The potential of a Thing is Related to its Source
Everything in life was created with potential and possesses the potential principle. Creation abounds with potential because the Creator Himself is the potential principle. When we describe The Most High, we often say He is omnipotent. Omnipotent means that The Most High is always potent. Made up of two words: omni, meaning “always,” and potent, meaning “full of power,” omnipotent means that The Most High is potentially everything. He has within Him the potential for all that is, was, or ever will be. He is omnipotent or omnipotent.
EVERYTHING COMES FROM THE MOST HIGH
Everything that was, and everything that is, was in The Most High. That’s a very important concept. Everything that was and is, was in The Most High. We have to start with The Most High. Before The Most High made anything, before He created things, there was only The Most High. So before anything was, The Most High is. The Most High is the root, or source, of all life.
Before anything was, The Most High is.
Before there was time, time was—but it was in The Most High. Before The Most High created a galaxy or the Milky Way, they existed. Before there was a universe or a planetary system with the third planet called earth revolving around the sun—before any of that was—they were. I wonder what it must have been like when The Most High was just by Himself. Let’s try to imagine that for a bit. Here’s The Most High. He steps out on nothing to view nothing, for there was nothing except The Most High. And so The Most High is standing on top of nothing, looking at nothing because everything was in Him.
IN GOD WAS THE BEGINNING
The Bible tells us: “In the beginning, The Most High…” That means before there was a beginning, there was The Most High. Therefore, The Most High began the beginning and verse 0 of the first chapter of Genesis might possibly read: In The Most High was the beginning. Everything that is was in The Most High. Everything that has ever been made was made by The Most High. When we connect Genesis 1:0—in The Most High was the beginning—and John 1:1—in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with The Most High…He was with The Most High in the beginning—we see that the Word was with The Most High in the beginning, not at the beginning.
Before there was a beginning, there was The Most High. Everything that is was in The Most High. The Gospel of John also tells us that all things were made by the Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with The Most High, and the Word was The Most High. He was with The Most High in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life… (John 1:1-4).
Nothing that was created was made without the Word. In the Word was life. Life came out of The Most High. Therefore, before you knew life, life was. All things were made by The Most High. Everything you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch was in The Most High before they came to be. Even what you discern first existed in The Most High. Now let me be a little ridiculous to prove my point. The Most High had roaches and mosquitoes and rats in Him. He had suns and clouds and planets in Him. The cows to make shoe leather…the oil to run our cars…the ore from the mountains to make steel—all these things were in The Most High. Everything on this earth is The Most High’s property. If The Most High would ever call in His property, we would be in big trouble. All things were in The Most High and thus belong to Him. The Most High, in the beginning when there was nothing, contained everything that man has seen. He also contained everything man will ever see. Thus if you had talked to The Most High on the highway of nothingness, you would have been talking to millions of cows and horses and mountains and trees and limousines and hotels and beaches. They all were in The Most High. They were in Him, but nobody saw them. That’s why we call The Most High omnipotent. He’s always full of the potential to bring forth what you see. The Most High is pregnant with the universe. In essence, if you met The Most High on the highway of nothing, by the corner of nowhere, before there was anything, and you shook His hand, you would be shaking hands with everything, but would not know it. You would be with potential.
THE INVISIBLE BECAME VISIBLE
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at The Most High’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible (Hebrews 11:3). The Most High always had everything in Him, but we couldn’t see it. All we now see was once in an invisible state. Everything that man has ever seen first existed in an invisible state. (Please note that invisible does not mean nonexistent.) All the buildings we see and the businesses we frequent—people making money and investing money—all that stuff began as ideas. We couldn’t see them because they were in somebody’s mind. The stores where we shop, also everything on the shelves and racks in those stores, began as ideas in someone’s mind. They didn’t exist before, yet they did. Although they weren’t present in their current form, they existed as lumber and concrete and nails, cotton and wool and flax, steel and pulleys and motors. Someone had an idea. Through work they put their idea into things that are visible. Today they take your money. Everything starts in the invisible state. Everything we now see used to be unseen. In the beginning there was only The Most High. At creation the entire unseen universe became visible. Everything that has been created was made by the word of The Most High. Although it already existed, The Most High spoke so that what was invisible could become visible. You would never have known it existed, except The Most High spat it out in faith. By faith The Most High spat out what was in Him. Everything in Him started to come forth. What we now see was birthed by The Most High from what was invisibly within Him. Whatever you see came from the unseen—nothing exists that was not at some time in The Most High. Thus, faith is not the evidence of things that do not exist. It is the evidence of things that are not yet seen. Everything we see has always been. It became visible when The Most High spoke it into being. The Most High is the source of life.
