Filled with PURPOSE!

God created the sea and filled it with fish and living creatures. He created the skies and filled it with birds. He created the universe and filled it with stars and galaxies. He created the world and filled it with trees, mountains, lakes, animals and life. 

Then God created man, and breathed life into her, He filled her with Himself!

He commanded them to reign, rule and fill the earth. Man was created with, and filled with a PURPOSE!

You can see this pattern all throughout the Bible. He filled the tabernacle and the temple with His glory. God never leaves an empty space behind, He fills it with life!

But we sinned, and the Bible says that we died = our relationship with God was broken. We lost the glory of God. An empty space was created.

Ever since we have tried to fill that empty space. We try to fill it with different relationships. We are fulfilled a little while, but it will never be a lasting substitute. Some people try to fill it with alcohol, drugs, sexual freedom, carreer, materials or politics.

Whatever we try to fill the empty space with, it will always leak and become empty yet again. It is never quite enough.

Why?

Because He who created you is GREAT. You have GREATNESS inside of you. You are created for something greater. Something more pure. Something more important. You are created with a purpose... There is a meaning for your life.

God became man and paid the price for our sins. He died in my place. I became pure again.

Heaven was ready 50 days after He died and resurrected: Now man was pure again. The price had been paid. We belonged to God again. And the day of Pentecost came.

The disciples were FILLED with the Holy Spirit and regained their original purpose again: Fill the earth! Reign and rule! Live with your purpose! There is a meaning with your life!

Some Christians limit the baptism of the Holy Spirit to speaking in tongues. Don't misunderstand me now, just like Paul I want to say: I speak more in tongues than you, and I wish that you all spoke in tongues! But the baptism in the Holy Spirit is more; is about something greater!

You are filled with a PURPOSE again! You become part of something GREATER again; God's plan to win the world! You are filled with His power, you become a a great and pure WITNESS. You become an AMBASSADOR for His Kingdom, filled with authority and boldness!

Don't be ashamed, lift you eyes! You are not a mistake, you are unique and an important part of God's plan to FILL the earth. You are filled with a PURPOSE!
