The
Difference this truth
can make IN MY life |

God Most High = El Elyon
the most high god
Strongest of the Strong
Superlative God - surpassing all
others
If He is the Most High then what is
His perspective on my problems?
Da4:34
his Dominion
is everlasting
("Dominion" =
supreme authority)
Da4:34 "But at the end
of that period I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my
reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised
and honored Him who lives forever; for His dominion is an everlasting
dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
Da4:35
He Does according to His will
Da4:35
"And all the
inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, but He does
according to His will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants
of earth; and no one can ward off His hand or say to Him, 'What hast
Thou done?'
No one can ward off

How Much Does God
Control? |
|
God is
SOVEREIGN
which means GOD IS IN CHARGE
OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE ALL THE TIME.
Westminster Catechism says that "God from all eternity
did, by the most wise & holy counsel of His own will, freely &
unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass yet so as thereby neither
is God the author of sin"
God is supreme over
Over host
of heaven (includes Satan & demons)
Da 4:35
Inhabitants of the earth
Da4:37
Those who walk in pride
Da4:37
"Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise, exalt, and
honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His
ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride."

Even down to old age
all My people shall prove
My sovereign,
eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. |

TRUTH CAN SET YOUR FREE
El
Elyon does His Will
Where?
In
the Host of Heaven
Inhabitants of the earth
(Note that "Host"
can be translated "armies" and in context most likely
refers to the angelic hosts of heaven, both good and
evil - God is in control of both!)
Job after suffering calamity that the
LORD had permitted (see next row below) came to know God's sovereignty
in a very real and personal way declaring:
"I know that Thou canst do all
things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted"
Job 42:2
We learn the lesson of trust
in the school of trial.
How would this
affect my worship?
worship Him in spirit & in truth (Jn4:24)
(Put it into practice right now dear saint -- Click and sing "O
Father You Are Sovereign")
Job's God will be your God. And you will know the One in whom you can
place your complete trust in every circumstances of life--whether it
be in times of great joy or in the kind of affliction Job had to
endure.
We would all to well to take Paul's approach to the more "mysterious"
aspects of God's sovereignty
"Oh, the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His
judgments and unfathomable His ways! For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE
LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT
IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN? For from Him and through Him and
to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen." (Ro11:33-36)

Job1:6-10 God places limits on
Satan, who could go no farther then God allowed
---------------------
Lk22:31-32 "Simon, Simon, behold,
Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have
prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you
have turned again, strengthen your brothers."
Satan
asked permission
to sift
Peter
The point is that Satan cannot touch
a believer without El Elyon's permission. Note that Jesus was praying
for Peter and He is also praying for you as you are experiencing
circumstances through which you will be sifted and sanctified. (cf
Ro8:34,
Heb7:25) |
Who was initiator?
What was Job's argument?
What did Satan ask God to remove?
God
is supreme over
over Satan
Job1-2
Counters false teaching that
Satan is in control of events
When God permits Satan to light the furnace, you can be confident that
He always keeps His hand on the thermostat!
|
O Father, You are sovereign
In all affairs of man;
No powers of death or darkness
Can thwart Your perfect plan.
All chance & change transcending,
Supreme in time and space,
You hold your trusting children
Secure in Your embrace.

we can
know that
God is in control
not Satan
Even if Satan causes problems in my
life, it is God Who PERMITS this to happen. And just as
important, we need to remember and lay hold of the truth that...
JESUS
IS PRAYING FOR YOU
"Who
is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who
was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also (present
tense = continually) intercedes for us (in our place, on our
behalf)." (Ro8:34)
"Hence, also, He is able to save
forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives
to make intercession for them." (Heb7:25)

