The Fullness of God!

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.--Ephesians 1:21-23


Paul's first request was that our eyes would be enlightened to see the greatness of His plan...his second request... that we would know the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe...His third... that we would be able to comprehend His majesty.  To really see as Isaiah did.. the Lord..high and lifted up.

Girls,  let us be overcome by His majesty...let us stand in awe of the greatness of He who lives and reigns within our very own hearts.  Remember Jesus...the One whom God sent to die for us...the One who now lives to make intercession for us.  Remember the Man seated at the right hand of the throne of God...He identifies with us, sympathizes with us and completely and utterly understands all that we go through.  Behold the Son of God!  Focus on the greatness of His plan, the might of His power and the exceeding beauty of His holiness and majesty.  Take your eyes off of all your "issues" and "problems" and place them on the Lord of glory Himself.

Allow His Spirit to give you the understanding to comprehend even a teeny bit of what Paul has prayed.  My Jesus is above every name that is named in both heaven and earth.  This is My Jesus...I am His...He is the One that fights for me...sustains me...secures me and empowers me to live for Him.  He who is far above all rule and authority and power and dominion...not only in this age but also in the age to come has placed His banner of love over me.  My Beloved is mine and I am His.

His majesty should terrify us but He is a Father to us...His humility not only increases His greatness but also allows us to draw close to Him without fear.  In fact, it is His kindness that leads us to repentance.  Yes, my God is high above the nations and His glory above the heavens but He who dwells on high humbles Himself to behold the things that are on the earth.  He raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy out of the ash heap that He may sit him with princes.  My awesome God, who is rich in mercy and loves me with an everlasting love even when I was dead in trespasses and sin, made ME alive together with Him and raised me up together with His Son and has made me sit in together with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.  In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. I am filled with the One whose love passes all knowledge!   I am filled with the fullness of God!
