Replete With God

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:
for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him (John
3:34).

Colossians 2:9 tells us that in Jesus “…dwelleth all the
fulness of the Godhead bodily.” When Jesus
walked the earth, He was filled with God, letting us know we
too can be filled with God. He was the Word made flesh. He’s
called the Son of God, because He was God in flesh. The Jews
knew the meaning of “Son of God,” which was why when
Jesus said, “I’m the Son of God,” they couldn’t take it.
Jesus was replete with God. That’s what it means to be
full of God. Now, if this is true about Jesus (and it is true), how
about us who are joint-heirs with Him? If Jesus was replete
with God and anointed without measure, being sent of God,
it follows that we also have been anointed without measure,
because Jesus said, “…as my Father hath sent me, even so
send I you” (John 20:21).
No wonder Colossians 2:10 says, “And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and
power.” The word “complete” is fullness, to be made full!
We’re replete with God, full of God, the same way Jesus
was full of God. The Amplified Classic version makes it even
clearer: “And you are in him made full and having come
to fullness of life in Christ you too are filled with the
Godhead-Father, Son and Holy Spirit….” That means the
Godhead now dwells in us bodily as He dwelt in Jesus.
That’s the reason He said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto
my Father” (John 14:12). We can do greater works because we’re anointed without measure; the fullness of God dwells
in us. Blessed be God!


CONFESSION

The Spirit of the Lord lives in me
and He’s anointed me without
measure! I’m replete with God!
I could never be defeated or
disadvantaged. I’m anointed to
walk in, and produce works of,
righteousness; to proclaim liberty
to the oppressed and recovery of
sight to the blind; to heal the
brokenhearted and liberate the
down-trodden and oppressed,
and turn the hearts of the wicked
and disobedient to the wisdom of
the just! Hallelujah!