Isaiah although using the name "Jehovah Sabaoth" clearly describes
God's sovereignty.
Isa 14:24,27 (Context:
God as a reflection of His sovereignty over nations, predicts the
destruction of Judah's enemy Assyria in v25-26) "The
LORD of hosts has sworn saying, "Surely, just as I have intended so it
has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand...For the
LORD of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His
stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?"
What God
intends happens
what he
plans stands
none
Cannot frustrate
his plans
No one can
turn back
His hand |
Dearly beloved, meditate deeply on
what God says about His sovereignty and as the Spirit illuminates this
attribute of God, lay hold of the truth that El Elyon is in control
and make the choice to run into the strong tower of this Name and you
will be lifted up and obtain an entirely new perspective on your
anxieties over what the future holds (because you will come to know
and trust the One Who sovereignly controlled not only your past but
your future) & with this
truth comes the potential for His peace that passes all
human understanding. (Phil4:6-7)
J. B. Phillips wrote the classic book Your God Is Too Small and
the title tells the whole story. Many of us have a problem because our
God is too small. But if you ever understand that God is sovereign
over the entire universe, you’ll never have a "small" God
again.
When a cowboy applied for health insurance, the agent routinely asked
if he had had any accidents during the previous year. The cowboy
replied, "No. But I was bitten by a rattlesnake, and a horse kicked me
in the ribs. That laid me up for a while." The agent said, "Weren’t
those accidents?" "No," replied the cowboy, "They did it on purpose."
The cowboy realized that there are no such things as "accidents." How
about you, Christian? Do you believe that some things catch God by
surprise? In the words of a good friend, "God is too sovereign to be
lucky." |
we can know that
WE
ARE NOT VICTIMS
OF
CHANCE
OR
FATE OR LUCK
You can have God
or chance,
but you can’t have both
During America's Great Depression in
1929, many men jumped
to their death, because they failed to recognize that God is always in control.
Dearly beloved, grasp the truth about God's sovereignty and you will
experience the blessed
assurance that whatever comes into your life will
be filtered through His fingers of love. You must remember, beloved, that
the Most High God, El Elyon, holds you in His sovereign, omnipotent
hand. You are not subject to the "winds of chance". Nothing and no one
can touch you without the Most High God's permission!
God in His sovereignty, makes a
provision for things to get done the way He wants them done. Our job
is to pray, to follow His leading, and to trust Him with the results.
If He wants it done, God will make a way.
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way,
He works in ways we cannot see,
He will make a way for me. --Moen |

Remember: God is
greater than
your greatest problem |

Da 2:20-23 (Context: Daniel receives
from the sovereign God Nebuchadnezzar's dream and interpretation) "Daniel
answered and said, "Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
for wisdom and power belong to Him. And it is He who changes the times
and the epochs. He removes kings and establishes kings. He gives
wisdom to wise men, and knowledge to men of understanding. It is He
who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the
darkness, and the light dwells with Him. To Thee, O God of my fathers,
I give thanks and praise, for Thou hast given me wisdom and power;
even now Thou hast made known to me what we requested of Thee, for
Thou hast made known to us the king's matter."

Sovereign of Worlds!
Display Thy Power |
Sovereign
of worlds! Display Thy power;
Be this Thy Zion’s favored hour;
O bid the morning star arise,
O point the heathen to the skies.
Set up Thy throne where Satan reigns,
In western wilds and eastern plains;
Far let the Gospel’s sound be known;
Make Thou the universe Thine own.
Speak & the world shall hear Thy voice;
Speak, and the desert shall rejoice;
Dispel the gloom of heathen night;
Bid every nation hail the light. |

Isa5:5-7 "So now let Me tell you
what I am going to do to My vineyard: I will remove its hedge and it
will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it will become
trampled ground. "And I will lay it waste; It will not be pruned or
hoed, But briars and thorns will come up. I will also charge the
clouds to rain no rain on it." For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts
is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah His delightful plant.
Thus He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; For righteousness,
but behold, a cry of distress.

Dt 32:39
'See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who
put to death and give life. I have wounded, and it is I who heal; And
there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
1Sam 2:6 "The LORD kills and
makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up."
Job 5:18 "He inflicts pain and
gives relief; He wounds and His hands also heal." (cf
Isa30:26) (When the Sovereign God
does allow pain to come into our lives, it is not to harm us, but to
make us better - not bitter but better!)

Click here to read John Piper's
sermon "Is God Less
Glorious Because He Ordained that Evil Be?" Below
is a sample excerpt:
"First, then, consider the
evidence that God controls all things, including evil. When I speak of
evil, I have two kinds in mind, natural and moral. Natural evil we
usually refer to as calamities: hurricanes, floods, disease, all the
natural ways that death and misery strike without human cause. Moral
evil we usually refer to as sin: murder, lying, adultery, stealing,
all the ways that people fail to love each other. So what we are
considering here is that God rules the world in such a way that all
calamities and all sin remain in his ultimate control and therefore
within his ultimate design and purpose." |
|
In
Isaiah 46:9-10 God testifies that He is
absolutely sovereign, declaring "Remember the former things long past,
for I am God, and there is no other; [I am] God, and there is no one like
Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which
have not been done (proof of His sovereignty is His ability to control
the future), saying, 'My purpose will be established, and I will
accomplish all My good pleasure."
|
GOD IS
SOVEREIGN OVER
the
future
Absolutely
NOTHING happens outside his control. ALL things happen in accordance
with His plan. Consequently He rules over all things, including
your future.
You may not know
what the future holds but you know Who holds the future
|
We can trust our
all-knowing God for
the unknown future.
Ps 103:19
(NAS) The LORD has established His throne in the heavens and His
sovereignty rules over all.
Though I know not
what awaits me—
What the future has in store,
Yet I know that God is faithful,
For I've proved Him oft before. —Anon. |

