We know we cannot ever squeeze
a quart in a pint pot.
The stupid thing will overflow;
like it, or like it not.
We understand these limits and know that they are true.

But in the unseen spirit world,
such thought will never do.
A closed container can contain whatever
you require.
The pressure may be different,
far more than you desire.
Likewise in the Spirit. For God
to fill you more,
He just increases pressure inside
your spirit’s store.
He knows that we will do it,
before our vessel breaks,
So keeps on doing what He does.
He does it for our sakes!
Perhaps this helps us see just
how, in Jesus was compressed,
All the Godhead’s nature;
though no one would have guessed!
Infinity was dwelling in the
frame of Jesus Christ!
It’s quite incomprehensible;
but somehow He sufficed.
Don’t ask me how He did it. I
thought of asking you.
But let me share a secret, it
is absolutely true!
Colossians chapter one and we
will see in verse nineteen,
God’s whole nature was in
Christ, although it wasn’t seen.
God was pleased to bring all
things to Him in Christ our King.
Not just little bits of it; not
parts, but everything!
Everything in heaven and all
things on the earth,
Would be reconciled to Him and
peace would have its birth.
The blood of Jesus did it. Our
sins were scarlet red.
And Jesus’ cleansing blood would
make our sinful nature dead.
Only He could do it. There is
no other way.
God and man were reconciled by
what He did that day.
Creation and the spirit with
Jesus were infused.
All of Satan’s comments
couldn’t touch those he accused.
Miracle of miracle. God’s
nature was appeased.
We could be forgiven; not
sin-sick and diseased.
If we will submit to Him, He’ll
grant to us His peace.
Turn His face toward us and
grant us the release,
From all of Satan’s purposes
and diabolic plan,
To come between the Godhead and
His created man.
Lord, Your plan was perfect.
Salvation could apply,
To any human being, who knew he
couldn’t try,
To live the way You wanted. But
You could live within,
Any man or woman who repented
of their sin.
