Transformation by the Word

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)

It is the desire of the Spirit that all His children be transformed into the image of Christ, going from glory to glory, and it is this transformation that brings greater liberty in the Spirit. Unfortunately, most of us do not know how to be transformed from one glory to another in the Spirit. The Word of God is the glory of God, and as we look into it, that same glory is mirrored to us.

This is what happened to Moses on the mountain. After spending forty days and nights with God, receiving the law from Him, Moses had no idea what was taking place in his body as God spoke to him. His body had absorbed the light and glory of God as he received God's Word. This is remarkable, because the experience teaches us that if anyone spends adequate time with the Word, the glory, light and power of the Word will affect even his mortal body.

Meditation is key. It is one of the most important spiritual practices in our walk with God, for it is by this process that our spirits, souls and bodies assimilate the glory of God. It is our destiny to live in His glory, to become His glory, and ultimately to express it to creation. Let us consider how much the Word, and what we do with it, matters to our spiritual progress and destiny. Become and reflect the glory by spending more time with the Word.
