Everything, fully, in 2026

But what is in His will?

He wants us to have:

Perfect peace (Philippians 4:7, John 14:27)

Philippians 4:7 – And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Perfect joy (John 16:24),

John 16:24 – Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

Happiness and grace every day of our lives (Psalm 23:6),

Psalm 23:6 – Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Success in everything we undertake (Psalm 1:3).

Psalm 1:3 – That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

An overflowing love toward all our brothers and sisters in Christ (1 Peter 1:22), toward all our brothers and sisters in Adam (2 Peter 1:7).

1 Peter 1:22 – Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

2 Peter 1:3 – His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness (…) make every effort to add to your brotherly affection love.

His life, flowing and springing up from our hearts like rivers, to restore, comfort, strengthen, revive and heal those around us (John 7:38; Luke 4:18).

John 7:38 – Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

Luke 4:18 – The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the captives and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,

An abundance to meet all our needs and even more, for every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8)

2 Corinthians 9:8 – And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

And He patiently explains to us throughout all the Scriptures how He has chosen to do all this.

The Lord God continually teaches us, in the Gospels and in every epistle of the New Testament, that it is in the growing knowledge of His Son that we find everything we could ever need.

We need nothing else.

Matthew 17:5 – While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

The knowledge of the Son, revealed by the Spirit, is communicated to our spirit and, as it enlightens our soul (our personality), it produces very practical and very concrete consequences. The effects of this knowledge resolve every spiritual, moral, psychological, emotional, physical, practical and concrete problem of daily life.

A strange blindness prevents us from understanding how a knowledge of Christ could have such a massive and especially such a practical impact in everyday life. And yet:

Here is what the Holy Spirit sums up in one sentence through the pen of the apostle Paul:

Colossians 2:10 – and in Christ you have been brought to fullness.

The one who wrote these words is neither an impostor nor a man careless with words. It is therefore, logically, Jesus the Son of God whom it would be wise to seek, since all fullness is found in Him. But how do we do that?

Let us first review what God has already given:

1 John 4:9 – This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

The eternal plan of the God of Love, His benevolent purpose, has always been that everyone should desire to live and actually live by the life of His Son, by choice, by love, without any constraint. Love calls for love.

Ephesians 1:9 – He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfilment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

It has been His plan from all eternity, a plan founded on love and therefore requiring love. God wanted and created a creature who would freely choose to love Him. And since there can be no true love without freedom, He gave that creature freedom, free will. And that freedom expressed itself in the Garden of Eden through the wrong choice of Adam and Eve.

Would one dare say it was foreseeable? I dare to say it was. That is the very nature of true freedom. A wrong choice is part of freedom. Adam freely chose, and that freedom had a cost—a heavy cost for his descendants throughout the centuries. It would be deeply unjust to reproach God for having given us freedom and for our having used it. Yet many do so, through lack of reflection or ignorance of these things.

The correction of the wrong choice was in the plan, because it was foreseeable, inevitable. Otherwise, there would have been no true freedom. There was no other solution. The sending, at the appropriate time, of His Son to earth, becoming like human beings, fully sharing the fate of humanity—this had to be part of the plan. And Jesus, out of love, courageously shared that cost, communing with us in a way, paying Himself, in a human body, very dearly—more dearly than anyone—the price of another’s wrong choice.

Through the extraordinary and fascinating wisdom of this immensely loving plan, many today have freely and intelligently invited Jesus to be the Shepherd of their lives. We have come home, into God’s eternal plan at last! And now we live through Him. Before Christ came to earth, this was impossible. No one had eternal life. Today, we have it. God sent His Son—this is how He demonstrates His love and His wisdom—and the consequence is that we live. WE LIVE. It was God’s initiative. IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. It does not come from us. It is not by works. It is His eternal plan. We live today, at this very moment, by and through Jesus Christ in us.

Our daily renewed consent will not make us live MORE through Him. What we could do (or not do) can add nothing (nor take anything away). We already live by His life and through His life, which has come to bathe and revive our inner being—even if our behaviour and our words might seem far from demonstrating it! Do not expect sensations. Do you need to feel the blood flowing in your veins in order to believe you are alive? And yet it is precisely that blood, pulsing through your arteries and which you do not feel, that gives you physical life. In the same way, you will not feel the life of Christ in you. But it is truly there. It is the divine eternal plan.

Perhaps we underestimate the love and power of the Holy Spirit in us, who patiently and pedagogically distils, through sound instruction (beware of false teaching!), the wisdom and intelligence of Christ—His will and His action in us—so that, out of love, we joyfully strip off, more or less quickly, the old skins of our former existence, becoming step by step like the One who is not ashamed to call us His brothers. We live through Him, whether we are awake or asleep, simply because God sent His one and only Son. There is no other reason for this miracle by which we benefit eternally from all the tenderness and love of the heavenly Father.