Isa 45:6-7
That men may know from the rising to the
setting of the sun that there is no one besides Me. I am the LORD, and
there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness,
causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD Who
does all these. |
GOD IS
SOVEREIGN OVER
well-being
(He causes it)
&
calamity
("disaster")
(He creates it)
|
WE CAN KNOW
god Permits our circumstances
but remember
that the most high god can turn
any difficulty into an opportunity.

Ge14:18-24
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he
was a priest of God Most High.19 And he blessed him and said, "Blessed
be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; 20
And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into
your hand." And he gave him a tenth of all. 21 And the king of
Sodom said to Abram, "Give the people to me and take the goods for
yourself." 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to
the LORD God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that I will
not take a thread or a sandal thong or anything that is yours, lest
you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.' 24 "I will take nothing
except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who
went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share."
Because you belong to God He will
deliver you from all your enemies. Even temporary defeats are turned
into victory if we walk in the truth & assurance that He is El Elyon.
How easy it is to trust Him with our eternal destiny & yet how often
we struggle with trusting El Elyon with our day to day struggles.

Eph 1:3 Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
Php4:19 My God shall
supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in
Christ Jesus.
To know God as "God Most High",
sovereign over everything and everyone is an empowering doctrine for
if you truly believe that He is sovereign, no mere human can
intimidate you. You’ll respect authority but you won’t cringe before
it.
If
you know that God is sovereign, then you can be content—and even find
joy—in the midst of circumstances that are less than ideal.
If
you know that God is sovereign, then you will be encouraged in
evangelism because you understand that winning the lost is not your
job. Your job is to share the gospel, tell your testimony , talk about
Jesus, look for opportunities, and pray for open doors but it's God's
job to sovereignly lead us, to empower us, to give us those open
doors, and then when we share Christ, to convict sinners and create in
them a hunger for Him and His Word
If
you know that God is sovereign, then you can know that He will win the
battle with Satan and in fact because He lives outside time the
victory has already won at the Cross and in eternity. From our
perspective the battle rages all around us, and all too often evil
seem to be winning. God’s sovereignty guarantees the ultimate victory
of good over evil, but we must remember that God’s timetable and ours
are not the same. |
|
What should be the end result if we accept the fact that God is El
Elyon, sovereign ruler over everything?
We will come to know in our
experience that absolutely nothing happens to a child of the Living
God that the Most High God is not sovereign over and that He is high
above every difficult circumstance, over every demonic force, over
ever sorrow, over every tragedy. |
If we really believe El Elyon is sovereign would it change my
thinking about…
My present circumstances?
My past?
My financial situation?
My government?
Acceptance of my circumstances can
bring Him glory…and this is the grand purpose for which we have been
created
|
If
you really know Him as El Elyon, the sovereign God then you will come
more and more to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that..."that
God causes
all things
to
work together for good
to those who love God, to
those who are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew,
He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son." (Ro8:28-29)
And you be able to truly
"in everything give thanks"
thus fulfilling "God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (1
Th 5:18) |
|
If God is
not sovereign
if He is not in control,
if all things are not
under His dominion,
then
He is not the Most High,
and
we are either in the hands of
fate (whatever
that is)
or
in the hands of men
or
in the hands of the devil.
---------------------
But take
courage beloved brethren for...
He
is in total control
&
He has always been in total control
&
He will always be in total control! |
---------------------
The Most High God is
in control of all the adverse and difficult circumstances of our lives. You
may be going through an adverse experience as you read these notes. Let's
call it ,for illustration purposes, a "STEINWAY EXPERIENCE" (read
on).
If you had to name the most famous piano, the one that produced the most
beautiful sound in the world which one would you name? Most people would say
"Steinway". The Steinway
