What does it mean to be changed from glory to glory?

Some people think you grow to be more like Jesus by human effort of doing all sorts of good things. That’s not true. And yet, you can grow to be more like Jesus, but your part is to listen to God and yield to His grace so His grace can work through you.

Changing to be like Jesus doesn’t just take one step. It’s a journey. Study the diagram. This diagram shows one step on this journey. Each step takes only a moment, and you just keep walking step by step to complete the journey. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says you are becoming more like Jesus every day. The Holy Spirit changes you from one level of goodness to another, making you more like Jesus. The veil is the sinful fleshly nature that keeps you from seeing spiritual things clearly. In this verse says we’re looking at the glory of the Lord without the fleshly veil as if we are looking into a mirror, and then we’re changed from glory to glory. It just keeps getting better. Colossians 1:27 says, “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” First Thessalonians 5:23 tells you that you have three parts: a spirit, a soul (mind), and a body. Our spirits were transformed when we were born again. Our minds/souls are in process. Our bodies aren’t set free yet. The spiritual war is over control of our souls (minds). Will you let the devil control your mind, or will you turn your mind over to Jesus? The devil tries to convince you that you are still a slave because your body isn’t free. God set your spirit free the moment you accepted Christ as your Lord and King. Now, the devil tries to take over your mind, using bad TV shows, games, friends, books, and songs. And the devil has many other ways to try to take control of you. God speaks to you through your spirit to transform your mind to be like Jesus.

Ask God to answer these questions:

Why can’t you become more like Jesus by just doing good things?
What does it mean to yield to God’s grace?
How does the Holy Spirit change you to be more like Jesus?
What is the veil, and why does it stop you from seeing spiritual things?
What does it mean to be changed from glory to glory?

Bonus questions:

What are the three parts of you, and how are they different?
Why isn’t your body set free yet?
How does the devil try to control your mind?
How does God speak to your spirit to help you?
What should you do to make sure your mind belongs to Jesus?

SONG IN THE NIGHT

Lord Jesus full of pow’r and might,
You give me a song in the night.
Source of knowledge, source of light.
You give me a song in the night.
Lord, Your love is more than I can understand.
Strength is flowing from the pow’r of Your Hand.
Take me over Jordan to that wonderful Land.
Make my mind to be like Yours
As I’m crossing over Jordan.
Make my will the same as Yours
O Lord, let Your Kingdom come
Let Your Kingdom come.

What is the implanted Word, and how does it save your soul/mind?

There are things we can know now. Some things God has hidden for now. Speculation leads to confusion. Even though we would like to fully understand all of this, it is a mystery for now. One day, we will understand it all. “On that day you will realize that I am in My Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” (John 14:20)

You can know whether you are following the Holy Spirit or some other spirit. You could follow the spirit of the culture and do whatever you see other people doing. You could allow the TV or social media to lead you instead of following the Holy Spirit. Look at this warning in 2 Corinthians 13:5: “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?”

“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” (James 1:21)

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)

The flesh is officially dead. Don’t pay any attention to it.

“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

“But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.” (Romans 8:10)

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love…” (Ephesians 3:17)

Here’s the simplicity that is in Christ. Stay in His presence, listening to His voice. You know what you should do and what you should not do by His leading. Yield your will to His will so He does His works through you. That’s how you receive the implanted Word. The Word being planted in Jesus Christ. That’s how you grow in Christ.

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean that Jesus is in His Father, and you are in Him, and He is in you?
How can you know if you’re following the Holy Spirit or something else?
What does it mean to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith?
What is the implanted Word?
How does the implanted Word save your soul/mind?

Bonus questions:

How do you stop being like the world and let your mind be renewed?
What does it mean that you have been crucified with Christ?
Why is it called a mystery that Christ is in you?
If Christ is in you, why does your body still die because of sin?
How does the Spirit give life because of righteousness?
What does it mean to be rooted and established in love?

