Our God is
Mighty in every way. The word, “Mighty” means that someone has power, strength
or force in large amounts. Isaiah said that God was not just any, god He is the
God of the universe; The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; The God of Israel. These
descriptive terms are a reference to the most supreme example of divine power ever displayed. Jesus is the
ultimate expression of divine power combined with divine love.

Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born, to us a son
is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God (El
Gibbor), Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will
reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will
accomplish this.
One of His names is Mighty God! The term here
used for God, El, is taken from a Hebrew or root, which signifies
strength; and perhaps a literal translation even of that title might be,
"The Strong one," the strong God.
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will
save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice
over you with singing.
