **Hebrews 4:13** - Sometimes we think we know better. (PS. 139:6) - Sometimes we think we know better. (PS. 139:6) - Often we hide. (PS 139:7-12) - “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 - - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. - **Ephesians 1:3-6** - For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. Romans 8:29 - But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. 1 Corinthians 8:3 - Being known by God is to be loved by God. - Worshipping God All-knowing. - God’s thoughts are infinitely valuable. - Worshipping God All-knowing - Align our thoughts with God’s thoughts and pray accordingly. - Worshipping God All-knowing - Invite God to know what he already knows - God knows where you need shalom (peace). - Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - **Philippians 4:5-7**. - God knows the way to the eternal. - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - **John 14:6** - For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. - **1 Corinthians 1:18**
