Here are some thoughts I wrote down from the sermon at church today. I hope these will spur you on as you seek to know God more and live for Him without hindrance.
“And don’t get drunk with wine, which [leads to] reckless actions,
but be filled with the Spirit:
speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
singing and making music to the Lord in your heart,
giving thanks always for everything to God the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
submitting to one another in the fear of Christ.”
(Ephesians 5:18-21)
“What is filling your life that is keeping you from the fullness of God?”
God, empty us of all that’s not of You, & fill us fully with You.
Worship is who we are. Are we giving that worship to God or to ourselves and other things?
When we’re truly filled to the fullness with God, we will live lives of worship to Him.
The song of each our hearts from God is the song of one redeemed, a song birthed and alive in the heart of one filled fully with God!
“You have to be in the desert to enjoy the water.” Read Psalm 63 – David knew the desert, and he knew God’s glory.
Being filled with God is being fully satisfied in Him and by Him alone. Only He satisfies, nothing and no one else can.
Only the fullness of God will do, not a little, not a bit here and there, only FULLNESS!
Our life passions should be God, His Kingdom, living like Christ, fully knowing Him and being filled wholly with His Spirit.
May we seek true satisfaction in the only One who truly satisfies. Ask Him to empty you of all that is not of Him, and fill you to overflowing with Him! I pray He will do just that for all of us and that we will continually grow in knowing Him intimately.
