The word for today is - Fullness !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Fullness !
 

Lets read Psalm 16:11, Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Now look at Ephesians 3:19, And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Wow, joy and love!  Get this, the word used for to know means to “know absolutely”, to feel, perceive, and experience. This means that we are not to just know about God’s love we are to experience it. This kind of love is the most awesome experience we can have; it is the very presence of God in us. This is the greatest pleasure that you are created to experience. As we continue to walk in this kind of love, we become filled with all the fullness of God. Love creates an atmosphere where God can dwell. Also read,Colossians 1:19, For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;and 2:9, For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Did you get that? It's speaking of the fullness of God in Christ. God desires to fill us with the fullness of Himself. The command of Jesus Christ, written down by Paul the Apostle in the book of Ephesians, "Be filled with the Spirit" the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit in you is proof of God’s love for you. Read 1 John 4:13,Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. Your faith is proof of your love for God. However, faith with out works is dead. Lets look at the power of the Holy Ghost. Remember this promise in Acts 2:39, For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Now that says the gift of the Holy Ghost is a promise to everybody who will ever be saved. That is a promise to the believers. It is the same thing that Jesus said to His disciples in Luke 24:49, And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:"The promise"! And Peter says at Pentecost, The promise is to you, too. It was promised to us apostles. The same promise is to you.' "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem," Jesus said, "until ye be endued with power from on high." That promise of power from on high, the promise of the gift of the Holy Ghost, is to you, to your children, and to everybody whom God ever calls. In Ephesians 1:13, Paul says,In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. Now, it is sealed, the Holy Ghost that God promised you, you may have it now, whose power you may have now, whose fullness you may have for soul-winning effort now. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
