Lesson 15 – God is Omnipresent

With the “OMNI”s God has the:
✓	CREDIBILITY to know what needs to be done = Omniscience
✓	CAPABILITY to do something about it = Omnipotence
✓	AVAILABILITY to be wherever he needs to be = Omnipresence
Hebrews 13:5; John 3:19; Psalm 139:7-12

Four Implications of Omnipresence
1. God cannot be contained in a building or place – 1 Kings 8:27
2. God cannot be localized in a city or nation – Ezekiel 48:35
3. God cannot be reduced to an image or statue – Exodus 20:4-5; Colossians 1:27
4. God cannot be avoided, whether we believe Him or not – Genesis 16:13; Revelation 6:16

Three Unshakeable Truths of God Omnipresence
● God is always present ANYWHERE in the universe – Jeremiah 23:24
● God is near to ANYONE who draws near to Him – Matthew 28:20; Romans 10:6-8
● God is always there ANYTIME, even in the worst moments of life – 2 Kings 6:16-17; Psalm 23:1-4