Some folks say they’re saved, sanctified, and satisfied.

Some folks say they’re saved, sanctified, and satisfied.
I won’t be satisfied ‘til I’m glorified,
That is the Christ is fully glorified in me,
And I die out to self totally.

Therefore I die daily walking with my Lord,
Until the day completely within me He is formed,
Submitting to Him fully in all I think and say and do.
Oh, Spirit work this in me as I submit to You.

Some Folks Say

How does God’s grace to do God’s works through you?

Since you received Jesus into your heart, you no longer live a hopeless life. You have Christ in you as Galatians 2:20 tells you, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” This verse explains that Christ lives within believers, transforming their lives. Here’s another example in Colossians 1:27 which says, “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Jesus speaks about His presence in your life. “But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.” (Romans 8:10) Christ dwells in your heart through faith “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love…” (Ephesians 3:17)

We know how that works. Faith comes by hearing God’s Word, God’s leading. God’s Word is Christ, but He wants to put Christ into your heart. Christ authors faith in you, but you must receive it. That means, Christ writes the faith on your heart. When you receive the Father’s faith, you get access to God’s grace. When you yield to God’s grace to the point that God’s grace does God’s works through you, your heart has opened to receive Christ. This happens when you are born again and as you walk in the Spirit after you are born again. The only righteousness you will ever have is when God does His righteousness through you. When the Bible talks about your heart, it’s not talking about the organ that pumps blood through your body. That’s your physical heart, which has nothing to do with your heart that is your innermost mind and soul. The Bible is talking about your innermost mind, which is your soul. It calls your innermost being, “your heart.”

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean to have Christ living in you?
How can Christ be in your heart but not in your physical heart?
What is faith, and how does Christ put it in your heart?
What does it mean to be crucified with Christ?
How do you get more grace?

Bonus questions:

Why does the Bible call your mind your heart?
What is the hope of glory mentioned in Colossians 1:27?

What does it mean for God’s grace to do God’s works through you?

How does Jesus give you wisdom and knowledge?

Some people think Jesus in our hearts is just a figure of speech or that Jesus is in our physical beating heart. Neither of those is true. And yet, Jesus is in our innermost being. The Bible tells us about a fourth dimension in Ephesians 3:18-19, which lets us know there’s another dimension beyond the three physical dimensions. Your heart is your innermost being.

As you follow God, Jesus becomes more a part of you. James 1:21 says you should accept God’s Word, which can save you. God’s Word is God leading you. Jesus is God’s Word. You must accept Him. Jesus saves you from sin. He becomes your righteousness. When He works in you, you become more like Jesus (Romans 12:2). Jesus is not just a story; He lives in you with all authority, power, wisdom, and knowledge.

Jesus lives in you if you accept Him as your Lord. If He’s your Lord, He is your King. He is the one you obey. You look for His Spirit to lead you and do what He tells you to do.

You can have wisdom and knowledge from Jesus. He is the truth, and when He is in you, you have the truth. Without Jesus, no one can know anything. Even those who don’t know Jesus Christ write about this problem humans have with knowledge. God showed them they can’t have knowledge without divine revelation from Jesus, but they couldn’t accept what God said. Instead, they say, “No one can know anything for certain.” They leave out that part about God revealing the truth to them. If you’ve ever heard anyone say, “Everything is relative,” “There are no absolutes,” or “every person has his or her own truth,” they are claiming that no one can know anything. They are missing one important fact: Jesus is real and all knowledge is hidden in Him. He reveals knowledge to whomever He wills. You can know what the Spirit of Jesus reveals to you, but you can’t know anything beyond what Jesus reveals to you.

Ask God to answer these questions.
How can Jesus live inside you?
What is your “innermost being”?
What does it mean that the kingdom of heaven is within you?
What is the “fourth dimension” the Bible talks about?
How does Jesus save you from sin?

