Vanishing the Void by the Victory in Christ 

Nothing about your life will stay empty, you will fill up with lies or truth, lust or love, hell or heaven!

*Text: Philippians 2:1-11 KJVS
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, [2] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. [3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. [4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. [5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Note verse 7 - Jesus made Himself "NO REPUTATION" = kenosis (Ancient Greek: κένωσις, romanized: kénōsis, lit. 'lit. 'the act of emptying'') is the 'self-emptying' of Jesus. The word ἐκένωσεν (ekénōsen) is used in Philippians 2:7: "[Jesus] made himself nothing" (NIV), or "[he] emptied himself" (NRSV), using the verb form κενόω (kenóō), meaning "to empty".

Let's go on a journey through the Word of God and learn how the devil always tries to get the earth and it's inhabitants to empty out of God's will and be filled with violence:

*Genesis 1:1-5 KJVS
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. [5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Here we have God recreating the earth after it BECAME empty and void!
*Isaiah 45:18 KJVS
For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord ; and there is none else.

But Adam and Eve bowed to the serpent and Genesis chapter 6 tell us the earth is filled with violence:

*Genesis 6:1-14 KJVS
