God did not create us to be casual observers of history while we live here on earth. There is nothing casual about God! He is extreme, and He has called us to live extreme lives as history makers who live in constant increase as we go about transforming the world for His glory and His Kingdom, just as Jesus did!
Jesus was extreme, and He branded and seared everything He touched with the Father's glory. He never settled for or experienced partial success – because "partial" would not blaze the massive glory trails that He did that saw multitudes healed, saved, and delivered for generations following! Two thousand years later, His is still the greatest legacy any one human being ever has left on the face of the earth.
He walked, lived, breathed, and had His being in the brilliance of the Father's glory. Jesus knew of and tapped into the very fullness of the Spirit of God Himself. As a result, He solved every problem and met every need. Every battle, He won. When He sought a realm of revelation, He received it. He could enter into deep communion with His Father at will to receive downloads of wisdom and counsel. If Jesus needed foreknowledge, He had it. Whenever He needed the power to get things done, He got it, and thus, Jesus had confidence no matter what went on in the natural. He knew the Father intimately, walked in His peace, and transformed the earth.
Do you know that the Son's legacy made it possible for us to do the very same things that He did? The great and even greater miracles? That we have access to that very same fullness, the wisdom, and counsel – the power to do the tough stuff? Jesus walked the mountaintops when it came to drawing from the limitless supply of the fullness of God's Spirit so that we could journey in this life from the same heights He did – and from even greater altitudes than He did – when He lived on this earth. Because of our right of sonship through receiving Him (see John 1:12), His dynamic legacy of miraculous and enabling power is our privilege. Listen – even if we're in what the world may view as a pit, if we're suffering and covered in boils, losing everything, we're still living on that divine plateau that Jesus laid before us!
You Need Some Dynamite!
"But you shall receive power [dunamis: dynamite miraculous power, force, might, strength, enabling power through the Holy Spirit] when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:8
Dunamis power transforms – trust me! We're not talking firecracker-sized explosions of power here but dynamite force, seismic, cataclysmic power so great that when it comes upon us, we're enabled in such a way that nothing is impossible and everything is possible. It is an earth-shattering, limitless, unceasing, consistent, unending availability of mega-wattage, divine power that rattles the world around you.
Have you experienced the kind of power in your life that shakes, influences, moves, and transforms? You need it if you want to leave a legacy for the next generation and following generations.
What are You Settling For?
If you have not, it may be because you have settled for less than God has intended and made available to you all along by His precious Spirit. Many of us are content with partial victories because of a mindset of limitation. We visit a hospital to pray for a loved one but do not believe for every sick and dying person in the ward to be healed. People should beg to know Jesus when we walk into a room! Community, marketplace, and government leaders, even kings and presidents should be calling upon us for wisdom and strategy in high matters. More of us should be in media, on the Hollywood scene, in government leadership, and in places of high influence in the marketplace.
True, of late, people are employing their giftings and we are seeing powerful moves of the Holy Spirit across the land. People are coming to the knowledge of the saving power of Jesus, with miracles here and there, with blessings pouring into us, but we are not seeing the greater manifestations of God's might and power, the greater brightness of His glory flowing in and through us, empowering us to see truly incredible transformations.
How He did blaze those incredible historic highways was by flowing in the "rich treasure of His glory" that the apostle Paul speaks about; that treasure that fills you throughout all of your being unto ALL the FULLNESS of God (see Ephesians 3:16, 19) for that incredible, enabling dunamis power in all things. The Spirit of God and power go hand-in-hand. Paul himself said that his speech and preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in a demonstration of the Spirit and of power (see 1 Corinthians 2:4).
The Secrets of Jesus' Ministry Revealed
It is no secret!
Revelation 3:1 reveals that Jesus had the seven Spirits of God, and Isaiah 11:2 gives us more insight. The prophet wrote that the Holy Spirit Himself rested upon Jesus. From the Holy Spirit flowed wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
And the Bible says that Jesus had the Spirit of God upon Him without measure or limit – an unlimited anointing (see Luke 4:18, NLT).
Jesus blew the lid off limitation because He would not settle for a measure or for a limit. Human minds, wisdom, and ability are limited. He had to seek and rely on the fullness of God's Spirit upon Him in wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, and knowledge, which enabled Him to do the things He did that radically changed the very course of history. Only the FULLNESS of God's Spirit satisfied Him. He did not move an inch without that rich treasure upon Him and the Spirit's fullness thereof flowing out of Jesus' heart; His presence manifested in everything.
Jesus said:
"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.' But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified" (John 7:37-39).
Note that "river" is pluralized. This indicates multiple flows of the precious Holy Spirit. One Holy Spirit – seven functions or expressions of Him through you. It all starts with daily deep to deep communion with the Holy Spirit so that by His divine power we will be partakers of His nature in us (see 2 Peter 1:3, 4).
Each of these great flows of the precious Holy Spirit is available to every Believer to help us live in constant increase as we go about transforming the world for His glory. God desires us to see every function and expression of the sevenfold Spirit of God flow in and through our lives for total victory and searing success in bringing in the Kingdom of God. The sevenfold expressions of the Holy Spirit unfold the deep and mysterious secrets of the Kingdom and empower you to do the extraordinary so that Jesus will receive glory and honor through His great power working in and through you.
Conclusion
What it takes to transform a city in a day, or to bring home your prodigal, or to change government, or to see masses healed all at once, or to see growth in your ministry or personal life is His constant manifest presence upon you and the fullness of Him operating through you in wisdom, understanding, might, knowledge, and reverent fear of the Lord. It is an unlimited anointing available to all, which removes all limitation and impossibility.
If the Holy Spirit is the FULLNESS of God and God is eternal, ceaseless – then all of the attributes of His Spirit are, too. The Lord wants to release in and through your life these ceaseless rivers of living water so that your life would demonstrate daily the mighty and powerful flow of the Holy Spirit, that by His divine power, you can scar the land with His glory. Remember, partial victory doesn't make history!

I can only speak for myself. First, I had to understand by God’s revealing who I really am in Him, to know that where I was it was limiting me. I constantly look at the business name He gave me “Patricia’s Unlimited Services”. He broke the whole thing down to me, “there is no limitation of what I have for you”. You are the one that is holding you back, because there is no devil, no-no name can prevent you from fulfilling all that I have for you. And I have to repeat the scripture in 1 Sam 3:1-10. And when He showed that to me, it was a done deal, I begin to position myself. As it states here in our reading, Ephesians 3:16 (NKJV) 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. “How He did blaze those incredible historic highways was by flowing in the "rich treasure of His glory" that the apostle Paul speaks about; that treasure that fills you throughout all of your being unto ALL the FULLNESS of God (see Ephesians 3:16, 19) for that incredible, enabling Dunamis power in all things. The Spirit of God and power go hand-in-hand. Paul himself said that his speech and preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in a demonstration of the Spirit and of power (see 1 Corinthians 2:4). Ne”EMAN.
