Today’s Scripture: and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19 ESV
Paul was attempting to explain this mystery to the Ephesians over two thousand years ago and this is mostly still a mystery today. Do we really grasp what being filled with the fullness of God is all about?
In Ephesians 3:9 we are reminded that God created ALL things. All includes you and me. Paul tells us that Jesus took us with Him to heavenly places in Ephesians 2:6. “and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,” (ESV)
He did not say he will raise us but that He DID. Do we understand this mystery? With God now; filled with His fullness now. We are alive in Christ and He is alive in us. The Spirit of God lives in us now.
Will you accept the fullness of God and the power and strength of the Spirit that is in you today?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being in me now. Help me to understand and grasp Your fullness. I believe Jesus has brought me into Your Heavenly places and I want to live Your fullness now. Guide me with Your Holy Spirit to fully know You and be used by You fully. Amen

Amen Tom. My lead pastor likes to say we are not waiting for eternal life , if we have accepted Christ we have eternal life. I think this is part of the fullness of God life becomes an experience in which death is only a momentary event.
Now! Now! Right this very minute! Now! Thank you, Tom.
What a wonderful confirmation. I was just reading this morning in a book called Jesus+nothing=everything. And it was talking about Jesus being filled with the fullness of God. Thanks, Tom . . .God bless you!
