Today I am sharing the conclusion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on being filled with all the fullness of God.

The Lord wants us to be so established in His love that we are able to comprehend, together with all the saints, the width, the length, the depth, and the height of the love of Christ, that is the love that surpasses knowledge. This reality of the full scope of the love of God is not merely an intellectual understanding of God’s love. It is a reality that must become so deeply established in our hearts that it influences our entire lives.

As we become rooted and grounded in His love, our capacity to receive and experience the fullness of God is enlarged. We begin to comprehend more deeply the immeasurable nature of His love and the full extent of what He desires to accomplish in us. The ultimate goal, as stated in Ephesians.3:16–19, is that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. This is exactly the position where Jesus wants His followers and lovers to walk daily. He desires His name and His Kingdom to be visible on the earth through people who are filled with His life, rooted in His love, and governed by His Spirit.

Jesus, our Lord, forever lives in heaven to make continual intercession for us. So we must therefore embrace the truth that He desires us to experience the fullness of His glory in our lives here on earth. Our response to this privilege must be to yield ourselves to this reality, by allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work in us, so that the splendour of the Lord may be revealed through our lives for the glory of His wonderful name.

If we desire to be filled with all the fullness of God, we must be willing to surrender whatever stands in the way of His purposes. This means we must give up our insistence on having our own way, by allowing the Lord to determine what our lives should become. Whatever we need to lay down to embrace His truth, we must be willing to submit that thing to Him.

The Apostle Paul gives us a powerful example in Philippians.3:7–11 of how this process looks by saying: “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.”

Paul was willing to count everything he had previously regarded as gain as loss for Christ. His overriding desire was to gain Christ, and be found in Him, and know Him more deeply, including the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. This is the attitude we must embrace because we must be willing to lay down our achievements, accomplishments, ambitions, and personal claims to greatness so that we may gain what Jesus desires for us.

I lay down all my achievements in life to gain what Jesus has for me which is to be filled with all the fullness of God, so that my life reflects what Jesus desires for me rather than what I desire for myself. No matter how great our accomplishments may appear in human terms, they cannot compare with what the Lord desires us to experience. Our personal ambitions and achievements cannot match the riches of His glory or the fullness of what He wants to manifest through our lives.

Therefore, we must surrender everything that prevents us from believing and embracing what the Lord has declared concerning our lives. We must choose Christ above every competing pursuit and allow the Holy Spirit to have His way in us. My prayer for you today is that, as you hear these words, your heart will be filled with joy unspeakable, full of glory and stirred to receive every grace necessary to walk in the reality of this truth. May you be willing to lay down everything that has prevented you from believing what the Lord has declared concerning your life.

May your singular pursuit become to walk in the place of fullness that the Lord has prepared for you through the Holy Spirit. Let your heart be so stirred to action that you follow completely after the voice of the Holy Spirit by allowing Him to guide you into the fullness of God’s purposes, as He makes you a vessel through which the Lord’s glory is revealed. May your life become the Lord’s gem banner, sparkling over the nations, with a life that radiates His nature, character, wisdom, power, and love, so that He receives full glory through you.

The goal is not simply for us to experience more of God for our personal satisfaction, but it is for us to become so completely filled with Him that the world can see Jesus at work through your life and His Kingdom becomes more visible on the earth. May your day be more productive and fruitful, as you exemplify the gem banner the Lord has made you to be, sparkling over the nations for His glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I declare that being filled with all the fullness of God is my daily pursuit, and I will no longer settle for snippets or limited manifestations of His glory when the Holy Spirit is working in me to bring me into the riches of the Lord’s fullness. According to Ephesians.3:16–19, I receive the strengthening of my inner man through the Holy Spirit, and I declare that Christ dwells in my heart through faith.

I am being rooted and grounded in the love of God, and my heart is being enlarged to comprehend the width, length, depth, and height of the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. I declare that the Holy Spirit is filling me with all the fullness of God, and His nature, character, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, might, counsel, and power are being manifested through my surrendered life. I will not depend on my own strength or human ability, but I will yield myself completely to His rule and direction.

I declare that the faith of Jesus is at work in me through the Holy Spirit, and I will believe what the Lord has declared concerning my life and obey His instructions, knowing that His power is greater than my every human limitation. My life will not be governed by fear, self-reliance, or the pursuit of personal greatness, but by the purposes of Jesus and the leading of His Spirit. Like the Apostle Paul in Philippians.3:7–11, I count everything as a loss for the excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

I lay down my achievements, ambitions, and personal claims to greatness so that I may gain Christ, know Him more deeply, and experience the power of His resurrection. I choose the fullness of God’s purpose over every pursuit that competes with His will for my life. I declare that I am becoming a vessel through which the glory of Jesus is revealed on the earth, because the Holy Spirit is working in me so that my words, actions, decisions, and character increasingly reflect the life of Christ.

I decree that His wisdom will direct me, His love will establish me, and His power will work through me to fulfil His purposes. I declare that I will never be satisfied with a life that merely speaks about the Lord’s glory. I will yield myself to the Holy Spirit so that His glory becomes visible through my life. I am being prepared to demonstrate His Kingdom, reveal His righteousness, and become a blessing to the nations.

I declare that I am the Lord’s gem banner, being prepared as a part of His Royal Diadem to sparkle over the nations for His glory. There will be none of self, but all of the Lord! I receive the grace to surrender my heart completely, to follow the voice of the Holy Spirit, and walk in the fullness of the Lord’s plan that Jesus desires for me. I decree that my life will magnify the wonderful name of Jesus, and He will receive all the glory in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
