Full Of God
Are you born again? Have you accepted what Jesus did for you on the cross? Do you believe that He died for you, took your place and rose again and ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father? If you have answered yes to all of these questions, you are full of God.
While Jesus was here on this earth, He made this statement in John 10:10 (author’s paraphrase from the Amplified Bible): I have come that you might have My life, the God-kind of life which is called Zoë life. I have come that you might enjoy that life and have it in abundance, to the full, until it overflows into the lives of those around you. He wasn’t just talking about having His life; He was talking about having His life in such proportions that it spills over into everything we do. This is reality. This is fact for every child of God. Jesus said it. He does not lie. He came that we might have and enjoy His quality of life while we are here on this earth. We don’t have to wait until we get to heaven.
The apostle Paul in Colossians 1:19 and 2:9,10 tells us that it pleased the Heavenly Father that in Jesus Christ should all the fullness dwell. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Then in the same breath, Paul tells us that we are complete in Jesus Christ, made full in Him, have His fullness of life. And if that is not enough, Paul said that the One Who is the fullness of God is the head of all principality and power. He is in you. Jesus Christ in you gives you the ability to take authority over all principality and power.
Just a few more verses down in chapter 2 of Colossians we read in verse 15 that this same Jesus Christ has spoiled (defeated, stripped of their authority) principalities and powers and triumphed over them in Himself and in the cross. That is the best news we will ever hear. We don’t need the world’s news. We need this good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Are you excited? Listen to this in Ephesians 3:19 in the Amplified Bible. Paul is talking about us as individuals in the Body of Christ being filled through all our being with the fullness of God. He is telling us that we may have the richest measure of God’s divine Presence and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself. Do you hear what Paul is saying here? You and I as members of the Body of Christ can experience the fullness of God and His Presence in us and through us. We are full of God.
In verse 23 of Ephesians 1 Paul tells us again that we are the Body of Christ, full of God, filled with the fullness of Him Who fills all in all. In His Body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself. Fullness-----meditate on this reality of God’s Presence in you.
Finally, in John 1:16 in the Amplified Bible, we find one of my favorite verses. Out of this fullness of God that is in us, out of the abundance of His Zoë life in us, we have received one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift heaped upon gift.
What more do we need! We have the fullness of God’s life in us. Speak these scriptures over yourself until you know that you know that you know Who is in you and what He wants to do in you and through you.
