The word "filled" (pleroo) It means.... to make full, to fill up, that is, to fill to the full, to cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally; to abound, to be liberally supplied... to render full, to complete one... to fill to the top: so that nothing shall be wanting to full measure... to make complete in every particular, to render perfect... to carry through to the end, to accomplish, to carry out, (some undertaking) to carry into effect, to bring to realization, used of matters of duty: to perform, to execute... used of sayings, promises, prophecies, to bring to pass, to ratify, to accomplish... used to fulfil, a real faith that is, to cause God's will ( and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfillment... That is a whole lot of meaning... God wants to fill you the temple with his Spirit... which is not an attitude but his very presence within, because he is Spirit. He wants nothing missing in your life.
What would be wrong with his presence? having epxeriencd an endless set of questions about where is the life? It;s not as hard as it is made to be, the most amazing part mentioned is how far we gotten from early part of history to change a relationship over to a philosophy. Where the closeness was not mixed in with man's knowledge elevated into near divine like status hinders being led to quenching out the Spirit by his ego.
The loss of that state is seen today in hit and miss forum of trying to shove him through our filter grids rather than seeking to hear him requires time out side our interests. That is exactly what took place long ago. Having left what real faith was resulted in the displeasure of God to act on our behalf unlike entitlement he requires that we please him in order to grow by faith unto a more mature state by which both thee mind of Christ and faith are in development. 1 Corinth 2, 1Peter 1, 2. Go to go it...Got to experience the spiritual life of gifts and abilities and faith to know how it works, Religion today is like the kid that stand s in the window watching his brothers go fishing by having never experienced the actual going, it;s lifeless, God made life to learn by going doing and become personal.
Real discipleship is not another book assignment... get rid of it,,, you got to go it and do it and take to life by getting knocked down and get back up... where real spiritual warfare takes place and is like. Modern western religions powerless for the most part. It's about guilt trips, legal religion and self focus, pity parties, get over it and put on the new life, the other it;s dead. Take to the air learn how fly instead of crawling.
