And hath put all things under His feet,
and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the
church (the body of believers), which is His body,

that filleth all in all
Ephesians 1:22-23
by Carol Kindt – August 23, 2016 – This Scripture passage jumped off the page to me
this morning!
His body is to be the fullness
of Him! He declared it
so! We must agree with Him. Do you agree?
He said who He is and who
we are in Him.
He taught us everything we
need for our lifespan.
He equipped us for victory
in every situation.
He said what we have
because of His indwelling.
He said that if we love
Him, we will keep His commandments.
He rebuked the “religious”
and spoke and acted in “relationship”.
He said we would do what
He did; even more and greater things than He did.
He told us to occupy until
He returns.
He gave us spiritual
weapons of war to accomplish this.
He gave us the
fullness of Him…indwelling by His Holy Spirit!
How then, can the body of
believers be so divided?
How then, can man make up
his own rules and doctrine?
How then, can the body
operate in any other fashion than in the fullness
of Him?
How then, can what needs
to get accomplished by His commands…get accomplished?
How then, can the body
truly be His body? His body is who and
what He says it is to be!
Make a list of what He
did, as He said that we would do
those things.
Are you personally doing
those things?
Are your congregations
doing those things?
Are you in disagreement
with Him, regarding His parting instructions?
Are you willing to reflect
on the differences, as facts, not argumentatively?
When any believer operates
in as close to the fullness of Him
that is humanly possible, by the power of Holy Spirit, we witness, by the
Spirit, that one! We see the fullness of Him in that one, as we have the fullness of Him alive and operating in us
also.
When any Christian doesn’t
operate, or even desire to operate, in as close to the
fullness of Him that is humanly possible, by the power of Holy
Spirit, we witness, by the Spirit that one as well! We don’t see the
fullness of Him given permission in that one. A true believer recognizes the difference…the
“withheld”, the “unbelief”, the “skewed gospel”, “the man-made doctrine”, the
“missing power”, and so much more that is not reflecting the fullness of Him.
Agreement must come for the
fullness of Him to be effective.
Individual’s gifts have different strengths, yet if
not in the fullness of Him, then the
body is disjointed.
Let us not allow the devil to divide and
conquer!
Remember, they were ALL in one place, in one accord!!! and God showed up big time!!!
ONLY HIS FULLNESS FILLETH ALL IN ALL!!!