1 Thessalonians 5:9–10 – For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

Ephesians 3:16–17 – I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

1 Corinthians 1:9 – God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

It was the intention of the heavenly Father that we should live constantly with Him, that we should be in communion with Him; therefore He gave us, and gives us, the life of His Son through the Holy Spirit.

This is communion with One whom our eyes cannot see and whom our natural ears cannot hear. The Holy Spirit opens other eyes and other ears—those of the spirit—and our understanding is gradually enlightened. We glimpse and experience the many benefits, the wonders that flow from the person of Christ in us, as our understanding is enlightened; we are transformed, overturned, and life becomes a path whose brightness grows until full daylight.

We entered into communion with Him by faith. Communion is not a sensation—this is what deceives us—and that deception is reinforced by bad teaching and unhealthy church habits, such as seeking to supposedly enter into communion through prayer or worship.

Have you never heard it said, or said it yourself, that you were going to pray or sing in order to enter into communion with God?

That is not seeking communion. It is seeking THE SENSATION of communion. That is very different, and it is in fact a practice of unbelief sustained by forgetting the fundamental principles of the Gospel. A bad practice—a very bad practice—because it is founded on the following lie: I am not in communion unless I do something religious to enter into it.

It is a real and subtle lie, draped in religiosity, because in communion we truly are—already, always, and at every moment—from the moment we entrusted our lives to the Good Shepherd, since we already live today, at this very moment and forever, of Him, through Him and with Him. We have entered the eternal plan. Eternal life is not a state that one activates, deactivates and reactivates. Christ is now our life, even if it still seems like a major construction site!

It is from this correct perspective that we enter into true worship and true prayer, and that real progress becomes possible. The truth sets us free and constantly invites us to be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, who has already given us everything, who gives us everything, and who already is everything in us—unconditionally.

I am already in communion through His life in me. That is why I praise Him and pray to Him! I have nothing to do to earn communion. My God who loves me is already in communion with me, through the life of His Son which He has chosen to make dwell in me.

1 Corinthians 3:16 – Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

Only this faith—freely chosen, founded on the Truth—strengthens your inner being, which once again perceives the invisible, lays hold of it, and can feed on the abundant riches of the kingdom.

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 17:3 – Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

The word know here does not speak of intellectual knowledge, of information in our minds, of human wisdom.

This kind of knowledge can only be had in a close, deep relationship—a fusion, a total relationship of one’s whole being.

The closest analogy would be that of grafting, which unites a branch to a tree so that the two become one. In this configuration, the tree in a way knows the branch and the branch knows the tree. This is not knowledge in an intellectual sense. It is far stronger. It is our true present condition— invisible and without sensation. We have believed. We have been baptised, and by the Spirit, the Father has grafted us into the true vine.

John 15:1,5 – “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener… I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

The Holy Spirit has already revealed this to us to some extent. And this revelation grows over time with peaceful and spectacular progress, if we remain firm in the gospel of grace. Progressive revelation, from glory to glory, is the divine mode of operation in our era. We live in the age of the Holy Spirit, into which all have entered since Pentecost. We no longer see the person of Jesus of Nazareth. You will no longer see Him, because He has gone and is now Jesus the Christ at the right hand of the Father. But He reveals Himself; He has chosen to reveal Himself through the Holy Spirit. He is therefore still here—and even more present—and that is how you will see Him today.

John 16:7 – But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

Eternal life is not only going to heaven; it is having this inner conviction—which is a kind of growing knowledge—that our life is fused with the Son of God, with God the Father, through the Holy Spirit. And do not think this is reserved for priests or pastors. It is the privilege and inheritance of every child of God.

1 Timothy 2:3–5 – This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

Living with Christ, remaining in Jesus Christ, communion with Him makes us walk as He walked, as long as we do not allow ourselves to be carried away by religious inaccuracies and remain grounded in the Gospel. The word of truth is powerful to change lives.

Colossians 1:5–6 – the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.

All these things proceed from the Holy Spirit and our spirit, fused together, because here again—just as with communion—there is an unconditional truth, independent of merit, whereas religion makes us believe that we must do something to acquire it:

1 Corinthians 6:17 – But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

There are no longer two spirits. There is only one. We who, one day, accepted and received Christ are, from that day on, with Him day and night, already, one spirit. It is in this posture of firmness in the Gospel that God reveals the life of Christ in us and causes it to grow if we remain firm in grace—unmerited favour—the kind of faith that makes us dwell in Christ, that makes us want what He wants, speak as He speaks and act as He prompts us, with the strength and love that only He can communicate.

