e filled with all the incomprehensible inexhaustibleness of <strong>GOD</strong>! This<br />

Spirit, who IS <strong>GOD</strong> <strong>and</strong> is sent forth by God, full of wisdom <strong>and</strong> truth,<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing, counsel, might, knowledge <strong>and</strong> glory brings in His<br />

mighty fullness ever increasing measures of His own unlimited <strong>and</strong><br />

unfathomable abundance. Yea, God would fill us <strong>and</strong> then exp<strong>and</strong> us<br />

that He might fill us the more, <strong>and</strong> yet again, <strong>and</strong> again, until we attain<br />

even that “measure of the stature of the FULLNESS <strong>OF</strong> CHRIST,”<br />

Which measure is nothing less than the absolute fullness of HIM THAT<br />

FILLETH ALL IN ALL!<br />

The measure of God <strong>unto</strong> which we have <strong>be</strong>en called has <strong>be</strong>en seen<br />

in Christ. “For it pleased the Father that in Him should ALL FULLNESS<br />

dwell” (Col. 1:19). “For in Him dwelleth ALL <strong>THE</strong> FULLNESS of the<br />

Godhead bodily” (Col. 2:9). Though we, as mem<strong>be</strong>rs of His body, have<br />

received “of” that fullness, yet the Father is concerned in this hour that<br />

there come to pass a further ENLARGEMENT of our capacities to<br />

contain Him, for He seeks a body through which He can manifest all the<br />

fullness of Himself to the creation. Paul prayed for the Ephesian<br />

<strong>be</strong>lievers <strong>unto</strong> this end: “That Christ may dwell in <strong>you</strong>r hearts by faith;<br />

that ye, <strong>be</strong>ing rooted <strong>and</strong> grounded in love, may <strong>be</strong> able to comprehend<br />

with all saints what is the breadth, <strong>and</strong> length, <strong>and</strong> depth, <strong>and</strong> height (of<br />

capacity); that ye might <strong>be</strong> FILLED WITH<br />

A-L-L <strong>THE</strong> FULLNESS <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong>” (Eph. 3:17-19). Only the Spirit of<br />

wisdom <strong>and</strong> revelation can minister to our yearning hearts the full<br />

comprehension of what is the breadth, <strong>and</strong> length, <strong>and</strong> depth, <strong>and</strong> height<br />

of the supply of God in the Spirit <strong>and</strong> of our capacity to contain Him.<br />

But one thing God would have us know <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> in all simplicity<br />

– the increase of our capacity COMES THROUGH OUR GROWTH AS<br />

MEMBERS <strong>OF</strong> CHRIST”S BODY.<br />

Hear now the word of the Lord! “But speaking the truth in love,<br />

may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from<br />

whom the whole body fitly joined together <strong>and</strong> compacted by that which<br />

every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure<br />

of every part, MAKETH INCREASE (enlargement) <strong>OF</strong> <strong>THE</strong> BODY<br />
