Filled with Love


Eph 3:16  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 
Eph 3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 
Eph 3:18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 
Eph 3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

We look for fulfillment or to be filled in the emptiness inside of us. We fill it with all kinds of things, but we remain empty until God touches us through faith in Jesus Christ. Then we receive the Holy Spirit and the very presence of Jesus in the inner man. If our inner man is filled with the love of God, then our outer man will show it. What comes out of us shows what is in us. Be rooted and grounded in love. So many are restless, moving from one place to another in search of peace and fulfillment, when God is seeking you to fill you with his love.

• God’s love is wide enough to include every person.
• God’s love is long enough to last through all eternity.
• God’s love is deep enough to reach the worst sinner.
• God’s love is high enough to take us to heaven. (Guzik)

Through his love, be filled with all the fullness of God. When I witnessed to a person with multiple personalities and the soul received Jesus and His Holy Spirit entered. The other personalities saw that the Holy Spirit was in charge, and that he was greater and that he was bringing order. One by one the personalities submitted to Jesus until they were made one in His Spirit. Only God can put together broken and scattered lives and fill the inner man with His love. We must desire to be emptied of things that do not belong. Being empty can lead us to his filling through faith in Jesus Christ.

Luk 11:13  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
