God Omnipotent

There is but one power in the universe —God Omnipotent (all-power). And that power is exercised through man, made in the image and likeness of God and given dominion (Genesis 1:26). It manifests what appears to be either good or evil, according to what is in the consciousness of man (individually and collectively); but it is all the same power —God power. There is no evil power independent of man which is opposing God and which God (or man) must overcome.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
