Getting Filled With All The Fullness

When you are conscious of how much God loves you and you become filled with the fullness of God, God doing exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think, according to the power that works in you.

Written by Joseph Prince

 

When God made you, He designed you to run at optimal level when you are filled with His love, like a car that runs at its best when it is filled with the right kind of petrol or gasoline.

“To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” - (Ephesians 3:19)

We would all like to experience more health, prosperity and success in our lives.

God, being God, has all of these things, won’t you agree?

So, to be full of God is to be full of health, prosperity and success.

But how does one become full of God?

In the past, I was told that to be “filled with all the fullness of God”, I had to fast a certain number of days, pray a certain number of hours and speak in tongues incessantly!

I am not belittling fasting, praying or speaking in tongues, but to be filled with all the fullness of God is not about what you do.

It is not even about your love for Christ.

It is actually about knowing the love of Christ!

No one ever told me that if I knew how much God loves me and focused on His love for me, I would be full of Him.

When God made you, He designed you to run at optimal level when you are filled with His love, like a car that runs at its best when it is filled with the right kind of petrol or gasoline.

When you realize how much God loves you and you feed on His love for you, you will be supernaturally filled with the fullness of God.

And to be full of God is to be full of everything God is to you and has for you.

To be full of God is to come to a place of life, health, peace, prosperity — total wellness.

Also, when you are conscious of how much God loves you and you become filled with the fullness of God, what follows is the next verse — God doing exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think, according to the power that works in you. (Ephesians 3:20)

You will experience the tremendous blessings of God exploding in your life!

You will become a blessing magnet!

So as God’s beloved, continue to be nourished by His love for you, and experience more health, prosperity and success in your life!

The Sky is not the Limit

When the truth of Christ's unlimited presence dwelling within us is actualized in our spirit man, we are able to live life in an exceedingly abundant state of prosperity. 

.

As partakers of the divine nature, we release God's powerful activities in and through our lives - filled with all the fullness of God, we are then able to gain understanding from another higher, more advanced spiritual dimension in God. Tapping into the imaginative, creative, all-knowing mind of Christ gives us the ability to gain the supremacy of wisdom to move above and beyond all that we can ask, think or even imagine

by Barbie Breathitt

 

The sky is not the limit; it's just the beginning!

I was attending one of Cindy Jacob's speaking engagements in late 2018 when the Lord spoke to me.

The following is a paraphrase of what He imparted:

My prophets need to begin building me a platform that is large enough for Me to inhabit, to house My glory.

My prophets keep postponing my coming, even with the terminology they use to prophesy — there will be a time coming, the new season will begin or in two years from now this or that will happen.

When My prophets prophesy in this manner, because I honor the words of My prophets, I cannot manifest in a NOW way.

I want to manifest in the NOW! I am limited to only manifesting in measure because of the small platform they build me with their words.

I want My people to begin to exaggerate My Word, so that I can begin to enter into and expose my granger with a NOW word.

My prophets are worried that if they prophesy a NOW word, I will not come, or it will not happen.

Their fear of embarrassment restrains Me. But My Son Jesus became of no reputation. He only did what He saw Me (the Father) doing.

I want my prophets to speak what they hear Me saying and do what they see Me doing.

He then brought me to passages in Ezekiel where God instructed him to command dry bones to come alive, to prophesy as He commanded (see Ezekiel 37).

When we prophesy as God commands, a certain sound is released, a shaking ensues and a coming together occurs, and the body of Christ resurrects out of the wilderness as a unified body.

God is calling us to an elevated spiritual level of operation as individuals and united as the Bride of Christ.

Spiritual Fourth Dimension

In order to see what the Father is doing and to prophesy as He commands, we must operate in the spiritual fourth dimension, not the worldly third dimension.

We must transition from operating out of a gifting level into operating out of the glory level (see Revelation 4:5).

Where we have normally operated in a gifting or anointing level, we are being called to step into a level of Christ ministry, the Seven Spirits of God office level of fullness where all the limitations are taken off.

God is always communicating with us whether we are aware or not. God communicates to us through His Spirits.

The distinct dimensions of God's Spirits are: the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of the Revelation Knowledge of Christ and the Reverential Fear of the Lord.

