For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him (John 3:34).
Many people speak about different measures of the Spirit, as if Christians receive varying portions of the Holy Spirit. But the truth is that we all received the same Holy Spirit in the same measure. We received the fullness of Him. The Holy Spirit is a Person, and when you received Him, you received the entirety of His Person.
We read in our opening scripture that God doesn’t give the Spirit by measure, meaning you didn’t receive a part but all of Him. This is how the Lord Jesus received the Holy Spirit, and it’s how every Christian receives Him. It marks a significant difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
In the Old Testament, the Spirit came on them in measures and for specific assignments, but now, we have received the fullness of Him. If the Spirit were given in measures today, how could we truly know how much we have received? What you have is the same Spirit that the apostles received. Studying the Book of Acts reveals a consistency: the Spirit in them produced boldness, power, and extraordinary results.
The same is true of us today. The early Church carried the consciousness of the Kingdom and the authority of Christ. They preached with clarity and conviction, and God’s Word prevailed in their cities just as it does through us around the world today. By the same Spirit, the sick are healed, we cast out devils, raise the dead, and transform entire communities.
We believe in what we have received and we’re acting accordingly; the Name of the Lord Jesus is magnified. We’re unstoppable because we know who we are and what we have. In Romans 8:11, this truth is amplified: it’s not a part of the Spirit that raised the Lord Jesus from the dead that’s dwelling in us; it’s the “same Spirit.” That same Spirit has vitalised your physical body and invigorated you with miracle-working ability. This is your reality. Walk in this consciousness and manifest the power and dominion of Christ.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit who lives in me in His fullness. I walk in the consciousness of His indwelling presence, and I manifest the power, boldness and authority of Christ everywhere. My life is vitalised by the same Spirit that raised the Lord Jesus from the dead, and I walk in the dominion, wisdom and victory of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
