God isn't measured by volume.
God is non-spatial.
So the question of "how much" God will fit into a person, is a non question.

Well said... Thinking that God is a substance like water or air is just wrong.. Seriously wrong..

Scripture tells us we are to be refreshed and renewed daily. The Holy Spirit doesn't possess us like the demons described can.
We can be filled with the spirit at times when the Lord needs a work done.

Mark: 5:1-20
This man confessed to having thousands of demons housed within himself.
So much so that when Jesus commanded them out these demons, not wonting to be cast into dry places, (which is an existence void of any living presence ) chose the two thousand head of swine near by. Not having the spiritual insight of righteous judgment these demons lost their existence which was expressed in the form of pigs and ultimately found themselves back in a dry and barren land.
Now to the point of this scripture which comes in the form of a question.
If the soul of man is vast enough to contain the presence of this many demons (thousands) which made him strong enough to brake chains with which he was bound , how much more are we able to contain the Spirit of God. And with this much of the Holy Spirit contained within a man what would be his strength ?

Luke 8:28-30 King James Version (KJV)When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

Interesting parable revealing the gospel at work challenging the binding and loosening power of the gospel . Reminded me of Revelation 20.

Revelation 20 King James Version (KJV)And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

The father of lying spirits always come up as legion as many gods a foundation of necromancy . It could be compared the ideology of patron saints in Catholicism... gods as workers with familiar spirits one for every need .

Our one God satisfies all our needs. ...Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. Therefore represented by the unclean animals he bound them in..(different kind of chain )

Many faces attributed to the god of this world. 3500 patron saints and adding . . .the Legion is picking up speed 1569683834765.png the legion
