...that My House will be full

“...So that My House will be full!” Luke 14:23

Whenever I think on how many God may save, could save, would save, I remember this scripture.

The question I ask myself is this: How big is God’s house? ... and how immense is God’s heart? and how incomprehensible, that He desires that it be completely filled - with us!

This is why I pay no heed to those who say only a few will be saved . The weightiness of the sacrifice of Jesus; the magnitude of the House of God - which He has commissioned us to fill - was not for only a few. (Our God of Love does not want a half-filled House) John 3:16

This helps us to understand why we need the power of the Holy Spirit; why Jesus did not leave us without a comforter(John 14:18): This word actually comes from the Latin words: com: meaning ‘together’ and  fortis: meaning ‘strength’ (this is also where we get the word ‘fortify’) So we could say that the Holy Spirit is the One who fortifies us - who strengthens us up together in all our weakness, and those of us who know the Holy Spirit, will recognize that this is exactly what He does! Working in us, He infuses us with a strength and love that is fathoms beyond anything we could ever muster. Why? 

So, that we can fulfill the greatest commission ever given; a commission that goes far beyond anything we could fulfill in our own strength: To fill the House of God. (2 Peter 3:9). 

For this is the vastness of the heart of God; this is the “immeasurably more” (Eph 3:20 - NIV); this is the height, the depth, the length and breadth of Him (Eph 3:18 - 19); that we would truly KNOW His Love, truly live in His Love, truly operate through His Love...so that His House may  be full.
