Our concepts of Him have been too small.
Our descriptions of Him have been too narrow.
We have undervalued what He accomplished in Christ, and we have been short-sighted in seeing it’s implications for the future.
He is better than the best thought you have ever had about Him.
He is closer than the most intimate moment you’ve ever spend with Him.
He is larger than our most lofty doctrines.
O, Father … enlarge us; expand our inner man; stretch our understanding to contain a more complete image of You.
that …we’ll be able to take in (together with all the holy ones) the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! (Ephesians 3:18)
As you do this Father we can’t but respond! We love You, we love You, we love You, for You first loved us.
We adore you for you first adored us.
Reveal Yourself Father, we pray. As you have promised, fill this earth with the knowledge of Your glory; pour out Your Spirit on ALL flesh. Make Yourself known, even to those who do not seek you. Be found even by those who did not look for you.
Can you sense the Fathers response? Yes, yes, yes! I will do it … even through you. As you refuse the limitations in spirit and in mind – limitation brought by the world, by religion by yourself, and simply let Me be Me in you, you will be my means of expression. I will think My thoughts through you. I will dream My dreams through you. I will demonstrate my love through you … and I will fill this earth will the knowledge of My glory.

Ah yes Andre, how He has immersed us in His unlimited love.
We cannot just contain it….we must pass it on until all have partaken of this lavish love feast, over which is seen the glorious banner of His immense love.
Interesting that you say “pour out Your Spirit on all flesh”. My question however is was the Spirit of God not poured out 2000 years ago at Pentecost. Should the pray not be, “may they discover the well of the Spirit within them, let Your Spirit gush out of their own Spirit into streams of living water”.
Your comments on this.

Hi Chris,
I hear what you are saying.
Paul writes in Epesians that we should not be drunk with wine but rather be filled with the spirit. A more accurate translation would be “keep on being filled”. So in the same way I refer to the experience and awareness of truth.
Thanks for the comments, I’ve just seen your other comment also.
