- Welcome to The Rapid Pull, Daily Edition, where we provide a quick Biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The attribute of God known as Omnipotence, this is a compound word, as we saw before with Omni meaning all or total, and Potence meaning power.
- 00:26
- This is the idea that God is all powerful, able to do anything consistent with his nature.
- 00:32
- God does all that he wills to do, not all that he's capable of doing.
- 00:38
- The idea of Omnipotence is that it is working with the rest of his attributes.

- So when we look at the fact that he is all powerful, there's nothing that he could do that's not within his nature.
- 01:41
- In other words, he can't create a square circle, because that is illogical, and logic is part of his nature.
- 01:47
- So he can do that which is within his nature, but it doesn't mean he does everything that he could do. This podcast is part of the
