Fill Us, Fill the World
How does the world change for the better?
Change first begins with oneself and then it can be transferred to others. If each one reaches one multiplication takes place.
Prayer is the key, words create, so when we speak the Word of God in prayer for another, we change what is to what God desires to be. It is easy to agree with what we see, it takes faith to disagree with what we see and speak what God wants to see. For example you may observe your child behaving rebelliously and out of frustration speak down to your child, which is actually agreeing with what you see, giving more power to it. Faith chooses to see the situation and speak the will of God releasing the Holy Spirit to counter one's fleshly nature.
A quote I often speak but fall very short from is "pray about everything talk about nothing, pray for everyone, talk about no one." I want to pray without ceasing, where every word that comes out of my mouth is the will of the Father. This can only come by God's grace, so Holy Spirit more, more of you, in my life, in Jesus Name!
In Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul is speaking to the Ephesians in this exact manner. Paul is speaking that they would grow in spiritual wisdom, insight, and the knowledge of God. He prays that they would know the hope He has given them and the riches of their inheritance. He prays that they would know the incredible power that God gives those who believe in Him. Paul wants them to understand who they now are in Christ, that Jesus has been given all authority and therefore His church is the recipient of all that is His, and we are to use what He has given us to fill the earth with Him.
The Word of God is the tool that perfects us, the words of the world are used to condemn us. Let us allow the Holy Spirit to control our tongue so that we speak life and not death. So we agree with the ministry of the Holy Spirit that reconciles man to God rather than the Devil whose ministry is to divide the church and separate man from God.
I find when I am disappointed when my expectations are not met by my loved ones I am prone to speak negatively towards them. It does no good, it just makes the situation darker. It may be reality but it is not God's intention and therefore agreeing with darkness cannot change anything, only speaking the Word of God, releases the light of Christ that dispels darkness and God's glory manifests.