God’s intent is that you come deeper into His presence and never leave.

“Do not quench the Spirit.” (1 Thessalonians 5:19)

The flesh resists the Spirit.

“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)

The Holy Spirit is in you to guide you. Listen. Yield.

“As for you, the Anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His Anointing teaches you about all things and as that Anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in Him.” (1 John 2:27)

There is a place in the church for the ministry of the teacher, and the Holy Spirit may teach you through an Anointed teacher, but many teachers don’t have the Holy Spirit. They depend on human intellect and learning. They serve you yesterday’s manna. Even so, the Holy Spirit can be teaching you and giving you fresh manna specifically prepared for you for today.

“The gatekeeper opens the gate for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice. He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.” (John 10:3-4)

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:1-3)

The Lord guides you. That’s what the 23rd Psalm is about.

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’“ (Isaiah 30:21)

You have known many times when God has guided you in this way. God’s intent is that you come deeper into His presence and never leave. He wants you to flow with His wisdom and knowledge perpetually.

“Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” (Psalm 25:5)

That’s a prayer God will answer.

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean to quench the Spirit?
How do you grieve the Holy Spirit?
How does the Anointing teach you?
Why don’t all teachers have the Holy Spirit?
How can you recognize the voice of Jesus like His sheep do?

Bonus questions:

How can you be led by the Holy Spirit?

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.” (John 16:13)

The Spirit of Truth is the Spirit of Christ. Jesus Christ is the Truth. His Spirit was joined to your spirit when you were born again. Now, He guides your mind into all the Truth. He builds Christ in you until Christ is complete in you. And your flesh, which is already dead, no longer has any influence over you.

“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” (Romans 8:14) This is written to Christians.

Scripture tells us God would have all people to be saved. At present, we don’t see all people saved. Many are children of the devil. They are slaves of the devil. They remain in captivity. If you are led by the Holy Spirit, you are a child of God.

“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) This is written to Christians.

How foolish to reverse this process by thinking that by self-effort we can stop gratifying the desires of the flesh! The fleshly nature tries to convince us we must obey a set of rules that will cause us to walk by the Spirit. That’s backwards. Many have tried to do it this way. They work hard to avoid gratifying the desires of the flesh, but that never causes them to walk in the Spirit. It’s actually a form of rebellion since God said to walk by the Spirit (what this entire devotional series is about), and then, you won’t gratify the desires of the flesh.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) This is written to Christians.

We’re all familiar with this proverb. And yet, the tendency is to trust our own understanding. From the pulpits of churches, many preachers encourage dependence on reasoning. It’s hard to walk in the Spirit if you find yourself in a church that’s fueled by intellectualism and devoid of the Holy Spirit.

You walk in the Spirit by turning your attention to the Spirit’s leading rather than worldly voices, media, counsel, and teachers or your own rationalizing mind. You listen to the Spirit’s leading and yield yourself to the Spirit’s righteousness to the point that God’s grace does God’s works through you.

Ask God to answer these questions.
What does the Spirit of Truth do?
How does the Spirit of Truth guide you?
What does it mean to be born again?
How does the Holy Spirit give you understanding of the Truth?

How can you be led by the Holy Spirit?

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.” (John 16:13)

The Spirit of Truth is the Spirit of Christ. Jesus Christ is the Truth. His Spirit was joined to your spirit when you were born again. Now, He guides your mind into all the Truth. He builds Christ in you until Christ is complete in you. And your flesh, which is already dead, no longer has any influence over you.

“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” (Romans 8:14) This is written to Christians.

Scripture tells us God would have all people to be saved. At present, we don’t see all people saved. Many are children of the devil. They are slaves of the devil. They remain in captivity. If you are led by the Holy Spirit, you are a child of God.

“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) This is written to Christians.

