Christmas Eve || The FULLNESS of Heaven

Written By East Gate

Isaiah 9:6 New King James Version

6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The Greatest Present this Christmas is the FULLNESS of Heaven

The Year of OVERFLOW

  • Heaven’s Revelation, Abundant Life, and Victory

Jesus is the FULLNESS of Heaven

Colossians 2:9 New King James Version

9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

The FULLNESS was Experienced and Lost in Eden

Adam & Eve Knew the FULLNESS in Eden

  • Revelation and Right Relationship with the Father

  • Lived in the Midst of the Abundant Life of the Garden of Eden

  • Blessed and Released to Know Victory in the Earth

Everything Changed When Adam & Eve Were Deceived by the Serpent

  • God had a plan to restore the FULLNESS of His Presence to Earth and Humanity

  • A promise to defeat the serpent and restore the FULLNESS of Heaven to Earth [Jesus]

Genesis 3:15 New King James Version

15  And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

The Cost of the FULLNESS of Heaven

Unto Us A Child is Born

  • God humbled Himself, and gave Himself unto us as a Child

    • The Mighty now vulnerable

    • The Word of God now mute

    • The Sustainer of life now clinging to a young woman for life

    • The FULLNESS of heaven wrapped in a baby

Unto Us A Son is Given

  • A Costly Gift [The Only Begotten Son]

    • Always God

    • Remained fully God and became fully man at conception

    • [Hebrews 5:1-10] Remains fully God and fully man forever to be our great High Priest forever

  • A Son given to SUFFER [Isaiah 53:3-5] and DIE

    • To suffer and die in humanity’s place and restore what was lost in Eden [Genesis 3]

      • Adam and Eve elevated themselves

        • Jesus humbled Himself

      • Adam and Eve reached out their hands to take

        • Jesus reached out His hands to be pierced and give

      • Adam and Eve took for themselves the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

        • Jesus gave Himself on the cross, giving away His good & taking upon Himself our evil

      • Adam and Eve caused the ground to be cursed, to produce thorn and thistles

        • Jesus took the curse upon Himself and wore a crown of thorns

      • Adam and Eve separated themselves from God and one another

        • Jesus restored us to God and one another

      • Adam and Eve hid their nakedness and needed covering

        • Jesus covered our nakedness so we don’t have to hide

  • Jesus was begotten and given, so that we could be adopted and received

John 3:16-17 New King James Version

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 1:12-13 New King James Version

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Government [Rule & Dominion] Will Be Upon His Shoulder

  • He always ruled in heaven, He rules in the hearts of His church and upon His return He will rule completely upon the earth

    • Restoration of the Genesis 1:27 blessing of OVERFLOW

To Those Who Receive Him, His Name Will Be Called

  • Wonderful

  • Counselor

  • Mighty God

  • Everlasting Father

  • Prince of Peace

Will You Receive the FULLNESS of God’s Presence?

Embracing Jesus FULLY is How We Receive God’s Gift of FULLNESS

Accept Jesus as Your Savior, and Surrender Your Life to Him as Lord

Ephesians 3:14-21 New King James Version

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
