[My dear brothers and sisters, dedicating your lives to singing for Jesus:] What an awesome concept, being filled up with ALL OF GOD’S FULLNESS! Is that possible? Well, Paul says:
“…that you may be FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.” (Eph. 3:19)
Paul is suggesting that this is possible, but how? First, let me show an example of someone who may have experienced this.
“…people brought the sick…so that at least PETER’S SHADOW might fall on some of them as he passed by. Crowds gathered…bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and ALL OF THEM WERE HEALED.” (Acts 5:15-16)
What will it take for this to happen today? Paul says:
“…I kneel before the Father…I pray that out of his glorious riches he may STRENGTHEN YOU WITH POWER through his Spirit…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…” (Eph. 3:14-17)
Why will it take so much power? Because…
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…” (John 10:10) The devil comes to Steal our confidence in God and kill our faith, so Paul says:
“I pray that you…MAY HAVE POWER…to grasp how wide…long…high…deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be FILLED TO THE MEASURE of all the fullness of God.” (Eph. 3:17-19)
LET THIS BE OUR PRAYER SO WE MAY BE USED OF GOD FOR HIS GLORY…
FaithLine, the bible says: “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may STRENGTHEN YOU WITH POWER through his Spirit…”
