The FULLness of GOD in me!

Rod Shimabukuro

Scripture
For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, [10]and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. Colossians 2:9-10
Observation
Paul writes in the preceding verse…[8]See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.[9]For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, [10]and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

It is critical for me to understand and know that I and filled in Him - and Him is the WHOLE FULNESS of the DEITY! KA-BOOM! Is this powerful or what? The living God, living in and through Jesus - God Himself in Him and my heart filled in HIM!
Application

I need to be on constant watch of human traditions and the philosophies of the world. Not that I would accept teachings that are so contrary to the Bible. In my heart, I really want to be watchful and careful of the subtle and sneaky traditions and ways of my upbringing, culture, ingrained way I live life - that may just be - CUZ THAT’S the WAY I WAS RAISED. The nuances of the “why I act and do, as I do” have to be filtered through the Spirit of God working in me.

Today, I am transformed by this living Word - revealed in my heart! I am FILLED IN HIM! The FULLness of God lives in ME… KA-BOOM!
Prayer
The more You make me aware of Your FULLness - the more I change - he more I desire to live for YOU with all my heart. Thanks so much Jesus! Thank you for filling me, living in me…! You mean God in me…!!! WOW! I love You Deity of God!
