God is called almighty because he can do all things; "For God everything is possible".
Gods almighty power means that nothing can prevent Him from accomplishing His holy will. He created the universe from nothing, sustains all creation in existence, and governs the world with wisdom and love. Gods power is not arbitrary or destructive. Rather, it is always exercised in harmony with His perfect goodness, wisdom, and justice. When Catholics profess that God is almighty, they are expressing complete confidence in His ability to fulfil His promises and accomplish His plan of salvation. Gods power is especially revealed in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, through which He conquered sin and death. At the same time, Gods omnipotence does not mean that He acts contrary to His own nature. God cannot lie, sin, or cease to be God because such actions would contradict His perfect being. His almighty power is therefore the power of perfect truth, love, and goodness.
Of all the divine attributes, only Gods omnipotence is named in the Creed. God has universal power. He is almighty because he created everything, rules everything, and can do everything. Nothing is impossible with God.
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
