John 3:34

God brought my attention to John 3:34. John the Baptist is speaking and testifying about Jesus. In this verse he says, "For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit."

John was referring to Jesus, but as born-again children and joint heirs with Christ, shouldn't we also have the same "Spirit without limit"? I know the Holy Spirit dwells within me, but I have not as yet seen it "without limit". Why is that? Was that "Spirit without limit" only for Jesus? Something in my spirit says, "No, it should be for us, as well." They experienced it in the first church in the book of Acts. Must God personally send us to speak the words of God? God has already done this through the Great Commission. Are we not experiencing "the Spirit without limit" because we are not speaking the words of God enough? Quite possible. Yet, still, it seems as though there's something more we're not grasping... There are plenty of men and women whom God has called to speak His words, and do just that, but still do not have "the Spirit without limit" that God gives.

Is it a case of "you have not because you ask not"? I don't know. But if that is the case, then, here goes: Father, I ask that You pour out your "Spirit without limit" on all your sons and daughters. We want so much more of You than what we have. We want You without limit. We want so much of You in us that we reflect You inside and out, even down to our DNA. Father, give us your "Spirit without limit" so that people will recognize that it's no longer us, but You who dwells within us. In Jesus' name, amen.
