<strong>unto</strong> the edifying of itself in love” (Eph 4:15-16). Yes, there is an<br />
increase, <strong>and</strong> enlarging of the body, <strong>and</strong> with that increase comes an<br />
exp<strong>and</strong>ed capacity for containing HIM!<br />
In the natural a baby <strong>be</strong>gins eating solid food by taking only half of<br />
a small jar of baby food. When he has finished that small quantity he is<br />
FULL. But at age six, will he still <strong>be</strong> eating half of a jar of baby food?<br />
Certainly not! By then he will <strong>be</strong> eating a child’s plate at the restaurant.<br />
It will take the portion on the child’s plate to fill him. Progressively,<br />
over the period of six years, his capacity has <strong>be</strong>en enlarged! The growth<br />
<strong>and</strong> development of his physical body has produced this. And he will<br />
keep right on growing, exp<strong>and</strong>ing, enlarging, increasing his capacity<br />
until he arrives at the FULL STATURE <strong>OF</strong> MANHOOD. Then he will<br />
<strong>be</strong> able to eat a 16 oz. steak with salad, baked potato, vegetable, coffee<br />
<strong>and</strong> dessert! And so we read in Col. 2:19, “And… holding the Head,<br />
from which all the body by joints <strong>and</strong> b<strong>and</strong>s having nourishment<br />
ministered… INCREASETH WITH <strong>THE</strong> INCREASE <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong>.”<br />
Hallelujah! Press on saints, for we are increasing with the increase of<br />
God! Don’t stop now – wherever <strong>you</strong> are! If <strong>you</strong> have <strong>be</strong>en born again<br />
by the incorruptible seed of the Word of God, <strong>you</strong> have only <strong>be</strong>en<br />
wrapped in the swaddling clothes of <strong>you</strong>r spiritual existence. If <strong>you</strong> have<br />
<strong>be</strong>en baptized in the Spirit <strong>you</strong> have merely taken <strong>you</strong>r first baby step<br />
into the Kingdom! If <strong>you</strong> speak with tongues, prophesy, see visions, heal<br />
the sick <strong>and</strong> cast out devils, <strong>you</strong> are yet in the kindergarten of God’s<br />
glorious <strong>and</strong> eternal reality! The burning desire within my heart in the<br />
end of this age is that God’s people might with me <strong>be</strong>come aware that<br />
there is yet <strong>be</strong>fore us the full comprehension of what truly is the breadth,<br />
length, depth <strong>and</strong> height of that realm available to us where abides ALL<br />
<strong>THE</strong> FULLNESS <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong>. When the majesty of this transcendent<br />
potential breaks upon our groaning spirits we shall cease to glory in the<br />
fact that we are Evangelical Christians, or Pentecostal Christians, or<br />
Charismatic Christians, or even “end-time” saints, or “new-day” saints –<br />
for we shall perceive that WE ARE NOTHING AS WE OUGHT TO<br />
BE, for truly that portion of our inheritance which lies <strong>be</strong>fore us is<br />
greater <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>er than all we have possessed up to this present time!<br />
