Christ is the only one who fills it all, He fills me completely

From: March 27 – April 2, 2007 Study: # 487

TOPIC: “Christ is the only one who fills it all, He fills me completely” Ephesians 4:10 There is nothing that can fill a man but Christ. When He arrives in our lives He fills it completely. Before we used to so be empty. Our Lord Jesus came to fill our lives which were completely empty. In this life there is nothing that can fill us and if somebody knew this it was the Father, that’s why He made the decision to send His son to fill it all. When Jesus fills us there is joy, even in the midst of problems. When part of our lives is not filled it is because He has not arrived and we do not know him. If He is not in us there will be a great feeling of emptiness. There are some who like to say that they never feel anything and this is because they have walked away from God. Jesus is no longer there because one has stopped to pray, to seek him and walks in the flesh. We should always discover the Scriptures. It is there, the Bible is a treasure and we should read it. Jesus fills men completely. The Scriptures will bless us or condemn us, accuse us or deliver us. Are there not wise people among us who can judge right from wrong? Let us depend on Jesus entirely so that He will fill everything in us. Jesus paid a high price to fill our lives completely. No one can fill us; no mortal can fill another mortal. Christ died to fill us completely. He rose over all the heavens to fill everything. What mortal has this power? The one who fills us raised the first, the second and the third heaven. Paul in the stock, with his back whipped, bleeding, hungry, under all the anxiety in darkness, and under circumstances where there was nothing, he began to proclaim the name of the one who fills it all. Suddenly those doors opened, the yoke was broken and all was filled. Acts 16:23-26 Sometimes we say that we’re empty with such coldness. When we are not filled it is because the truth of Jesus Christ has not arrived in our lives. Maybe we have some knowledge, but He is not there. When we decide to kneel down before God and praise him like children, with all our strength, then we will be filled in everything. Sometimes we live thinking that the church has to carry us. He who descended as low as the earth, leaving His glory, His power, ascended to the highest heaven, He suffered the most profound humiliation, he gave himself, and we are not even capable of neglecting ourselves. We fail to recognize that He took all humiliation; He took the form of man, with our needs, weariness, hunger, etc. He didn’t have to do all this because we don’t deserve it. Having a human body He deprived himself of food and rest; He denied himself to fill everything in us. He humiliated himself to death and death of the cross, the most humiliating death because of His love for us. His name is above all names. He was here on earth and rose to the third heaven and filled it all. The Father received him and he now sits at the right of the Father. What do the angels think of us? It’s knowing how to valorize it. Jesus had to go through different processes; He was with the Father, then with the disciples and ascended to Heaven in the Spirit, not in the flesh. He went to fill it all to be a fountain where all blessing spring up for our lives. A great problem for us would be if Jesus left us. Jesus

granted all to us, His children, according to our diversity of capacity because He is the one who distributes, gives according to the needs of each one in church with all the gifts of grace from the Holy Spirit. A church must not lack anything but have it all. Jesus ascended so that we would have it all in His death. It is a shame that sometimes we throw it all aside and walk as we please. Jesus took our nature and ascended to take His glory and from there He fills it all. Jesus came to earth once to die and the rest is for His glory, and no one can resist His glory. The glorious Christ is the same Jesus that walked on earth and goes on loving it as much as He did when He died on the cross. He lives watching over us, He still heals those who are hurt, He still comforts those who are afflicted, and His love fills it all. When we let the flesh take over it wants to go back to the old house, and the problem is that before we came to the Lord only one demon possessed us, but if we go back this demon comes back with seven more demons to possess us. We must be careful what we speak with our mouth because maybe God wants to give us another opportunity. Jesus rose to Heaven and not because He wanted to leave the world. He ascended in His death and has never left the world; that is why there is a church. We do not congregate because we want to but because He who loves our souls fills it all, He unites us and sustains each one of us. He fills it all with his presence; this is why he ascended because from where He is He fills it all and He delivers us. While on earth He had limitations as mankind. He took humanity and He made it according to the capacity of mankind, even though He could be everywhere because He is still God. He remained in Israel, but He ascended and from there He has arrived at our island. When He left His body He went back to His glory, He was free from all human limitations and could be everywhere thru His Spirit. His death was not a failure but a victory. He filled us and He continues to fill us. If only we could love Him with such intensity. Sometimes we fall in the habit of becoming too eager and we don’t take a moment to kneel before Him. He succeeded and if He filled everything in us, we will also succeed. Colossians 3:11 Christ is all and Christ is in all. Sometimes we think that Jesus has preferences, but He wants to fill all. All who have believed had been acquired, taken by His blood. His blood has given us life and has cleansed all our sins. When the angels see us they see the blood of Jesus, then, if we possess Him in all our being He has to fill everything in us. The day that Jesus arrives in our lives changes everything. Knowing that Jesus is the fountain of everything, we can only come to Him because He is everything in our conduct, our walk and our thoughts. He is the life of a true believer. John 14:20 The Father is in Jesus, Jesus is in us and we are in Him. John 17:23 With the power of His Spirit Jesus will live in us because we must have his faith. Ephesians 3:19 All the abundance of God is knowing the love of Christ. The death of Christ is the measure of His love. It is the greatest, a love that exceeds all understanding. By God’s abundance we are able to understand all the gifts that He has promised and we will be filled with love, mercy and kindness. Those who are filled with God can not be filled with sin or of Satan. If Jesus has filled it all, Satan cannot even touch us. The enemy comes to fill us with sin when our soul is empty. Sin has no place when we are filled with Jesus. Amen.