All seven dwell within the Believer at varying degrees.

God created a specific system of communication for each individual person, a personal vocabulary depending on how one interprets.

He speaks in puns, parables and symbols.

When the disciples asked Jesus why He spoke in parables, Jesus explained that symbols had been given unto them (us) to understand the Kingdom of God.

We can be enlightened by God's symbolic language, whereas the world is confused by it (see Matthew 13:10-17).

God speaks in parabolic phrases, so that we can come into the knowledge of God (spiritual realm) through the Spirit of Understanding in order to gain wisdom to move in His counsel, to move in His might.

Being born of the Spirit, the Word becomes alive to us. God can now speak to us through the Word, symbols, visions and dreams (see Job 33).

He finds different and distinctive ways to speak to each one of us, and He does not speak the same way every time.

God is very diverse (the multi-faceted wisdom of God).

Engage the Imagination

Understanding God's symbolic language is possible through the imagination. The imagination is the conduit so to speak.

God wants us to engage the imagination (the greater platform), so He can enter into it and express Himself in a much grander way to us than just by knowledge or by intellect.

The imagination brings in the creative dimension God wants to use, so that He can express Himself to each person individually and to meet our specific needs.

The imagination empowers us to live and experience life in a much grander way.

When we learn to live by our imagination, we will live life in abundance, in the best and the worst of times.

The creative use of our imagination causes us to aspire to reach our full potential.

By accessing God's supreme power, knowledge and wisdom through the Holy Spirit, we have the ability to operate as God designed us.

By gaining the understanding of God's mysteries concealed in the soul of our thoughts and spiritual dreams, we can live in the future dimensions of increase.

Accepting God's increase prepares us to step into and then steward the magnitudes of His multiplied blessings.

We know God as our Creator by becoming an heir of Jesus' divine nature.

The divine nature of God gives us the power to create things (in and through the imagination) not currently seen or known to exist.

Resting in the divine nature of God causes us to imitate God by producing a prosperous future.

There are many futures God has designed for us. Futures-in-waiting already exist in the realm of the Spirit for our imaginations to discover.

We have the power to choose which destiny we will fulfill in life.

Rise Up to Manifest His Glory

God is calling us to rise up as the Sons (and Daughters) of God in order to manifest His glory.

This is only possible with faith. Faith is a master key that creates and unlocks our internal doors and spiritual gateways.

It is one thing to have faith IN God; it is another to have the faith OF God.

The plane of faith and the degree of godly character we master determines the depth, height, width and breadth of the future we will choose to demonstrate.

Faith defines the levels of God's grandeur we will choose to exhibit in our lives.

So that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are also His offspring."

Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the divine nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.

Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:27-30).

As partakers of the divine nature, we release God's powerful activities in and through our lives.

God's boundless love and infinite intelligence dwells in the heart of those who believe in the reality of Jesus Christ as their personal Redeemer.

The Father of Glory comes to awaken us to a new day of opportunity.

The Holy Spirit opens the eyes of our understanding, and we are spiritually enlightened. When we are born again, godly revelation empowers us to see how to enter into the Kingdom of God in order to prosper and to fulfill all that God has purposed.

Believers are endued with the power of influence, authority and a commanding sway of godly presence.

We are called to reveal the mysteries of God that have been concealed in the hope of Christ.

The Eyes of Your Understanding

The futuristic visions that Christ projects within the Believer's imagination shows him or her how to operate in the riches of His glory.

Everything we could ever want, need or desire is in the realm of glory.

When we take on God's glorious image and likeness, we become part of His glorious inheritance.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:17-18).

The word understanding in the above passage is the Hebrew word bin.

It means to go before time has happened; to go into the future realm of the Spirit in order to see the plans God has to prosper us, so that we gain a godly understanding to correctly interpret the future.

If we, as the saints of God, are able to enter the future to see and understand the plans of God before they happen, we will be called upon by the kings and presidents from every nation of the world.

The Gentiles shall come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising (Isaiah 60:3).

The love of Christ Jesus dwelling in the imagination is the creative force that empowers us to access, know and surpass all the natural knowledge of this world.

