What are the blessings?  What are we called to?

            Eph. 2:10 He has prepared good works for me to do. 

                        We are still called to be fruitful and multiply.  It’s still what we need to be fulfilled.  We need to be filled full of Him to accomplish it.

            Phil. 3:8-9 – Knowing Christ – Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, . . .

            Power to deny self, to become like Him, to abide, to produce fruit – more fruit – much fruit – fruit that will last.

            John 15:7-8 – A life that glorifies God through answered prayer – If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.  By this is My Father glorified that you bear much fruit; so, you will be my disciples.

            John 1:16  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace NKJV –

one blessing after another.  NIV  

one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift heaped upon gift. Amplified

And when that doesn’t seem to be enough – we can ask for more.  2 Sam. 12:7-9

Eph. 3:19-20 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. 

We don’t want to limit the power that works in us.  If we don’t quench the Spirit, He can quench us – and we can be full of Him.  We can walk after the Spirit and not the flesh.

            Oneness with Him – this is it!  This is what we were saved for.  Everything else flows from this.

John 17:22-23  And the glory which you gave me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one. I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as you have loved me.

He is asking us to let Him love us.  He is asking us – Do you love me?

Nothing we are holding onto is worth what we’re giving up. How can we get past our fear and resistance?
