Fullness

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height (of capacity); that ye might be FILLED WITH A-L-L THE FULLNESS OF GOD” Ephesians 3:17-19

What a magnificent thought .... to be filled with all the FULLNESS of God.

A balloon is an great object to use when thinking on the "FULLNESS of God." See you can take a balloon and blow some air into it and say the balloon is filled with air. Yes the balloon indeed is filled with air just as the many that get filled with the Holy Ghost! But the balloon as the many have they reached their capacity of being filled?

I think not after seeing Paul prayed that the Ephesians be filled with ALL the FULLNESS of God.

They that hungry and thirst will indeed receive more and more of Him just as Paul points out in ---->But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18

Not all will hungry and thirsty the same way just as the measure of God's grace is poured in one another in different measurements.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith....For... all members have not the same office ... Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, ... Romans 12:3-8

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ephesians 4:7

Let the grace of God draw the hungry and thirsty unto Him in the measurement He has given so that they will know it is by GRACE and GRACE alone!

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, MAKETH INCREASE (enlargement) OF THE BODY unto the edifying of itself in love” Ephesians 4:16,17

GLORY unto God for the head of the body supplieth the body with the needed grace so that it can increaseth with the increase of God. (Colossians 2:9)

See Paul pointed out in Ephesians chapter four that God has placed ministry-gifts in the body of Christ “for the PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS... till we all come... unto a PERFECT MAN, unto the measure of the stature of THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST” (Ephesians 4:11-16). Thus we can see that it is only in perfection that one can know THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST.

I understand why Paul said he has "... been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me." Galatians 2:20

For the very grace that called Paul calls each one of us and some more than others but we must not let pride have its way within us for GRACE does not help the prideful but the humble. (James 4:6)

The sons of God MUST press on and allow the FULLNESS of God fill them so that by them He may be ALL IN ALL! In His Word I see His will for all and as so my heart prayer is that God’s sons become aware that there is yet before them the full comprehension of what truly is the breadth, length, depth and height of that realm available to them where abides ALL THE FULLNESS OF HIM.

Don't sell out to the flesh for all it has to offer is death. BUT RATHER SELL OUT TO LIFE and allow the LIFE OF GOD to fill ALL and ALL in you!
