Full of fresh Spinach

Jesus said in John 10:10, 'I come to give life, and life to the full'. Jesus is all about fullness, He does not do anything half way or half hearted. Have you read the gospels lately? Have you noticed how intense and focused He was on the mission the Father gave Him?

Last night I had a dream, I will only share the part of the dream that reflects the title of this post. I was speaking in front of a large group of people. Previously to being up in front of this group someone had given me a big clear container of fresh organic spinach. If anyone shops at Costco then you know what I am referring to. In the dream I said that the Father is a good gift giver and I held up the big box of spinach for all to see. I said that what God gives us is Fresh and Full, and it is good for us (nutritious in other words). This box of fresh spinach was symbolic in my dream of the abundant life. It's like fresh manna, you have to eat it everyday or else it will spoil. We have to be connected daily to the vine and remain in Him. Spinach will go bad rather quickly so it must be eaten at a fast pace. Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit all love the fullness. They are the fullness together, they give and release the fullness in each one of their sons and daughters.

My sense in these days is that the Father is longing to release His Holy Spirit to His people without measure, but of course we need to steward this without mixture (compromise, sin, self promotion, etc). He loves to pour out His spirit in ways we cannot even imagine. He is after establishing His Kingdom that will only grow and grow and grow until the fullness of all that is in His heart comes forth. We must be organic, spontaneous, risky, adventurous, and willing to do all that He requires and commands us to do. Obedience is better than sacrifice. So enjoy a big full container of fresh organic spinach today! Be blessed.
