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

It astounds me when I think of what Jesus has done for me. When I put my faith in him He raised me. He filled me. I am not going to get eternal life. I have eternal life now and death has become just an experience in the course of that eternal life. It has lost its sting! Hallelujah what a Savior!
Hallelujah indeed! So thankful and want to boldly live in the knowledge and thanksgiving of His gift to us! Blessings in living the fullness of the eternal life now. Thank You Pastor Lillie!
Not that we are supposed to judge faith by our feelings, but some days I just feel God’s Holy Spirit wash over me like a waterfall–and it may be just when I’m in the kitchen, cooking and puttering. He is SO amazing!! God bless you big today, Tom–love, sis Caddo
Amen sis, The Spirit of God is amazing and you CAN feel it. That is a feeling I have come to trust. Blessings and waves of the Spirit of God upon you my friend.
That scripture kind of takes my breath away, Tom. Praying to realize it more and more! Thank you and God bless you in all His fullness!
Absolutely Deb! I am amazed and breathless so often now as to the perfectness of God’s Word and it’s ability to live with and in us to help us mature into His Fullness. All praise to God and thanksgiving for the gifts Jesus Christ has given to us in The Spirit. Blessings and the breath of God to you my dear friend!
