Fullness of God.

The Goal is fullness of God

Ephesians 3:14–19 (NKJV)

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 4:11–14 (NKJV)

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

Fullness of God: reflecting God in his fullness in our life., reflecting his light to the fullness of the capacity of our being.

Jesus Christ is the light, God wants his light to emnate in all aspect of our life.

The goal, is to reach that fullness, the light of God is fully reflect in our being, in our existence, in every aspect of our life.

God has separated us from the World for this purpose.

Psalms 4:3 “3 But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him.”

1 Peter 2:9–10 (NKJV)

9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

1 John 5:19 (NKJV)

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

The world is full of darkness because it is given over to the devil and his deeds.

So when we were in the world we reflected the darkness that is in the world. The degree may vary from person to person.

However God separated us from the world, we may be filled by him, and reflect him in the world: reflect his light.

The purpose is to reflect Christ in his fullness in this world.

How to Allow the Christ light to grow in you to the fullest.

1 John 1:1–7 (NKJV)

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—

2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—

3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

The light of God grows in us as we fellowship with him.

How do we fellowship with God.

Prayer

Communion with his word

Being filled with his Spirit

Prayer

Luke 9:28–31 NKJV

28 Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

The power of prayer to impart the light of God in us.

Moses and elijah were examples of this.

Satan fights our prayer life because he does not want us to be filled with fullness of God’s light.

The Word of God.

Psalm 119:130 NKJV

130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

John 17:14–17 NKJV

14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

When the desciples were seating at the feat of Jesus and hearing his word, light was being imparted to them.

The hearing of the word God imparts light into our souls.

Psalms 119:105 “105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”

Matthew 4:4 “4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ””

Colossians 3:16 (NKJV)

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Psalm 1:1–3 (NKJV)

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

Satan will do everythinghe can from people hearing or reading the word of God.

he knows that the lght of God is imparted into them through fellowship of his word.

The Spirit.

Ephesians 5:14–19 (NKJV)

14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

Galatians 5:24–25 (NKJV)

24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

We must get used to walking and living in the spirit of God.

Just as the scripture says man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, we also need to live in the spirit.

We must filled with the spirit of God conitinually, and walk in the spirit meaning we are led by the spirit of God, our desires and thoughts are in alignement with the spirit of God.

As we continue in this, we will come to the fullness of God. We will reflect God light to the fullest in our life.

Satan schemes

Matthew 5:14–16 NKJV

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Whataver light we have, the devil will try to supress it.

We must not hide or supress the light that is in us.

We must let it shine.
