It’s Just In Him
Pastor Carolyn J. Blue
Acts 17: 27-30
KJV
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
NLT
27 “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. 28 For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your[g] own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ 29 And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.
30 “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.
It’s Just In Him! You ever met someone or been around someone who does something a certain way, and you say it’s just in Him! I’m reminded of a time when my daddy would always get around other people and he would just have to tell everybody about my past when I was a little girl and I would beg my dad that everything that you know! I will be like that’s so so long ago you know and your version is a little different from my version anyway. But how many of y’all know that it was just in him? He just had to tell it and he wasn’t gonna be satisfied and he told all of my friends everything about me but when I was a little girl before the Lord changed me! It was just in Him!
In that happens in life, you know people do things because it’s just in them whether it’s good bad or different. It’s just them.
Tonight we’re gonna find out that God does things and he blesses us and he he heals us and he delivers us and he sets us free not because of any good thing that we’ve done or that we do or will ever be able to do but because it’s just him!
Anybody in here tonight? Glad about the fact that God is a healer because it’s Just in Him.
Are you glad tonight that God is a Waymaker because it’s just in him!
Aren’t you glad tonight that God is a miracle worker because it’s just in him!
We find tonight that it doesn’t matter how great things are going in our life. It doesn’t matter what we have accomplished. It doesn’t matter how much money we may have. It doesn’t matter how many houses we may own. It doesn’t matter anything about us on tonight, but it’s all because of who he is and it’s just him.
In our lesson tonight,Paul tells us that it is God’s purpose was for the nations to seek after Him.
He desires for us to seek after Him, and for us to feel our way toward him and find him— the Bible says we must find Him while He may be found!!!
The good thing about God is that He’s not far from any one of us. The scripture says to ask and He will answer, knock and the door would be open, seek and we shall find Him!
This lets us know that He’s close to us and all we have to do is find Him. It’s Just In Him to be there!!!
We are nothing without him, and we are everything with him and we can do all things because of him!
The Bible says that For in him we live and move and have our being, which means we exist.
As some of your[g] own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ 29 And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.
30 “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, He literally blinked His eyes on our wrong doing because of His love for us! but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.
It’s Just In Him!!!
