the fullness of Him

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!!!
