Poder de Deus
O poder de Deus é incomparável e infinito. Ele criou o universo pela palavra, sustenta todas as coisas e manifesta sua onipotência em cada geração.
A onipotência do Criador
Deus fez os céus e a terra pelo seu grande poder. Nada é impossível para Ele, e sua força está além de toda compreensão humana.
But Yahweh made the earth by his power;
he established it firmly by his wisdom
and stretched out the sky by his understanding.
When Jesus heard us say that, he looked intently at us, and then he said to us, "Yes, it is impossible for people to save themselves. But God can save them, because God is able to do anything!"
But those events show only a small amount of his power;
it is as though we are hearing only whispers of his powerful voice.
When we hear thunder, we say, ‘◄Who can really understand how great his power is/No one can really understand how great his power is!► [RHQ]’"
God is very wise [IDM] and very powerful;
no one who has tried to challenge God has been able to win.
Poder sobre tudo
O Senhor reina sobre as nações, sustenta os oprimidos e manifesta seu poder tanto no julgamento quanto na redenção.
By his great power he rules forever,
and he keeps watching all the nations to see what things they do,
so those nations that want to rebel against him should not be proud.
(Think about that!)
Listen to your people groaning while they are in prison,
and by your great power free those whom our enemies say that they will certainly execute.
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who really has power,
With his ◄strong hand/great power► he led them out;
his faithful love for us endures forever.
Poder para o seu povo
Deus fortalece os fracos e ressuscita os mortos. Seu poder opera em nós para que experimentemos vitória e transformação.
God, by his power, caused the Lord Jesus to live again after he died, and he will cause us to live again after we die, which shows that he is very concerned about our bodies.
It is true that Christ seemed to be weak when he was crucified {when people killed him by nailing him to the cross}. But it is also true that he now lives because God worked powerfully to bring him back to life. Similarly, as I serve God, I also am a weak human being as Christ was. But I also have a close relationship with Christ who is now alive again. And with his authority I will use God’s power to discipline you.
We faithfully teach the true message about Christ, and God gives us his power as we teach it. Like soldiers using weapons [MET] in a battle, we, by living righteously, defend God’s message and refute those who attack it.
As you always rely on the Lord to strengthen you, make use of every spiritual resource that God provides to resist the devil and all his powerful evil spirits.
Finally, at all times rely/depend completely on the Lord Jesus to strengthen you spiritually by his own mighty power.
So always trust in Yahweh,
because Yahweh, our God, is forever like [MET] a huge rock under which we are sheltered/protected/safe.
I created the light and the darkness.
I cause there to be peace and I cause there to be disasters.
I, Yahweh, do all those things."
because Yahweh your God is living among you.
He is mighty, and he will rescue/save you.
He will be very happy with you;
because he loves you, he will cause you to not be afraid;
he will sing loudly to rejoice over you."
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God that I expel demons, I am showing you that the power of God to [MET] rule people’s lives has come to you."
