To Grow from Faith to Faith, Glory to Glory

When we are born again, each of us receives a measure of anointing (Ephesians 1:13-14). However, it is important to note that we don't instantly receive the full measure of the anointing. Instead, we must cultivate and grow in it, gradually increasing from one level to another level until we reach the level of anointing that Jesus carried.

There are two fundamental principles to increase anointing within us.

First principle is growing  from faith to faith

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” ( Romans 1:17 NKJV)

Second principle involves growing from glory to glory

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV)

How to grow from Faith to Faith?

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

The original Greek text translate as 'So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ'. The verse affirms that faith originates from hearing, and hearing the message of Christ's finished work on the cross that we receive salvation, forgiveness and new life. God's unmerited favor, love and empowerment extended to us through Christ. 

We can achieve this by immersing ourselves in the Word of God, reading scripture aloud daily basis, allowing His words to empower our faith, renew our minds, and fill us with His divine presence. It's through faith in His grace that we experience freedom, restoration and deepening relationship with Him. As our faith increase, so does our anointing. 

How to grow from glory to glory?

The glory of God is the manifest presence of God.

1. Prayer, soaking, spend time with God (We can nurture this growth through prayer, spending dedicated time with God, just as Moses did when he entered the Tabernacle to offer sacrifices. As we seek His presence, His glory fills us, transforming us into His image from one level of glory to another)

Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came near the altar, they washed, as the LORD had commanded Moses. And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the screen of the court gate. So Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. ( Exodus 40:32-34 (NKJV)


2. Praise & Worship (As seen in Solomon's temple, when the worshippers were united in praising and thanking the Lord, His glory descended upon the house of God, rendering the priests unable to continue ministering)

indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. ( 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 NKJV)


SECRET TO DO GREATER WORK

The secret to performing greater works lies in our conviction and belief that Jesus lives within us. Understanding that the same Jesus who created the universe and is the Lord of Glory resides in us empowers us to carry out His works. In fact, Jesus Himself assures us that we can do the same works He did, and even greater works (John 14:12). Embracing this truth unlocks the potential to manifest His power and impact the world around us."

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. (John 14:10-11 NKJV)
