Getting Filled With All The Fullness Of God!

"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 fuel or gasoline.  When you realize how much God loves you and you feed on His love for you, you will 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 blessing 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, prosperiety and success in your life!  Don't live in lack and affliction...you and I serve a most-loving God...and Jesus is Jehovah Jireh...Jehovah Rapha...Jehovah Nissi!

God Loves You and I Love You!

Pastor Erwin