How foolish to reverse this process by thinking that by self-effort we can stop gratifying the desires of the flesh! The fleshly nature tries to convince us we must obey a set of rules that will cause us to walk by the Spirit. That’s backwards. Many have tried to do it this way. They work hard to avoid gratifying the desires of the flesh, but that never causes them to walk in the Spirit. It’s actually a form of rebellion since God said to walk by the Spirit (what this entire devotional series is about), and then, you won’t gratify the desires of the flesh.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) This is written to Christians.

We’re all familiar with this proverb. And yet, the tendency is to trust our own understanding. From the pulpits of churches, many preachers encourage dependence on reasoning. It’s hard to walk in the Spirit if you find yourself in a church that’s fueled by intellectualism and devoid of the Holy Spirit.

You walk in the Spirit by turning your attention to the Spirit’s leading rather than worldly voices, media, counsel, and teachers or your own rationalizing mind. You listen to the Spirit’s leading and yield yourself to the Spirit’s righteousness to the point that God’s grace does God’s works through you.

DON’T GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. DON’T REFUSE TO LISTEN AND YIELD TO GOD’S SPIRIT

You grieve the Holy Spirit if you refuse to listen and yield to God’s Spirit. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)

“As for you, the Anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His Anointing teaches you about all things and as that Anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in Him.” (1 John 2:27)

The Anointing refers to the Holy Spirit. The word “Messiah” means “the Anointed One.” Christ in you is the Anointed One. Satan has manipulated the culture to make it seem weird to depend on the Anointing, but what’s really weird is to depend on human reasoning. Human reasoning is devoid of truth. Human reasoning makes up stuff and calls the made-up stuff “true.” Then it calls making up stuff and calling the made-up stuff reasonable when it’s actually insanity. What God tells us is the truth. It’s absolute. We may be dull of hearing, but God’s Words to us are absolute.

Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)

Those who desire to follow Christ know His voice. God knows how to communicate. In order to know anything, you have to know Someone (God) Who knows all things, can’t lie, wants to communicate truth, and is all-powerful to overcome the weakness of the human mind.

The Bible says a lot about those who are dull of hearing, and it shows what causes that dullness of hearing. Near the top of the list is listening to ungodly counselors. Rebellion! Rebellion is wanting to do what we want to do instead of God’s will. Pride! Pride destroyed Satan. Distractions! The cares and riches and pleasures of this life are intense distractions. Rebellion, pride, and distractions cause dullness of hearing.

What are the ways you can listen to God’s Spirit?
What is the Anointing?
Who is the Anointed One?
Why do ungodly people think it’s weird to depend on the Anointing?

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS TO ALL INCLUDING ATHEISTS.

Some people think the Holy Spirit doesn’t talk to people, but He speaks to every person. He even speaks to atheists.

The Bible says a lot about listening to God. The Holy Spirit comes from the Father and Jesus. He’s very real, and He talks to you. He wants to lead you every moment of your life. You need to listen to the Holy Spirit and follow His guidance. Galatians 5:16 says, if you follow the Holy Spirit, you won’t give in to wrong desires. The Holy Spirit helps you make good choices and guides you to do the right things (Romans 8:14). Even after God has set you free, the devil still wants to control you. If you walk in the Spirit, you don’t listen to the devil; you listen to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27) Christ will not only guide you into all truth, but He will tell you about things to come in the future. “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.” (John 16:13)

If you want power over your carnal nature, listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and yield to the power of grace so you can walk in what the Spirit told you to say and do. Galatians 5:16 says, “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Don’t fight against the Holy Spirit. Don’t discourage those who are learning to walk in the Spirit. As 1 Thessalonians 5:19 says, “Do not quench the Spirit.” If you don’t listen or don’t yield to the Spirit so you follow the direction of the Spirit, you quench the Spirit.

Ask God to answer these questions.
How many ways do you know about that the Holy Spirit talks to people?
How do you know God speaks even to people who don’t believe in God?
What’s the best way to listen to the Holy Spirit?
Why is it so important to follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance?
