"And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1:22).When we SEE an ever-increasing Christ Who is destined to fill all things then we will be delivered from smallness and narrow-mindedness. We do not overcome a thing by focusing our attention and directing our energies against that THING. "Things" will keep us busy from morning until night, and from night until morning. May GOD deliver us from "things" and show us His Son! We must learn to keep the focus of our heart on the Lord Jesus Christ,Who MUST increase. Then there is no room for "things" anymore. They are simply swallowed up in Victory.

I met a dear friend from this website. The Lord has blessed her to write a book which in my opinion is critical for the Body of Christ. But in relationship to this topic, she has an interesting write-up on her website I would like to share. It is small but it sums up this "things" subject.
Here is her website http://www.ekklesia4him.net/articles.html#_treasure
And this is her quote
"Where your treasure is... March 7, 2004
We must stop measuring our treasure by the pleasure that we treasure, and move to treasuring the measure of God's pleasure that He wants us to cherish without measure; for it is His measure of Treasure that he takes pleasure in measuring to us, so that ultimately our treasure will be in His pleasure without measure.
