The Holy Spirit this morning in our communion time reminded me of the goal we as the followers and lovers of Jesus must aspire to walk in on a daily basis.The fullness of God! The Holy Spirit is with us to work with us to enable us to reach and achieve that goal in life. Ephesians.3:19.

Today the Holy Spirit wants us to examine carefully, then from our examination of what this would entail take stock by looking at what it will take to walk in that place. What are the things we will need to do that position us in a place where the Holy Spirit is able to fill us with all the fullness of God. Firstly in order to be filled with the fullness of something. We must firstly be emptied of what was in us first. We then must allow ourselves to eat and drink so much of what we want in order to be filled completely with it until it completely saturates our whole being. Isaiah.25:6.

So in order to be filled with all the fullness of God you need to be so full of the Holy Spirit that He has complete control and dominion of who you are. To the extent that none of you is visible anymore, but what becomes visible in you is the Holy Spirit in terms of His nature, character and manifestation in everything you say and do. Acts.6:8.

In order to fully grasp what the Holy Spirit is saying to us today let us look at Ephesians.3:16-19 which reads these words: that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Just feast on the progression of truth that the Apostle Paul points out is available to each follower and lover of Jesus. The Holy Spirit has the responsibility to grant to us everything according to the riches of Christ’s glory which He has access to for our benefit. He is empowered by Jesus to bestow every  equipment and grace necessary to accomplish the will of Jesus in our lives. John.16:14.

The Lord does not want us to experience the limitations or little portions of His glory but the riches of His glory. So don’t ever be satisfied with snippets of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in your lives, but pursue the ultimate goal of God’s fullness manifested in you.

This amounts to everything that the Lord owns and possesses, which is everything. Hebrews.1:2 & 3. Think carefully what this means for you. All wisdom, all knowledge, all understanding, all might, all counsel, all ability to judge impartially without fault by the Spirit, all ability to decide with equity for the meek on the earth, all authority to speak with the rod of your mouth and through your lips slay the wicked by executing all righteousness and faithfulness with which you are girded. Isaiah.11:4 & 5.

In addition to this all the miraculous power of God to work signs, wonders and extraordinary miracles that no eye has seen, nor ear heard or any heart ever considered possible what the Lord can and will do in any given moment of time through a human follower and lover of Jesus. John.14:12.

This is reserved for the person who empties himself of self and makes his vessel available for God through the Holy Spirit to fill Him with Himself so only the Holy Spirit can be seen at  work in your life. Romans.8:29.

It is a staggering thought to imagine but it is real and attainable that the Holy Spirit truly wants us to walk in that place of the fullness of God so that the name of Jesus is magnified on the earth. John.1:16. As you can see from this word that it is the Holy Spirit that grants this privilege to you as Jesus’s choice for your life to be strengthened with might through the Holy Spirit in your inner man. So loaded with God to the point where all any human can see in you is Jesus at work.

None of self but all of the Lord. That is where Jesus wants us walking and that is why He gave Himself to death so we could now live in that place of life on earth as His representatives, loaded and clothed with all His glory.

Let us through His abundant grace allow our hearts to be stretched further in this truth. That Christ the Anointed One may dwell in us, that is the anointing of the anointed One living in us through faith. The faith of Jesus which the Holy Spirit works in us that cannot be denied an answer and through whom nothing is impossible. Galatians.2:20.

The Lord wants us living in a place where we are so rooted and grounded in the love of God that our comprehension spills over to the full extent in width, length, breadth and height of the love of God which surpasses knowledge in order to be filled with all the fullness of God.

This is exactly where Jesus wants all His followers and lovers to walk in on a daily basis so that His name and kingdom are visible on the earth. The Lord Jesus in heaven forever lives to make continuous intercession for us to see that this reality is manifested in our lives here on earth. Romans.8:27.

We therefore choose to yield ourselves to experience the full splendor of this reality in our lives on the earth to glorify His wonderful name.

This means that whatever we need to give up by surrender of ourselves to embrace this truth we submit to in order that the Lord will have His way in us.

The Apostle Paul makes this clear in Philippians.3:7-11 which reads these words:  But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

The Apostle Paul was saying I lay down all my achievements in life to gain what Jesus has for me which is being filled with all the fullness of God so my life reflects only what Jesus desires for me and not my desire for my life which in truth will amount to nothing anyway. No matter how great I think it is in human terms. It can never match what God desires for me to have and experience through the name of Jesus.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words your heart will explode with joy to receive every grace necessary to walk in the reality of this truth as lay down everything that has prevented you from believing what thus saith the Lord for your life is. May your singular pursuit become walking in this place the Lord has prepared for you by the Holy Spirit.

Let your heart be so stirred to action that you follow completely after the Voice of the Holy Spirit to guide you to walk in this place as you become God’s gem banner sparkling over the nations so He has full glory from your life in Jesus name. Amen. 

Have a productive, fruitful day that exemplifies the gem banner the Lord has made you to sparkle over nations in Jesus name. Amen.
