Are you truly full of God, or is self still competing for control of your life? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 3:19 (KJV) and asks a question every believer needs to sit with: what does it really mean to be "filled with all the fullness of God"?

You might be asking... Can a person really surrender 100% to God? What is the difference between worldly love and Christ's love? Does God really want all of me, or is a little bit of self okay? What did Job and David understand about God that changed everything for them?

Key points from this devotion:

- Christ's love is based on His nature, not on attraction, and it lasts forever

- To be filled with God means to be emptied of self — God's greatest competitor is self

- 95% God and 5% self is still not enough — just like a drop of poison ruins clean water

- Job 26 reveals how vast and incomprehensible God's power truly is

- David said in Psalm 17:15 he would not be satisfied until he awoke in God's likeness

Are you truly called by God, or are you running on your own strength? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens with a powerful hymn of salvation and moves into a sobering message about what it means to be genuinely called and empowered by God for ministry.

Drawing from Ephesians, Jeremiah 23, Acts 14:1, and 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 in the KJV, Pastor Webster challenges both ministers and everyday believers to examine the source of their spiritual activity.

You might be asking: What happens when someone enters ministry without God's calling? How do I know if I have real spiritual power or just human effort? Is it okay to feel weak or foolish in God's work? What does it mean that God gives the increase?

Key points from this devotion:

- Salvation is by grace alone, not by anything we have done

- Spiritual office without spiritual power produces human failure

- Anyone in ministry without God's appointment is a usurper

- God deliberately chooses the weak and foolish to do His work

- Losing your sense of servanthood means losing your spiritual usefulness

Are you a minister? What does it really mean to serve God? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 3 and Romans 15 (KJV) to unpack one of the most misunderstood words in the church — minister.

You might be asking:

- What is the mystery Paul talks about in Ephesians 3?

- Why was Paul arrested if preaching is not a crime?

- Does being called a minister mean anything without God's power?

- Can God really use someone with a past like Paul's?

Key points from this devotion:

- The mystery revealed: Jewish and Gentile believers are now fellow heirs, one body, equal shareholders of God's promise

- A minister is simply a servant — one who does what they are told by a higher power

- Paul considered himself the most undeserving, yet grace found him anyway

- Spiritual office without spiritual power produces human failure

- The power God gives is the power of spiritual insight into Scripture, not just miracles
