(00:01):
Did you know? You're full of it. But what exactlyis the it that you are full of? What is it
that's taking up all the space inside of us?Most of us are full of something, but unfortunately,
usually most of us are completely filled withall the wrong stuff. We are full of busyness
and stress, anxiety and worry, full of lifestuff, jobs, kids, activities, bills, marriage.
(00:27):
Others are full of fear, full of anger, Somecan be full of entertainment and the opinions
of the world. Sometimes we can be full of otherpeople's words, what other people have said
or done to us, hurts, regrets. And some of usreally are just full of ourselves, so focused
on our own lives we have zero room for anythingor anyone else to fit. Most of us are full
(00:52):
of things that drain, that exhaust. But Godwants to empower us with good. He wants to
fill us with life. that actually produces morelife in us and in those around us as well.
God wants to bless you, he wants to fill youwith good things, but there's no room left.
God wants to be great in us, but there's onlyroom for him to be mediocre, or worse, there's
(01:15):
no room left for him at all. God knows if hetries to fill you, you will just break, you
will not be able to accommodate it. Anythinghe does try to fill you with will just be wasted,
and he doesn't want to do that. So we end upbeing empty of all the good that God wants
us to have. But being full of everything, weshouldn't have, period. To be filled, we must
(01:37):
truly be emptied. But not the empty most peoplethink. People say all the time, I just feel
so empty. But that doesn't mean they are actuallyempty. On the contrary, they are actually probably
pretty full. But not with good stuff. They arecompletely full of everything that drains.
They feel empty because all the wrong thingsare taking up all the space, leaving no room
(01:59):
for good and draining them of any life theydid have. They actually feel this great emptiness
even though there is no room left in them. Whata weird thing to feel so empty but yet be so
full. Like fuel, you operate out of the abundancethat is within you. So we need to be full of
the right things that will help carry us throughthis world and make things feel lighter and
(02:21):
easier. Full of good, love, forgiveness, strength,kindness. You get the idea. But if the wrong
stuff is abundantly in us, we will be overwhelmedand weighed down. Sometimes I think worry weighs
500 times more than love. Or stress weighs athousand times more than faith. We are full
of heavy things that weigh us down. Do you feelweighed down, heavy burden? Then you quite
(02:47):
possibly are full of the wrong things. And evenworse, some people are hoarders. They are full
of hoarded emotions, opinions of others, hurts.You name it, they keep everything and hang
onto it until there is just no room at all.They can't really receive anything else until
they empty something to make room, but mostare unwilling to get rid of anything. They
(03:09):
keep it all securely stuffed away. And thenGod comes along and wants to deal with the
stuff, but instead we just keep shoving it downso no one can see it. We will deal with that
later, maybe. If we can just shove it down farenough now, it'll go away and we can be happy.
We go into religious mode and try to be goodand stuff all this junk in so no one sees.
(03:32):
We try to put a lid on ourselves and containit all, then somehow try to manufacture a scrap
of love or happiness when we need it. It mustbe there somewhere. Now where did I put that
love? I know I have it. What little is leftis probably buried under all the hurt and disappointment.
When we are full of the wrong things, we becomeheavy burdened, worn out people, and we are
(03:53):
that have managed to put just enough smile onthe outside to try to fool people and get by.
We have little or nothing good left to offeranyone. Have you ever heard someone say, I'm
just so exhausted, I have nothing left for today,leave me alone. Ever try to be nice to someone
and you can see there's just no room at allleft for that person to put it? They just can't
(04:14):
accept the good you're giving them, but why?Well, because they are so full of other things.
You can tell the person how great and wonderfulthings will be. but there's no room. All they
have is worry, fear, and anxiety. So your goodwords just bounce off of them. Or you're talking
about your amazing experiences with God, andyou see there is just no room for people to
(04:35):
put what you're saying because they are so fullof their religion. Or someone tries to be nice
to you, but then you unleash a torn of junkon them because that's what is overflowing
in you. That's what you've been filled withall day long. You take it home and you pour
it out on your family, the abundance of yourday. Most people are hard to be around because
(04:55):
they are just full of wrong. What you are filledwith leaks out, it overflows. Then we all go
to church full of everything we shouldn't beand we try to get God to come down. God is
like, where? Where would you like me to go?There's no room. There's no room left for me
or what I want in your life. Church becomeshard and difficult. Prayer nights are difficult,
(05:18):
why? Because the leader just isn't very goodor spiritual? is because we are so full of
everything we shouldn't be. Jesus himself wouldhave a hard time getting up and praying in
that room. Prayers go unanswered. Life feelsdifficult, heavy. Relationships are strained.
We just feel worn out. And speaking of relationships,marriages become distant because both people
(05:42):
are usually abundantly full of other stuff.There's no room left for love. Have you ever
been around a person that just complains constantlyabout their spouse? It just pours out. They
are just so full of hoarded bad emotions andattitudes, bitterness and disappointment that
even if their spouse does do good, they can'teven see it because there's just no room left
(06:03):
to put it. If for no other reason other thanfor their own sakes, even if their spouse is
a real jerk, they should empty this stuff andbe filled with good, with better things. Things
that build up and don't just tear down. If theyare more full of love, maybe their spouse wouldn't
it look so much like a jerk? I know this isn'tthe answer we want. Can you just change my
(06:26):
spouse, Gone? I'm really not sure what all thistalk is about dealing with what's inside me.
We all know it's their fault. Just change themand then I can be happy. Unfortunately, it
doesn't work this way. The Bible says, Jesus,full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and
was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Butwe try to go into the daily wilderness of life
(06:51):
full of wrong things. Could you imagine if theBible said, Jesus, full of the worry and busyness
of the ministry, full of fear and anger andbitterness towards the Pharisees, full of doubt
and worldliness, went into the wilderness? Well,I think we know that story would have ended
differently. But yet that's what we try to do.Full of everything wrong, we try to minister,
(07:15):
pray, love our families, be a good father, husband,wife, friend. We try to take on the wilderness.
No wonder we are getting beat up in life. Andmaybe you truly want to change and are really
praying and seeking God, but it just seems likehe never helps or answers. When in reality,
God is constantly trying to help. He's mostlikely sending help all the time, but there's
(07:40):
just too much other stuff in the way. It justrolls off. God's help comes, he sends his word,
his answers. And when it gets to us, there'sjust no room left to put it. It bounces off.
We receive it gladly, but there's just no roomleft. So it doesn't remain and it doesn't produce
in us. The answer is obvious, right? Very simply,we must truly be emptied to be filled. We just
(08:05):
have to deal with the storage issue. We mustempty ourselves of all this junk, let it go,
stop hoarding it and just deal with it. Andthen... Not just leave the space clean and
empty for the junk to return, but fill it tooverflowing with the right things. Just talk
to God. Tell Him, hey, I want to deal with thisstuff. I know it's going to stink, but if you
(08:29):
help me, then maybe I can finally get rid ofthis junk. Let God fill us with good, with
His Holy Spirit, with His heart, His compassion,His love. Be filled with life and things that
produce life. And then... Let's go out and takeon the wilderness of the world. Be emptied,
be filled, be poured out. Repeat. It's justthat simple.
