From Glory to Glory: Living in the Fullness of the Holy Spirit

In this 10-part series, we will explore the transformative journey of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit through the story of Sarah, a believer who embraced her identity in Christ. By understanding the principles of faith, power, and intimacy with God, we can live a life that reflects His glory and purpose. Let’s dive into the various aspects of this journey, where you will be encouraged to walk in the power that Jesus promised.

1. The End Vision - Walking in Greater Works Than Jesus

Imagine reaching a point in your walk with God where you fulfill what Jesus predicted in John 14:12: “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.” This is where our journey leads—walking in complete alignment with the Holy Spirit, operating in power, and doing greater works than Jesus did. Sarah, a believer, exemplifies this level of commitment and trust in God.

2. Sarah’s Secret to Living in Power - Complete Surrender

Sarah began her journey with a pivotal decision—total surrender to God. Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” This complete surrender allowed the Holy Spirit to take full control. Through fasting, prayer, and daily renewal of her heart, Sarah learned to yield to the Holy Spirit. The more she surrendered, the more the Spirit moved through her.

3. Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit - The Root of Manifestation

Before walking in the miraculous, Sarah focused on cultivating the fruit of the Spirit, as outlined in Galatians 5:22-23. This included love, joy, peace, and kindness. By working on her character, she laid the foundation for the miraculous gifts of the Spirit. Her patience and kindness allowed her to represent Christ effectively.

4. Developing Intimacy - Sarah’s Encounters with the Father

Sarah discovered that her power stemmed from intimate encounters with God. James 4:8 says, “Come near to God and he will come near to you.” This intimacy allowed her to experience God’s presence tangibly. Just like Jesus withdrew to pray (Luke 5:16), Sarah prioritized her time with God, which became her greatest delight.

5. The Seven Spirits of God - Walking in Wisdom and Understanding

Isaiah 11:2 speaks of the Seven Spirits of God. Sarah learned to walk in these dimensions, receiving divine insight to speak into people’s lives. This fullness of the Spirit allowed her to live beyond the ordinary, fulfilling God’s purpose for her.

6. The Authority of the Believer - Commanding Creation

Operating in authority was vital for Sarah. She referenced Mark 11:23, where Jesus said to speak to the mountain. In a drought-stricken village, she prayed for rain, and it poured out just as Elijah did in 1 Kings 18. Understanding her position in Christ empowered her to command creation.

7. Daily Walk in Miracles - Healing, Provision, and Deliverance

Sarah's life exemplified God's miraculous power in everyday situations. Acts 10:38 highlights Jesus’ anointing, which Sarah emulated by praying for the sick and providing for those in need. Miracles became a daily occurrence for her, affirming the Spirit's work within her.

8. Overcoming Challenges - The Power of Persistence

While walking in power, Sarah faced challenges, as Jesus did. John 16:33 reminds us that troubles will come, but we should take heart. Sarah learned that persistence in faith was crucial. When miracles didn’t manifest immediately, she kept praying, drawing inspiration from Elijah’s perseverance.

9. Bringing Heaven to Earth - Manifesting God’s Kingdom

Sarah’s goal was to bring Heaven to Earth, as Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:10. She transformed communities and restored hope. Her life was about more than miracles; it was about fulfilling God’s original intention.

10. Encouragement for the Journey - The Glorious Privilege

Sarah’s story is not just an exception; it’s an invitation. As 2 Corinthians 3:18 reveals, we are transformed into God’s image with ever-increasing glory. Yielding to the Holy Spirit allows believers to experience this transformation.

Conclusion: Your End is Glorious

This series illustrates the potential of a life fully yielded to the Holy Spirit. Sarah’s journey encourages every believer to seek God wholeheartedly. You are called to bring the Kingdom of God wherever you go, stepping into your royal identity and living in the fullness of glory.

Scriptures Describing the Process of God

The idea that some individuals have a deeper understanding of God's ways and processes is illustrated in the verse which is from Psalm 103:7 : "He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel." This distinction highlights the difference between witnessing God's acts (His miracles and interventions) and understanding His character and the principles behind those acts. Here are several scriptures that emphasize understanding God's processes, ways, or principles: Isaiah 55:8-9 : "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." Proverbs 3:5-6 : "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
