“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel , saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”– Zechariah 4:6
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” – Hebrews 4:12
Through the Spirit, God’s command to His disciples is simple. He says, “Follow Me.”“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” - Matthew 16:24
Our relationship with God goes to a whole new level when we see the Bible as more than ancient history and old letters that were written to dead people. It’s more than a static set of instructions for believers to follow. God’s Word is a living map that the Holy Spirit uses to free us from the boundaries of time and space. Everything that happened in the Bible is also an unfolding story inside of us. As we follow Christ and obey through the ability of His Spirit, we are translated into His image, from glory to glory! God forms and reveals Christ in us, the hope of glory!”He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” – Ecclesiastes 3:11
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples.” – 1 Corinthians 10:1-6
“Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” - 1 Corinthians 10:11
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” – Colossians 1:3
“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,” - Galatians 4:19
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.2 Corinthians 3:18
God’s goal in the new birth is to transform us until we translate Christ’s image to our generation! He makes us living epistles, capable of telling History.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” – Acts 2:1-4
Why was this Gift given to the church? The Holy Spirit is our personal translator of God’s Word into the image of Christ.“Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.” - 2 Corinthians 3:3
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” - Hebrews 11:5
With these things in mind, we should remember God gives the increase and transformation is His business. By understanding His ways, however, we can understand how to cooperate with, and facilitate His process.“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” 1 Corinthians 3:7
“He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.” – Psalm 103:7
3 Phases of Personal Development This plan is designed to develop people in the following three areas: A Place to Belong (Identity) - Every person is uniquely extraordinary. This phase involves helping an individual or group to know who they are and aligning them to live and work from their strengths in a way that brings out the best in themselves and others and creates team synergy. It involves integrity:- The confidence to fully express who you truly are.
- The humility to avoid any prideful “front” or false identity in attempts to prove who you are. (In other words…when you truly know who you are there is no need to prove it to others. Your life and your work will speak for themselves.)
