Scripture Of The Day - WALKING IN HIS FULLNESS

[Albert Finch]

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:37–38).

John clarified the meaning of Jesus’ statement by adding,“But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:39).
Note that the word rivers is plural. This indicates multiple flows of the precious Holy Spirit. He is one Holy Spirit with seven functions or expressions of Himself through you.
Revelation 3:1 reveals that Jesus had the seven Spirits of God, and Isaiah 11:2 gives us more insight. The prophet wrote that the Holy Spirit Himself rested upon Jesus. From the Holy Spirit flowed wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And the Bible also says Jesus had the Spirit of God upon Him without measure of limit—an unlimited anointing (see Luke 4:18 NLT).

WALKING IN THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S SPIRIT

Jesus blew the lid off limitation because He would not settle for a measure or for a limit. Human minds, wisdom, and ability are limited. He had to seek and rely on the fullness of God’s Spirit upon Him in wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, and knowledge, which enabled Him to do the things He did that radically changed the course of history. Only the fullness of God’s Spirit satisfied Him. He did not move an inch without that rich treasure upon Him and the Spirit’s fullness flowing out of His heart; His presence manifested in everything.
Jesus blazed those incredible historic highways by flowing in the “rich treasure of His glory” that the apostle Paul speaks about—that treasure that fills our entire beings unto all the fullness of God (see Eph. 3:16, 19) for that incredible, enabling dunamis power in all things. The Spirit of God and power go hand-in-hand. Paul himself said that his speech and preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (see 1 Cor. 2:4).

HUNGER FOR DEEP-TO-DEEP COMMUNION

It all starts with daily deep-to-deep communion with the Holy Spirit so that by His divine power we will be partakers of His nature in us (see 2 Pet. 1:3–4).
Each of these great flows of the precious Holy Spirit is available to every believer to help us live in constant increase as we go about transforming the world for His glory.
