VESSELS

FILLING
THE
VOID

We are designed to be vessels; that is we are designed to be filled.
 
We will not be empty vessels – therefore the void will call to be filled.

The default “filler” is the WORLD and all its carnal thoughts and desires.

As believers in YESHUA, we are to let the Holy Spirit fill our void.

We are to let JESUS be the strongman of our hearts.

  • See Luke 11 Verse 21


Luke 11 : 24 - 26

  • Prior to this JESUS is casting out a demon

G1140            daimonion                 deity, “evil” spirit

From the Root

G1142            daimon                      god or goddess

  • It’s a “dumb” or dull or blunted

    • The ONE TRUE GOD is RELATIONAL

  • Will your “house” be filled with GOD or god?
           
[24] “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’

  • For those in JESUS it is no longer “his” house BUT
The TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT


[25] And when it comes, it finds the house swept and adorned [kosmeo].

  • No “strong” man guarding the house
  • Looks good but EMPTY
  • Nice window dressing but no substance.

[26] Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.”

  • G2730            katoike’o        to inhabit or settle

As opposed to GOD’s Holy dwelling which is:

  • G4637            skenao           to tabernacle, to dwell in tents
Saints live as GOD dwelleth in your hearts, not the world's gods.

Until next time,

love much.  forgive often.  seek earnestly.
