Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, December 20th.

Scripture makes it clear, God has everything completely under his control. Today, we are reminded

to trust the Lord for the perfect solution for every issue. Here's part two of God is able.

The God of the Bible is not the God many people talk about.

The God of the Bible is not some force. He is not some grandfather sitting up in heaven just waiting

remove the name of Jesus, if they eliminate him, if they refuse to talk about Jesus Christ,

they are not talking about the God of the Bible because the God of the Bible says,

the only way you're going to know me is through my son, Jesus Christ. Now, if we're talking about that kind of God,

then the question is, is God able in my circumstances? Is he able to bring me through them? Is he able

Jehovah God. Now, you know, for example, today, what circumstance you would change if you could,

or what circumstance you want God to bring you through or whatever the situation,

what needs you may have. So what I'd like to do is to take you through the scriptures and give you

some examples of very specific promises where the Bible says, God is able, God is able,

God is able, God is able. And somewhere along this, you're going to find yourself and maybe something that you are

dealing with. So I want us to begin with the basic one, and that is that God is able to save. Now,

there are people who'll tell you, well, I don't believe I can be saved because, because of sins in their

past, or because of some particular sin that they've done, or because they see themselves so
