                              CAN MORTAL MAN UNDERSTAND GOD?                                               EXISTENCE, TRANSCENDENCE, IMMANENCE, IMMUTABABILITY! 

                                                    By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.me  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of rightousness for His name's sake.

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord for ever," (Ps. 23; 1,2,3,6)

"The earth is the Lords, and the fullness; the word and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded

;Some people believe that  the Lord has forsaken the earth, but that is NOT TRUE! He loves the earth which He MADE with His own hands! The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

The Bible speaks of the Lord living and exististing within us! It speaks  of His perfect transcendence or superior working wonders beyond far us! Halleljah. Who can explain His gloriousness and eternal being! No-one can!

Jesus Christ says: “Come unto Me all ye who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11: 28); “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.” (Matt. 24: 35); 

“All power is given unto Me in Heaven and In earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matt.28: 18, 20). 

"And He said unto them...But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the rearth." (Acts 1: 7,8)

"And He said unto them. Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be; but he that believeth shall be damned. And these SIGNS shall follow them that are SAVED.

"In My Name shall they cast out devils, they shall soeak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if thet drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands upon the sick, and tey shall revcover."

"And they went forth, and preached every wjherre, and the Lord working with them, and confirming the Word with signs following," (Mark 16: 15-20)

MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY!

The God of the Universe is my personal Saviour, Lord and Friend! He is my Advocate, Physician, and Counsellor. His Name means, ‘The God who saves, the God who heals, the God who protects and the God who delivers from all Evil’!

    
He is Yeshua ha Mashiach - the Salvation of God and King Messiah - Jesus the Christ of God! Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father! (Phil. 2: 10)

He is nearer than the breath I breathe and the blood that flows through my veins, because He is in me and I am in Him and I am hid with Christ in God! (John 6: 48-63; 14:16-23; 15:7; 2 Cor.5:17)

 I am His doulos (gr. love slave) because He owns me, having purchased my eternal salvation at the cost of His own precious blood. And I will be eternally grateful to Him for His compassion, love and mercy toward me, a lost and condemned sinner afloat on the sea of life, filled only with plans for material wealth and worldly ambition!

In His great mercy, He waited for me to realize that I needed Him. It took a miracle to recruit me into His Army. When my father was instantly healed in his gall bladder through the Radio Ministry of Oral Roberts and baptized in the Holy Spirit a few days later, I saw for the first time in my life the reality of God working in people’s lives.  (1 John 1: 1-7)

NO LONGER ONLY A THEORY!

It was no longer only a theory, but Jesus Christ became a living reality whom I could no longer resist. By following Him, I was offered eternal life instead of having my own way which would end in eternal death! (1 John 5: 10-13)
