You have all your hearts can wish!(John Flavel "The Method of Grace")"My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 O say with a melting heartI have a full Christ, and He is filled for me! I have . . . His pure and perfect righteousness to justify me, His holiness to sanctify me, His wisdom to guide me, His comforts to refresh me, His power to protect me, His all-sufficiency to supply me. O be cheerful, be thankfulyou have all your hearts can wish! And yet be humbleit is all from free-grace to empty and unworthy creatures!

Brother, there are so many many verses that confirm his thoughts here.'If we could only get our eyes off of ourselves' and see how true this is --- then "one person 'could' make a world of difference".We the Church have His Fullness, already. We just need to really assimulate at the least or take onto ourselves, the N.T. writings.If we would just "walk in it" - that which was already purchased for us and deposited into us.The only thing that holds us back is always having that mirror (not literal) before us, instead of "it is not I, but Christ ...", as Paul did. If we could just use Paul as our example ... that is exactly what The Lord put him there for. He was/is the best example of us and what can become of us, if we just believe His Word. He was Religious --- then he died with Christ --- 'then' see what God did through him. Half the N.T. and a large part in the book of Acts. He was specially chosen - for our example - ideal to follow, as he followed Christ.Thank you for all of your posts hmmhmm.
