We Are Made Full in Christ (2) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bible Verses~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Col 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, 10 And you have been made full in Him, who is the Head of all rule and authority. Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Words of Ministry~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Part 2 of 2) We should not consider ourselves poor, just as a poor woman who has married a rich man should no longer think of herself as poor. Even though she may feel poor, she must practice applying the fact that the riches of her husband belong to her. In like manner, because we are one with Christ, we should not regard ourselves as in poverty. To the contrary, we need to have a full realization of what we have in Christ. In their prayers, some Christians like to declare how poor, pitiful, and low they are. This kind of prayer is without faith or assurance. We need to believe with full assurance that we are one with the rich, all-inclusive Christ, with the One who is the embodiment of all the fullness of the Triune God. If we realize this with full assurance, we shall never consider ourselves poor. Do not believe your feelings about yourself, but look away to Christ. Exercise your faith to realize what He is, what He has passed through, what He has obtained and attained, and where He is today. In Christ we are not only millionaires--we are billionaires. We have been placed into the Christ who is unsearchably rich. In this Christ we are made perfect, complete. In Him we do not lack anything. Do not talk about how much you lack. Because you are in Christ, you lack nothing. We are those who possess the riches of Christ. Often we have prayed, "Lord, I am poor and pitiful." But not many have prayed in this way: "Lord, I thank You that I am rich, complete, and full. Lord Jesus, because I am in You, I am richer than the wealthiest billionaire. I am short of nothing." Tell the Lord, the angels, and even the demons that you are richer than any earthly billionaire because you are in the Christ whose riches are unsearchable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (c) 2007 Living Stream Ministry.
