From Glory To Glory Communion Service, October 2026 by Pastor Jerry Eze: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

From glory to glory

• From glory to glory. No limitation, no obstacle, no mountain, no setback.
• Yesterday will not be better than your today.
• Nothing from your yesterday will arise and haunt your future.
• Any garment of rejection, failure and limitation, fire.
• Any dryness in family, career, ideas or creativity, be reversed.
• The laughter of your mockers is cut short. The Lord will not allow them to complete that mockery.
• You will do better than those ahead of you, better than your mother, your father, your bosses.
• Higher grace, higher anointing, higher manifestation, higher evidence.
• Divine remembrance, divine access, divine capacitation, divine insight, divine foresight.
• Your new wine will not be poured into old wineskins.
• No one will lay any charge against you. God has justified you.

Revelation 21:5, Isaiah 43:19, Romans 8:33

Isaiah 60:1-5

Glory is stratified

In the business of God there is such a thing as growth. People are on different levels, either of understanding, of manifestation or of growth

Concerning glory, Paul says we are changed from glory to glory 2 Corinthians 3:18

In the Message translation: nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face, we are transfigured, becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives

There is a reason the emphasis is our face and his face. The entry point is the face

What do you find in the face? The eye, the ear and the mouth. At some point my eyes begin to see like his eyes. My ears begin to hear like his ears. My mouth begins to speak like his mouth. Until that happens there will not be complete transformation

Your biggest problem, why you are still stuck on this level of glory

You are still speaking like yourself. You are still hearing like you want to hear. You are so used to you, to how you were raised, to the situations you face, to what your mother and father told you

The Lord says, stop seeing like you. Start seeing like me. Start hearing like me. Start speaking like me

If you are stuck, ask yourself: who am I seeing like? Who am I hearing like? Who am I speaking like?

Illustration: "What do you see?"

The Lord asked Zechariah, "What do you see?" When Zechariah was done, God said, "You have seen well." In other words, what you have seen, I have already seen. I am waiting for you to see exactly the way I have seen

I can't be seeing your healing and you are seeing that you are sick. I can't be seeing that I have opened the door for you and all you are seeing are closed doors. I can't be seeing a 24-hour turnaround in your life and all you are seeing is a difficult situation

He goes to everyone and asks, "What do you see?" Whatever you see from now, if you see the way I am seeing, then I will grant it

Doxa and kabod

The Greek word for glory is doxa. The Hebrew is kabod

Doxa is the outward manifestation, the extrinsic part. The splendor, the beauty, the external works, the evidence that shows up and makes you say, "That is the glory of God"

Kabod is the intrinsic capacitation

You can be a carrier of glory and not yet have evidence. It doesn't mean there is no glory on the inside

You cannot carry kabod and not see doxa. They are not mutually exclusive. They are not separated from one another

You spend time in prayer, on the word, listening to messages, praying in the Holy Ghost. A level of glory enters you, and at that point it is intrinsic. Before it was seen as doxa, it was already kabod

Whether intrinsic or extrinsic, what matters is that whatever God is doing in your life in this season, the times you spent waiting on the Lord, he gave you a word, you felt the glory inside, and then he moves you into manifestation

1 Corinthians 15:41

There is a glory of the moon, a glory of the sun, a glory of the stars. Each one differs from another in glory

You are not going to be a five minutes Christian in prayer and compare your glory with someone who has spent time with God. Wake up and smell the coffee

The more you sleep, the more likely you are to slip. Every morning I am on the altar believing God. I am sacrificing a whole lot to be with God

As Jesus prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered and his garment became white and radiant Luke 9:29. It all came because of an encounter

When the drama is over, only glory men will last. When the charisma is over. Everybody can talk these days. Anybody can show drama. Anybody can make a declaration. But there is a glory that follows

Arise, shine: light precedes glory

Isaiah 60:1

Whenever a manifestation of the fullness of a next level glory is about to come, it usually comes with light

Light is the salvation of our souls John 1:5

Light is the word Psalm 119:105

Light is revelation, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened Ephesians 1:18

