Key to grow from power to power, glory to glory - Pastor Paul Ang

The most difficult crossing is from the Kingdom to His power & glory. The last sentence of the Lord’s Prayer… “For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever” which every Christians recite the prayer often. When Moses went to the mountain of the burning bush, God told him to take off his sandals telling him not to come any nearer for the ground he was standing is holy ground (Exodus 3:5).

We need the blood to cleanse our hearing, our service and our walk. We need the Holy Spirit’s anointing to hear, to serve and to walk as we should. Both the blood of Jesus and the anointing of the Holy Spirit are necessary parts of our ‘great salvation” (Hebrews 2:3).

God has made us “kings & priest unto our God” (Revelation 1:6). He wants us to have the power of kings and purity of priests. We must experience His full anointing to have this. When we start talking to God about power, He starts talking to us about purity!

Balak summoned Balaam to curse Israelites but God told Balaam, “Do not go with them. You must not put a curse on these people, because they are blessed” (Numbers 22:12). Hence, Balaam could not curse them. However, Balaam’s advice to the Midianites to lure the Israelites into sin as a mean to turn the Israelites away from God (Numbers 31:16).

Only holiness & purity will keep us from growing from power to power, glory to glory. As human, we are incapable of walking in God’s holiness. Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, “With man, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Hence, we need His mercy, grace, anointing and the blood to purify us so that we will continue to grow spiritually & powerfully as Christian.

A true love of God must begin with a delight in his holiness. -- Jonathan Edwards
