From Glory to Glory: The Light That Transforms Us
“For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory.” (2 Corinthians 3:17–18)
The veil is gone. The blindness is broken. The Spirit of God lives on the inside of us, and we are being changed into His glorious image. This is not theory. This is not poetry. This is spiritual reality.
Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is — freedom. Liberty. Atmosphere-shifting presence. And that Spirit is not hovering somewhere above you; He is in you. The same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead is transforming you from glory to glory.
Knowing Him and the Power of His Resurrection
Paul prayed, “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection.” Something deep inside every believer cries out for this. The hunger to be changed. The desire to reflect Him. The longing to move from one realm of glory into another.
Our minds are being renewed. Our thinking is shifting. The emotional wobbles and the soul-level bondages are lining up with the Spirit of the living God. The Word becomes alive, sharp, powerful — dividing soul from spirit, revealing truth, cutting away darkness.
Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. That liberty is not passive — it is the anointing teaching, revealing, opening the depths of God. Deep calls unto deep.
Since God Has Given Us This New Way, We Never Give Up
This is why Paul continues: “Since God in His mercy has given us this new way, we never give up.” (2 Corinthians 4:1)
Trials do not break us. Pressure does not silence us. Shameful deeds and underhanded methods have no place in us. We don’t twist the Word. We don’t hide behind shadows. We tell the truth plainly.
And if the gospel is hidden, it is hidden from those blinded by the god of this world. But not from us. Our eyes are open. The veil is removed. We see the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
“Let There Be Light” — Both in the Universe and in You
Then Paul stops and pulls our attention to the very beginning: “For God, who said, ‘Let there be light in the darkness’…” (2 Corinthians 4:6)
Pause and think. The God who spoke to the void — Light be — and light exploded across emptiness, galaxies formed, universes stretched, creation unfolded…
That same God has made His light shine in our hearts. The same light that shattered the dominion of darkness in the beginning has shattered the darkness inside you.
You have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. The light of God — the glory that radiates from the face of Jesus Christ — lives in you.
Hallelujah. That light is not dim. That light is not weak. That light carries the atmosphere of heaven itself.
Treasure in Fragile Clay Jars
And yet… “We have this treasure in jars of clay.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)
Why would God put such glory into fragile humanity? To make it clear: the power is from God, not from us.
Oh, for the church to have a revelation of this! The knowledge of God, the knowledge of His glory, the knowledge of the light shining in the face of Jesus — all contained within you.
Your Heart Flooded With Light
This is why Paul prays in Ephesians 1:
“I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given.”
The same glory shining in the face of Jesus floods your heart. Your eyes are open. The blindness is broken. You are no longer limited to natural sight — you see by faith.
You see vision. You see hope. You see destiny. You see what cannot yet be touched.
And faith — birthed by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word of God — takes what you see in the Spirit and brings it into manifestation.
Light That Shines in the Valley
This is how you face temptings, tests, and trials: You’re filled with light.
You may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but shadows cannot dominate someone who carries light. When you turn, the shadow flees.
Other people see the light in you. You are marked with purpose, marked with assignment, marked with spiritual identity.
You carry the flame — like an Olympic torch bearer — except this flame never dims, never goes out, never loses power.
The Same Resurrection Power Lives in You
Paul continues: “I pray you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe.” (Ephesians 1:19)
The same power that raised Christ from the dead… The same authority that seated Him above every ruler, every power, every name… That power lives in you and operates through you.
And if Christ is seated, you are seated — raised up with Him, united with Him, sharing the same position of victory.
You Are God’s Masterpiece
Ephesians 2:10 declares: “We are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good things He planned long ago.”
The light leads you into those good things. The glory equips you. The Spirit empowers you. The resurrection power energizes you.
There is more to you than meets the eye, because you are filled with light.
Hallelujah.