Whether as the word, as revelation or as the salvation of our souls, light precedes glory

The glory of this new season will not hobnob with darkness

If you have come to a point in your life where you don't know what to do, do what you know how to do. Trusting God is what you have known all your life. The devil wants to bring you to a point of telling you that you don't know what to do. Go back to what you know how to do

5 reasons men rise

Men rise because of a reason. These are the ones in the scripture:

1. A word

   Jesus spoke a word to the man at the pool of Bethesda John 5:8. The man arose because of the word

   Every word God is speaking to you today, let it cause your destiny to arise

2. Mind renewal

   Luke 15:17-18

   The prodigal son came to himself. His mind was under attack, that is why he missed his way. When the Lord realigned his mind, he rose

   When the devil wants to destroy your higher glory season, he takes your mind on a voyage of negativity

   2 Corinthians 10:5, Psalm 23

   God will break mindsets. Things you believe about yourself. Things you say can only happen this way. Things that try to make you look helpless and empty and cover all that God has said about you. Those are lies from the pit of hell

   When the prodigal came to himself he realized, I cannot settle where I have outgrown

3. Other men helped them

   The man at the beautiful gate Acts 3:6-7. Peter spoke the word, but they also held his hand and dragged him up. They gave him a word and they gave him a hand

   Some of you have gotten a word. All you need now is a hand

   There are people God has for you, if they would just stretch forth their hand. But the devil has designed and programmed wicked men

   May the Lord send you men who will stretch forth your hand before the end of October

4. Divine encounter

   Acts 12

   Peter was in prison. The angel hit Peter and said, "Arise," and the chains were broken. Peter did nothing. He was sleeping. Paul and Silas were the ones praying Acts 16

   There are men whose rising does not have a definition. You can't say they prayed. One moment of divine encounter. Their mother must be somewhere praying. Their father must be somewhere praying

   There was already a word over the life of Peter Matthew 16:18-19

   The angel didn't ask Peter why he had not been praying. He touched Peter and said arise, and everything fell off. No protocol. Just divine encounter

5. Warfare

   You don't fight everybody. The more you fight some people, the more you increase their favor

   There was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul weaker and weaker 2 Samuel 3:1. Not everybody you wake up to fight. This is the same David who carried food to his brethren in the battle 1 Samuel 17

   If God puts favor on a man, God is obligated to protect it. When you tamper with that favor, you are tampering with the one who put the favor there

   There are people you don't say "I will deal with you" about, because you don't know who brought them to where they are

   Paul said let no one trouble him Galatians 6:17

   God had an assignment for David, to gather what would be used to build the temple. Everything used to build the temple came by warfare. For every battle David fought, he carried something

   When the Lord wants to give you something, he brings warfare. If you are facing warfare, look at it and be pointing something. There is favor inside this thing. An open door. Global visibility. A shout of joy

The glory is in us

Isaiah said the glory is on you. By the new covenant, the glory is in us, and the glory in us is also working on us Colossians 1:27

It is the glory in us that is on us

That is why we do all the spiritual things we do. Before you step out, don't stop those tongues. You anoint yourself before you come out. You may not understand a prayer point, but you speak in the Holy Ghost

You step out and nothing happens on the first day. The second day you go out speaking in the Holy Ghost again. So mightily grew the word and prevailed Acts 19:20. My first tongues may be at the ankle, but the water is rising Ezekiel 47:3-5. All of a sudden they will say, "Where have you been?" Something has risen higher and higher

I cannot be carrying the king of glory and my life not be glorious. Your bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost 1 Corinthians 6:19. This is where he lives

That is why my words are glorious. That is why my steps are glorious. If they dislike you for no reason, that is the glory they see. You don't do too much but there is something about you they still don't like. You didn't come alone. As you were stepping in, the King of glory said, "That's my guy"

We are not the generation looking for cosmetic glory, an appearance that is supernaturally enabled for a season and a moment. "Father, clothe me with your glory," because you just want to go and get something and come back. No

Even when I want nothing, I sit in fellowship with the King of glory, because his glory defines me. His glory is my life

