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!