1 Corinthians 2:9–10 – “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him—these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

There is nothing automatic. Humanity participates. We too have free will.

Our free will is expressed in asking—voluntarily asking for what we believe we can reasonably ask from God and receive from Him. Hence the immense importance of sound instruction, founded on revealed and written Truth. Beware of false teaching. It hinders our progress.

Prayer is the natural mode of expression of the poor in spirit—of the one who daily recognises their renewed need for grace, for an abundance of grace in every sphere of life. It is also the expression of anyone whose understanding is enlightened by the living Word of Christ, our wisdom.

God opens the kingdom of heaven to the poor in spirit.

God heals the blind who, aware of their blindness inherited from Adam’s fall, cry out to Him: Rabbi, I want to see! He improves the sight of those who see people like trees (Mark 8:24).

God exalts, at the proper time, those who humble themselves under His mighty hand, recognising their total inability to penetrate the secrets of the abundant life by intellectual understanding alone. God especially exalts those who do not doubt that it is the Lord’s will to reveal to us the spiritual and practical riches of His wonderful kingdom.

Matthew 5:3 – Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Prayer must be made thoughtfully, using the understanding of what we have grasped. We must first be sure that we are not asking for things God has no intention of giving us—and also, very importantly, not asking Him as if we did not have something He says He has already given us, such as communion or being one spirit with Him.

1 John 5:14–15 – This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

The texts seen at the beginning of this article, praise be to God, reassure us that it is His will to give us, through intimacy with Him, everything that flows from it—very practical and very down-to-earth things. We can even boldly persist in asking for them.

Prayer founded on the Word and on the promises obtains everything.

If we humbly acknowledge:

• that these excellent graces are already ours to live the authentic, joyful and holy Christian life that God requires,
• that these excellent graces remain a mystery until the Holy Spirit lifts the veil,
• that God exalts the one who thus humbles themselves (recognising their total inability to grasp the abundant life through natural understanding alone),
• that true life flourishes every time the Holy Spirit makes the Holy Scriptures alive within us (the tree of life at last, no longer the barren tree of knowledge),
• that Christ, by the Holy Spirit, is already here in us (no need to ask Him to come or to do something in order to supposedly enter into communion!), yes, Christ is already here, in us, enlightening our spiritual understanding and ready to let even more rivers of life flow if we open the floodgates.

God grants these things to the thirsty, to the one who asks, to the one who seeks, to the one who knocks, to the one who is wise enough to ask for what is essential. He is just to grant what He has promised to the one who seeks—and He does so promptly, if we believe Jesus’ words in Luke’s Gospel.

Luke 18:7–8 – And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly.

Luke 11:13 – If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

God is at work in you. It is He who saves us. It is His plan and His action right now in everyone, whether we are aware of it or not. He allowed you to read this meditation and for it to resonate in your heart.

He is at work. We initiate nothing. He takes every initiative for our salvation—and He proves it again today. We simply respond and receive. God’s salvation is perfect. It is by grace that we are saved. No merit—it is the gift of God. It does not come from us. (Ephesians 2:8–9)

John 6:29 – Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

He is at work, and here is how:

• He draws us
• He makes known to us what He wants us to receive, for He has already given it to us in Christ in us
• He gives us thirst
• He reassures us, He confirms that we can ask Him
• Then He teaches us that we must ask—and sometimes persist—in order to know the Son and remain in Him
• He enlightens our understanding by teaching us, so that in the free will so dear to Him, and propelled by His wisdom, we voluntarily commit ourselves to a pursuit that leads only to happiness and success
• He makes us understand that a growing knowledge of His Son is the only thing we need as a continual answer to all our needs

We need nothing else.

The knowledge of the Son, revealed by the Spirit, is spiritual—but it has consequences in every practical and concrete area of our lives. Yes! It truly resolves every spiritual, moral, psychological, emotional, physical, practical and concrete problem of daily life. Everything begins with Him, and it is Him we must seek.

This is what Adam and Eve were destined for, but they chose to take from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil rather than from the tree of life. It had to happen anyway. But Jesus is the new Adam, and by living with Him, in Him, through Him and for Him, we enter into the abundant, miraculous and supernatural life described in the Scriptures.

May the Spirit lead us, through successive revelations, from glory to glory, into this life. There is no other way. It is a necessity for every son and daughter of God—and it is, in any case, an eternal destiny!

Hebrews 4:16 – Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