What sustains the glorified life

You need to eat to sustain your natural life. The glorified life is sustained by fellowship, by living on the word, by declaration, by embracing the fullness of God, and by the fellowship of the saints

Shut the door on anybody who drains you, anybody who affects the life of God inside you

Darkness is the reason for your light

Isaiah 60:2

Either you say, "God, grant me an encounter that breaks protocol so that I arise. Send me men so that I rise. Give me a word so that I rise. Turn this warfare into my rising"

There are conversations you shouldn't have because they are so dark. The more the devil infuses darkness in your environment, the more it is so that you will not shine. But you are a carrier of light

Every time you see a colon in English, the next sentence explains the reason for the first. The reason darkness covers the earth is that there is a generation the Lord is going to put light in and on

Isaiah 60:3

The Gentiles will come to your light. There is so much darkness around that the hope of a generation will be on the light you carry

I will not sit with a generation to discuss darkness, because their expectation of light is in me. What I do not do is discuss what I am the answer for

God prepared you. Every time you came to church and thought the word was for somebody else, he was telling you, "They are not the answer. You are the answer"

No one lights a candle and puts it under a bush Matthew 5:15. This is the attack of the enemy

The dragon pulled down a third of the stars Revelation 12:4. The stars did not stop being stars. The devil just brought them down to the ground

The devil does not mind you being light, as long as you are light without a platform, without visibility. So much skill, so much capacity, but no manifestation

An evil under the sun: servants riding on horses while princes walk Ecclesiastes 10:5-7

Whenever I see darkness I remember: why are my eyes the ones that open to see it? Because there is something about me that is supposed to shine light in that area

Their mediocrity cannot be my excellence. Their darkness is why I am here to shine light

Illustration: the street with light

When I was a child our transformer blew and our whole street had no light. The next street had light because a man there had tapped light

Everything that needed light, like ironing school uniforms, we did in their house. They didn't ask us to come. The man would shout us away, and we came back the next day. We didn't like how nasty he was, but he had life

There is a time in your life you don't ask people to choose you. What you have will make them run after you. It might be the peace you exude. It might be the audacity of your faith. They don't have to like you. They don't have to be your friend

Every light God gives you is to solve a problem. Your light is not to show off. My light is for an assignment

Kings come not to how you have risen, but to the brightness of your rising Isaiah 60:3

If you have ever risen, keep rising

• May the Lord beautify you again.
• May the Lord give you an idea again, another favor, another visibility.
• May your generation run after you.

Communion and offering

• Every liquid you have, it ceases to be ordinary. It becomes the blood of Jesus.
• Every substance you have, it ceases to be ordinary. It becomes the flesh of Jesus.
• Eat of the flesh of Jesus and drink of the blood of the new covenant. It is done.
• Let the blessings of those who have honored the Lord with their offerings, their tithes and their partnership be your portion.
• The devourer is rebuked for your sake. The windows of heaven are opened until there is not room enough to contain Malachi 3:10-11

Glory will not turn to shame

Psalm 84:7

Everyone, not some people, everyone who appears before the Lord in Zion moves from strength to strength. They don't move from strength to weakness, from strength to feebleness. That is why I know you are moving from glory to glory

There are other levels of glory to be unveiled. The Lord has brought you this far and has not finished what he has to do in your life

Your yesterday is not the measure of your tomorrow. Your today is not a measure of what you can become

John 2:1-11

A wedding at Cana. A glorious moment for the couple. In the midst of dancing and shouting, the wine finished. Glory was about to turn to shame

Jesus was in the house, and he will never allow glory to turn to shame. He turned the water to wine. Glory did not turn to shame, it turned to more glory. People marveled at how sweet the wine was. That was when the glory of Jesus was revealed

Those who saw you in your former glory and mock your present house. Let them. The Lord said he would shake the heavens, the earth, the sea and the dry land, and the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former Haggai 2:3, Haggai 2:6-9

2 Corinthians 4:17

I don't care what the affliction is. Something is coming that is bigger than you prayed for. It is a far more exceeding weight of glory that will envelop you