When we become aware that we are being filled with all the fullness of God, we are then able to gain understanding from another higher, more advanced spiritual dimension in God.

The various attributes of the Seven Spirits of God are all unique master keys that give us entrance into the many mansions (states of being) of God's Kingdom.

When the truth of Christ's unlimited presence dwelling within us is actualized in our spirit man, we are able to live life in an exceedingly abundant state of prosperity.

We have been given access to the mind of Christ, to see Him for who He truly is, to know His full capacity and to obtain a broader dimension of the future.

Tapping into the imaginative, creative, all-knowing mind of Christ gives us the ability to gain the supremacy of wisdom to move above and beyond all that we can ask, think or even imagine.

People reached to touch Jesus’ physical garments and were healed. However, a physical item of clothing is limited. Jesus is speaking of a spiritual clothing of power that is available to each of us through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

How to Make the Most of Your Mantle from God

.

What God has for you is a gift of His grace - the very best He has to give. Just as Jacob gave his son Joseph a coat of many colors, your Father has given you unique and colorful gifts. Embrace and honor the unique spiritual gifts God has given to you; wear them and shine brightly. The power of the Holy Spirit can be released in a word of declaration, through prayer, a touch or an act of obedience. Foster the qualities of compassion, love and faith in your life. By faith, receive these from the Holy Spirit and practice walking in them. With the eye of faith, see the Holy Spirit upon you and surrounding you - see God’s power touching others wherever you go

Helen Calder   

“I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” (Luke 24:49 NIV)

I have always imagined being ‘clothed in the Spirit’s power’ to be like wearing a physical garment, for example:

·     Elisha had a mantle (cloak) that formerly belong to Elijah

·     People reached to touch Jesus’ physical garments and were healed

However, a physical item of clothing is limited. Its fabric can be felt and touched; it can be pulled at, or torn. Its properties cannot be transferred to another person.

In order to be given to another person, the wearer must remove it first.

In Luke 24, Jesus is not speaking of physical garments, but a spiritual mantling.

Vision of a Mantle

A few days ago, I had a vision of a mantle that challenged and intrigued me.

I saw a person clothed in a garment of many colors.

These were not set in distinguishable patterns; instead, the mantle shimmered with various colors at once. And it was translucent, filled with light.

This mantle did not have the properties of physical clothing but appeared to be fluid, as though made of liquid.

I saw people reach to touch the garment, and the substance of that robe flowed out like water to those who stretched towards it.

It was dynamic, full of life and power.

What I saw challenged my perspective and — as all prophetic insights should do — sent me back to God’s Word.

7 Ways to Make the Most of Your Mantle from God

Jesus is speaking of a spiritual clothing of power that is available to each of us through the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49). ^[1]

·     A ‘mantle’ is also a Scriptural symbol for a particular calling, ministry and anointing, given to individuals by God. ^[2]

Here are some Biblical insights I’ve been meditating on over the past few days.

If you believe God is stirring you about your own ‘mantle’, I encourage you to take time to study and pray further over each of these:

1. Know Your Mantle is Personal and Unique

The father in Jesus’ story of the prodigal son ordered his servants to clothe the son in the best robe (Luke 15:22). 

It was a long-fitting gown of great distinction.

What God has for you is a gift of His grace; the very best He has to give.

Just as Jacob gave his son Joseph a coat of many colors, your Father has given you unique and colorful gifts.

Peter wrote, ‘As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God’ (1 Peter 4:10, NKJV). 

That word translated “manifold,” which is poikilos in the Greek, means various or diverse colors (Strongs G4164). ^[3]

Don’t be intimidated by another person’s gift or calling, and don’t let your light be dimmed.

Embrace and honor the unique spiritual gifts God has given to you; wear them and shine brightly.

2. Be a Steward of Your Spiritual Gifts

‘As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.’ (1 Peter 4:10, NKJV)

The Greek word translated ‘steward’ is oikonomos (Strongs G3623). ^[4] 

It means the manager of a household affairs, who has the power to distribute the owner’s resources as needed.

What a powerful truth!

You are the ‘manager’ of your gifts from God and can choose to release the spiritual gifts God has entrusted to you.

