WHOLE!

EPHESIANS 3:19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.

FULLNESS= full number- full measure, that which has been completed. The word describes a ship with a full cargo and crew and a town with no empty house.
(play-row-mah) strongly emphasizes fullness and completion!

There is an old song that says, “till you have known the love of God”. I don’t think a Christian would argue with me saying no word can describe the love of God and to walk in fellowship with him. It's better felt than told is the only way I can describe it. Everybody should know who Jesus is and to know his love, warmth and to feel his loving arms around them and have him dry away there tears. No wonder Katherine Kuhlman’s mother look up at her after receiving the Holy Ghost and said “Go tell the world about this”.
Many teach that the fullness of Christ is to be super human and to perform great miracles. Which miracles are a part of the believer’s everyday lives. There is also a power that comes in the believers life’s after receiving the Holy Ghost according to Acts 1:8. There is also a completion that should be in one’s life. The word completion according to Webster means= having all parts or elements. In other words not lacking anything complete or whole, FULL. This does not describe many Christian today, does it? They go through the motions felling empty, knowing that something is missing. God is wanting and trying to get us to that place, but most just don’t have time for the process. As I have said many times before that just a little church on Sunday is all of the God that they want or need. Oh if people knew what it is to die out to self and allow Jesus to be all in all in their lives. I mean not to know of him but to be intimate with and to walk in real fellowship with him just as Adam did in the cool of the day (Gen 3:1). For the most they don’t even know what there calling and purpose in the body of Christ is. Just as the children of Israel wander in the wildness 40 years so are many in the body of Christ just wandering. Every person in the body should take the time to lay them self on the alter and fellowship with the master of there souls. He want us full and complete and lacking nothing. It amazes me as an evangelist, which has prayer lines for people to come up in the lines. You ask them what they need and they say “I don’t know, but I need something”! Some come just to feel the anointing on there bodies, but sad to know they can experience the same anointing in there prayer closet or just lifting there hands in real worship at home or in services! It’s time for the body to quit settling and go after the fullness of God. To let nothing satisify us till we are complete and lacking nothing in the spirit- amen!

APPEITIE FOR GOD

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Appetite= web says a natural desire for satisfying some want or need esp. for food.
The term hunger and thirst means an extreme or intense desire for something, here it refers to the righteousness of God. The children of Israel lost their appetite for God and the things of God many times. The lord would be forced to send judgment just to get their attention and bring them back to Him. 2Thessalonians 2:3…there came a falling away first. Paul does not say that people would stop coming to church for they are filling up where there is entertainment. Where there is a form and a fashion without the presences of God, man-made. But I believe he is saying they will lose their appetite or desire for God. A dear lady of God Mother Harris (97yrs) who just went home to be with the Lord. She lived during the depression and told me how they went 21 days without food. She said they would eat green plums or almost anything to just stop the hunger and the pain in her stomach. She had a strong desire just for food, any food. When I god saved over 30’s yrs ago, I had an appetite for God like Mother Harris had only mine was spiritual! I could not read his word enough or go to church enough. The more I ate the things of the Lord the more I wanted them. I wore the cover off my first bible in six months. I would not stop and still have not got enough of the Master. I did not stop till I was sanctified and filled with heaven’s sweet Holy Ghost speaking in other tongues. It did not take ten yrs; it only took three months because of my appetite for God. If we are not filled with God’s righteousness, it’s because we are not hungry enough.
Psalms 84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh crieth outh for the living God. In other words I want make it without you God. I see people that act like they will not make it if they don’t get a new car or concerts tickets. If they miss the big game they will faint. Young people and the newest game system, but not for the living God. It like that relationship just does not matter,
Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Why are we not finding him could be we are not searching with our whole heart our whole desire? In Ephesians 3:19 talks of being “filled with all the fullness of God”. That word fullness means a full number- full measure, that which has been completed. The word describes a ship with a full cargo and crew and a town with no empty houses or like my suitcase when packing for the mission field. The gr. word strongly emphasizes fullness and completion! This does match our church world today. Just a little church on Sunday is all the God we need and don’t won’t to be bother anymore. It’s because we have lost our appetite for the Master and His great work. His high praises does not move us anymore. So therefore we need something to stir our flesh. Most don’t even know their place in the body of Christ or their gifts or callings. May I say this is not the will of our great God for us. He wants us whole and complete in Him, the fullness! Let's get hungry for God again, stir our inner appetite for the most high and let’s work for the kingdom while we can!

Special Note: We are doing a good bit of traveling here in the states so please say a pray for us and the work that the Lord has entrusted us with, Thank You!