Declarations for the remaining months

• Nothing goes wrong around me. I walk in daily victory.
• My enemies scatter before they gather. Even before I ask, he answers.
• No detail of my life escapes his watchful eyes. I am not afraid of the devices of the enemy.
• The God who sees me, this is my confidence. He sees to change, to direct, to lift, to demonstrate his power, to turn things around, to show me mercy daily.
• I will live in the consciousness of your presence. I will stand as a true soldier of the kingdom.
• I will give my all, my body, soul and spirit, my finances and my time, all for the kingdom.
• El Roi, my lifter, my advocate, my helper, the solid rock on which I stand. I am not alone.
• Heaven and earth, my case is different. I have seen the God who sees me Genesis 16:13

Trusted with gates

Acts 3:1-11

The previous chapter unveiled Pentecost. Peter recalled the prophecy of Joel and answered those who said they were drunk Joel 2:28, Acts 2:13-17

This is a higher glory season. We are the generation that will fulfill prophecy. We don't care what the devil has said. Say, I will fulfill prophecy

If God is going to do something higher with you, he is going to trust you with gates

There are too many believers who believe they can play, but they can't play at the gates. There are believers God should never hand gates. "Lord, just bless me. Do well with me in my corner. Visit my family"

There is a mentality shift God is bringing. The man at the beautiful gate would not have been healed if Peter and John had not realized that their mandate would begin at the gate

Gates of life are where decisions are made. Gates are where authority is bestowed. Markets, exchanges, transactions, watchmen and the watchtower are all at the gate

Heaven says, "I am going to put a man at the gate, and I want to trust you with the gate. Will I bring you to the gate and you will not take charge? Will you say it is someone else's responsibility?" You were not in charge of the gate, but I can make you control the gate

Peter and John were called ignorant and unlearned men Acts 4:13. They had no business doing anything at the gate. Even though not in charge, they could control the gate

Controlling the gate first comes with a mindset: "If you brought me this far, I am not a byword. You have come to teach me to be audacious in control." I may not be in charge, but I can control it

A glory season is looking for men who say, "Lord, I am ready to intercede for the gate. I am ready to build capacity for the gate. I am ready to be audacious and take charge at the gate"

There are industries where some say, "We determine what happens here." But God is raising you with a different oil and a different grace. Say, I am rising to take over the gate

The gates of hell shall not prevail Matthew 16:18

There is an uncommon grace God is releasing for the gate. You have built other people's enterprises and delivered other people's deliverables. Now the Lord is positioning you at the gate

What God points you to at the gate

The first time God positions you at the gate of any industry, enterprise or ministry, he points you to a crippled man. He trusts you with the capacity to solve a problem

People's interest in you will be in what you have solved, not where you are. The days are coming when people will not respect your title but will gravitate to a problem solver

Those who will be irrelevant are those God put at the gate who saw the crippled man and did nothing. You are not at the gate for cruise

When God wants to take a man to a glory season, he hands over a gate. Usually it is a gate with a problem, not with an answer. You will deal with equipping people, ignorance, opposers, slanderers and gossips

Tell yourself it is familiar terrain. That's why I am here. Lift up your heads, O gates Psalm 24:7

They will tell you nobody has ever done this before. "We went to that place and it didn't work." It didn't work there because God positioned me to make it work here

• Uncommon insight, understanding and wisdom to solve problems at the gates of your industry, rest upon you now.

Look on us: focus

Acts 3:4

When a higher glory season is coming, all heaven mandates is focus

Prophecies have been released again and again. Just about the time of manifestation, you lost focus Psalm 87:3

A single eye fills the whole body with light Matthew 6:22

Not losing focus in faith, in passion, in zeal, in commitment, in belief, in creativity

This new season does not require laziness, "I will do it later", procrastination and postponement

The opportunity you have now is, for some, the last chance of a divine relevance. And on top of it, the devil is defocusing you

You lost focus the last time God came through for you. He covered your shame. You lost focus again. The adversary is after you, so you cannot afford to lose focus 1 Peter 5:8

You are not the man you were last year. You are not the man you were last month. Those defocusing you have nothing to lose