You have the power to develop and grow those gifts, and faithfully distribute them, in the context of the church body (1 Corinthians 12) as well as your everyday life. ^[5]

3. Walk in Qualities that Release the Spirit’s Anointing

‘She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed” (Matthew 9:21, NIV).

‘Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong’ (Acts 3:6-7, NIV)

The power of the Spirit is released through faith on the part of the receiver, the giver, or both. 

Faith is intentional. Faith acts. 

The power of the Spirit can be released in a word of declaration, through prayer, a touch or an act of obedience.

Compassion is also related to the release of God’s power. ‘When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick’. (Matthew 14:14)

So, foster the qualities of compassion, love and faith in your life. By faith, receive these from the Holy Spirit and practice walking in them.

4. Have a Vision of Walking in Increasing Power

‘As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.’ (Acts 5:15 NIV)

Peter walked and his shadow healed the sick. The mantling of the Spirit was upon him in a powerful way, surrounding him in a wide area.

May you ever desire to grow and the fullness of what God has for you.

With the eye of faith, see the Spirit upon you and surrounding you. See God’s power touching others wherever you go.

No atmosphere is untouched or immune to God’s power upon your life.

5. Highly Value Commissioning

‘They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them… Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.’ (Acts 6:6,8, NIV)

Something powerful takes place in commissioning.

After the apostles laid hands on the deacons, this new band of leaders operated in great power with signs and wonders.

Timothy also received gifts of the Spirit through the laying on of the Apostle Paul’s hands (2 Timothy 1:6) and through a time of presbytery (1 Timothy 4:14).

Be positioned in faithful service to others.

Recognize the power of having the gift and call of God on your life affirmed by leaders, both personally and as part of a group or church body (1 Corinthians 12).

6. Stay Full of the Holy Spirit

‘And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit’ (Ephesians 5:18, NKJV)

The Apostle Paul exhorts us to ‘be filled with the Spirit’, using the present continuous tense of the Greek verb pleroo, ‘to be filled’ [6].

On one hand, the Bible tells us that we are filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 1:17-23, 3:18-19) and that He gives the Spirit ‘without measure’ (John 3:34).

But we also learn in Scripture that God wants us to pursue encounters with Him, and to seek more of His Spirit and His power. ^[7]

Both are true!

So rejoice in the fullness of the Spirit that you already have —   and stay positioned for fresh encounters with Him.

Your Father is a God of liberality, and ‘without measure’ means there is no end to the supply of His Spirit to you.

7. Choose a Wardrobe that Honors God Every Day

‘… put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness’ (Ephesians 4:24b, NIV)

In receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, God has supernaturally clothed us with His power (Acts 2).

The New Testament also makes clear that we have a responsibility to cast off our ‘old self’ with its sinful ways and to wear (put on) our new life in Christ (Ephesians 4:20-32, Romans 13:12).

When we operate in the gifts and power of the Spirit, people are receiving from God through us, so walking in integrity is vital.

Make it your heart’s desire to be sensitive to the person of the Holy Spirit and to live a lifestyle that is compatible with His holiness.

This is not through your own strength, but through the grace which He freely supplies (Romans 8).

See yourself walking in that colorful and powerful garment that is the Person and Presence of the Holy Spirit and His anointing on your life.

And choose a wardrobe that honors Jesus every day.

Notes:

[1]The Greek word translated ‘clothed’ or ‘endued’ (NKJV) in the Holy Spirit is endyo (G1746). It is used in other parts of the New Testament to describe putting on physical clothing, including the story of the prodigal son, and is also used in the symbolic sense. Matt 6:24, 27:31, Mark 1:6, 6:9. Luke 15:22. For more examples, see https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G1746&t=KJV

[3] Strongs G4164 (I recall learning this from John Paul Jackson)

[4] Strongs G3623

[5] In 1 Tim 4:14-15 and 2 Tim 1:6-7, Paul holds Timothy personally responsible for the growth and stewardship of his gifts and ministry. See the article ‘Break Out of Limitations and Grow Your Spiritual Gifts’

[6] Strongs G4137

[7] Acts 4 is an example of this. See ‘Pentecost and the Language of Hunger for God’