piano has been preferred by keyboard masters such as
Rachmaninoff, Horowitz, Cliburn, and Liszt and for good reason. It is a
skillfully crafted instrument that produces a phenomenal sound. Steinway
pianos are built today the same way they were 140 years ago when Henry
Steinway started his business. 200 craftsmen and12,000 parts are required
to produce one of these magnificent instruments. Most crucial is the
rim-bending
process, where 18 layers of maple are bent around an iron press to
create the shape of a Steinway grand. Five coats of lacquer are applied and
then hand-rubbed
to give the piano its outer glow. The instrument then goes into the
"Pounder Room", where
each key is pounded 10,000 times to ensure
quality and
durability.
Followers of Jesus Christ, much like the grand Steinway, are being "handcrafted"
with all of the steps being watched over and directed by our
Most High God, El
Elyon , the One Who is in sovereign control of every detail of
this process often referred to as "sanctification". We are being
pressed and
formed and
shaped ,
all that we might "become conformed (molded with an inner
and essential and not merely superficial conformity) to the
image of His Son" (Ro8:29).
We are being polished, sometimes with the what seems like a great amount of
what we could call the "rubbing of affliction", until we
"glow." We are then being continually tested in the laboratory of everyday
human experience. The process of sanctification is not always pleasant, but
we can persevere with hope, knowing that our lives will increasingly reflect
the beauty of holiness to the eternal praise of the Most High God. Amen.
Are you going through a Steinway
Piano experience?
Is the Most High God
bending, shaping, or polishing you right now?
Can I trust
El Elyon Who I have learned
is in control of circumstances, demonic spirits, life/death, kings &
nations?
Knowing the truth about His Name
El Elyon can I thank Him even in the painful times?
Remember that He does not allow
trials to provoke us or destroy us
but
to refine us & ultimately make us more like Jesus…
Never forget the grand purpose
for which He created you –
to give Him glory.
RUN & HIDE IN THE SECRET PLACE OF
THE STRONG TOWER OF EL ELYON
&
BE SET SECURELY ON HIGH.
When we understand that our God is called
El Elyon, then we're set on the road to victory.
There's nothing in the heavens nor anyone
on the Earth that can match our God.
When we know God as El Elyon, then we live
in a secure place.
Satan is no match for the Most High God.
No dictator can stop His Name from being
proclaimed.
No government is too powerful for Him.
He is the Most High God. No god made of
stone or carved out of wood can compare to El Elyon.
Trust in Him, and you will experience the
peace that passes all human understanding .
Isn’t it easier to give thanks when you
realize that your Father, El Elyon, God Most High, is in control and that
nothing can happen in this universe without His permission?
Even when we are wronged by others or go
through difficult times of testing, as Job did, we can still give thanks.
God so rules that no person, angel, demon or devil, nor any circumstance of
life, can thwart His plan. El Elyon rules supremely over all; and because He
does, you can understand how "all things work together for good to those who
love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (Ro8:28).
Dear saint, the next time you start to
murmur and complain, or you are tempted to, run to your El Elyon, trust in
His name, and give thanks that He, the Most High, is in control.
Understanding this makes it easier to obey those commands that charge us to
rejoice in all the circumstance of life.
A prayer you might want to pray: "Yes,
Lord, there are SO MANY things that happen to us daily that we often are
tempted to ask "Why?" and fret or be depressed..."Why the broken water pipe?
Why the problems with this particular child? Why this sickness? Why did my
husband make this decision?"...ALL THINGS...ALL THINGS work together for
GOOD!..." Please "anchor" this in my heart, Lord, and let me know that
because I am Your child, EVERYTHING that happens to me is for my GOOD! Thank
You, Lord! You are my El Elyon!"
|
What comfort does this
truth provide?
Who is
in control of the universe?
Who is
in control of your life?
Could we
trust El Elyon to be in control of our life?
What do
we have to fear if we come to truly understand and
submit to the truth inherent in His name El Elyon?
Fear is
to Satan what
FAITH is to God.
Faith
does God's work.
Fear
does Satan's work.
Gird
your minds (with the truth about El Elyon, ready) for action,
Keep sober in spirit,
Fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you
At the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For a
special blessing of edification and encouragement, spend some time
meditating on God's Name, "Most High", reading through all of the Scriptural
occurrences below, making a list of all you learn about El Elyon and then
praying that truth back to Him in praise and petition. |