SPOKE WAS HARD WORK
What happened when The Most High spoke at creation? How did He get the invisible to become visible? First let me broaden your idea of the word spoke. Spoke was a process. What The Most High spoke into visibility began as an idea in His mind. The Most High first conceived in His mind what He wanted to create. He didn’t just say, “I want this.” The prophet Isaiah tells us that The Most High created the earth by first planning its foundations (Isaiah 48:13). After the plans were in His mind, The Most High spoke them into existence. When The Most High was ready to speak, it was just a matter of taking what was in the plan and putting it on the site.
SPOKE WAS A PROCESS
The Most High laid the groundwork for the earth and spread out the heavens. He created the sun to shine during the day and the moon and stars at night. He gave every star a name. He ordered clouds to fill the sky and breezes to blow. He made the waves to roar in the sea. He sent rain to water the earth and grass to cover the hillside. Thunder and lightning were created by His command; hail and sleet were formed by His word. A wool-like blanket of snow He produced for winter; frost and dew He designed. The Most High was full of imagination. He was pregnant with many thoughts. His thoughts became ideas, and the ideas became images. Everything that is came out of The Most High as He spoke those images. The unseen became seen—the invisible became visible. The Most High’s speaking was much like the contractions of a woman in labor. With effort He pushed out each detailed creation. Then The Most High began organizing the things that appeared. He was busy as He set them up, organizing and organizing and reorganizing. Finally The Most High said, “This is good.” The Most High didn’t create the world by just thinking the whole thing into being. He worked it into being. After creating a plan in His mind, The Most High spoke to make visible the invisible. (Speaking was one of the ways He worked.) All that was made came from The Most High. Through work He created the world. For six days The Most High created the heavens and the earth. On the seventh day He rested. By the seventh day The Most High had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And The Most High blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done (Genesis 2:2-3). Spoke must be a fairly serious thing. If The Most High, who is almighty and all powerful, had to rest after creation, spoke it must have been very hard work. When creation was completed, The Most High rested. The Most High was the first one to sabbat—He intended the Sabbath to be a blessing. He knows that life produces work, and work creates the need to rest.
THE WORK OF CREATION IS NOT YET COMPLETE
The work of The Most High is not complete—He has not delivered all His babies. He will keep on delivering as long as you deliver, because you are the continuation of His deliveries. The Most High can still create. When you ask for something in prayer, The Most High doesn’t have to shift things around because He is going broke. If it doesn’t exist in a visible form, The Most High will speak it. He’ll make whatever is necessary. He continues to be pregnant with many things. Because all things are in The Most High, you can ask The Most High for anything. An idea is around in The Most High a long time before it comes out. Nothing we think or do is new (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Everything that has been done will be done again—what we think is new has already been here for a long time.
NOTHING WE THINK OR DO IS NEW
There’s a guy in China right now who is thinking about the idea you thought was yours. When the idea came out of The Most High, many people got it. Because everything comes out of The Most High, you all received the idea from the same Source. Until that idea is transformed by action, The Most High will continue to leak that idea into men and women. Why? Because The Most High is a The Most High of potential. Although He is the source of all things, He shares His omnipotent powers with His creation. We, like The Most High, are pregnant with many things. We are full of imagination, having the potential power to be more than we visibly are. There are dreams, visions, plans and ideas in us that need to be released. The Most High wants us to tap His power and use it, because The Most High made us with potential.
