We Are Now Filled With Our Father's Faith


[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] Ephesians 3:19-20
Our Father is faith and we are now filled with His fullness. We don’t just have some of God’s faith; we have the fullness of His faith! This Truth passes all human knowledge and ability. You see faith overrides knowledge; faith tells the dead to rise and they do! Faith tells water to be wine, and it does! Faith tells dirt to become man, and it obeys! Faith says a poisonous drink has no ill effects, and it doesn’t! Faith says to lay hands on a person with cancer and the cancer has no choice but to leave! Faith says that these things will happen each and every time, with no doubts, and they do! Faith says that we are filled with the fullness of our Father, God’s fullness! Faith says that even if we don’t think we have the faith, it doesn’t matter, our Father has the faith, and He is able and willing to do more through us than we can ask or think of!
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb; He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded, that what He had promised, He was also able to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification Romans 4:20-25
Faith allows us to believe that our Father is bigger than us, and that He is always willing and able to do what it is that He has spoken! And praise God; we have Jesus within us giving us His faith that never stumbles at the Truth that God is always willing and that He is always able to fulfill His Word! Jesus doesn’t leave it up to us to believe this way, He leaves it up to Himself, and Jesus is always is victorious! Now is the accepted time and today is the day of our salvation!
For He says, In the time of favor (of an assured welcome) I have listened to and heeded your call, and I have helped you on the day of deliverance (the day of salvation). Behold, now is truly the time for a gracious welcome and acceptance [of you from God]; behold, now is the day of salvation! 2 Corinthians 6:2