Hebrews 12:2

I can't be calling myself a believer and yet not believing. I'm done with hypocrisy. I'm picking up my focus

Nehemiah would not come down from his assignment Nehemiah 6:3

You soon call it an attack. But where did your prayer life go? Where did your discernment go? Where did your consistency on the altar go? You lost focus

What is coming after you wants your life. It doesn't want money. Be sober and vigilant

There are people standing by to tell the story of how you failed. There are unfriendly friends

Promise me you won't let their laughter be real. Promise me you won't validate them with your weakness. Promise me you will forget those things which are behind Philippians 3:13

A young man, a young woman, a child, your son, your father, your mother, are waiting on your prayer. Prayer is what will do it, and you are losing focus in a higher glory season

Every Peter needs a John

Every Peter needs a John and every John needs a Peter. Sometimes when God wants to bring a man to a higher glory season, he gives you a destiny connection

If Peter was not necessary, God wouldn't have mentioned him. If John was not necessary, God wouldn't have mentioned John

What heralded this new season was prayer

They were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer Acts 3:1

How I know a higher glory season is upon you is your hunger for prayer

When you begin to suffer a spiritual lack of appetite for prayer, something is about to go wrong in your life. "I don't know why I'm so tired I can't pray." Know that the devil is planning something

From glory to glory is a thing of prayer

A higher glory season is a prayer season

Isaiah 66:8-9

When Zion travails, she brings forth

Not settling for names

How I know you have discerned a higher glory season is that you are not settling for names. All you want is manifestation

The gate was called Beautiful, but there was a crippled man there. I have a good name, but I want to see a manifestation. I have a good degree, I want to see a manifestation. I have received a good prophecy, I want to see a manifestation. I have been told it's a new season, I want to see a manifestation

Such as I have

Acts 3:6

Peter and John were telling the man: we know what you receive from others, but that's not what we are going to give you. We operate by a different set of systems

We know what others bank on, hope on and rely on. Most of what others do, we cannot do because we don't have it. We don't know the people they know. We cannot cut corners. We cannot give a bribe. We cannot go where they go. We cannot sleep with them

But there is something called such as I have

Such as I have cannot disappoint me. Such as I have will not let me down. Such as I have will not bring me shame

I don't have their type of certificate. I don't know who they know. There will always be someone finer, better, with more equipment, more connected than you in your line of business. But there is something called such as I have

When a higher glory sets in, the games are no longer by the rules. It is by who controls the rules

Your expectation might be silver and gold, or who I know. I don't have it. What I have is El Roi, the God who sees me, the God of my journey. The life of God in me. He who began a good work in my life Philippians 1:6

The dust may rise, but I see you

Elisha had to keep his eyes on Elijah as he was taken 2 Kings 2:10

A whirlwind came. The wind throws up the sand and dust. It is enough to make you lose focus. But Elisha cried out 2 Kings 2:11-12

In other words: no matter what happens, the dust may have risen, but Lord, I see you

Forget how you lost focus. I know you are not proud of yourself. That is what the devil is telling you now. Draw the line and tell the devil: all the loss of focus of the past months and years, I am done

I am focused on my assignment. I am focused on my calling. I am focused on my ministry. I am focused on the reason God brought me here, because a destiny must be fulfilled

• Every liquid you have becomes the blood of Jesus.
• Every substance you have becomes the flesh of Jesus.
• The next 14 days will bring newness. It is done.

Carriers of glory

2 Corinthians 3:7-8

If the glory upon Moses was so glorious that people could not look at his face, that glory has been done away with. How much more the glory of the Spirit, where you are not just radiating glory but carrying glory himself, Christ in you, the hope of glory Colossians 1:27

The glory of Moses could be covered with a veil. But the glory we radiate cannot be covered. We are with an unveiled face, beholding the image of the Lord and being changed from one level of glory to another

If you see me radiating glory today, you will never meet me at the same level twice. One glory upon another, one dimension upon another, back to back

You are carrying the measure of glory of those he predestined, called, justified and glorified Romans 8:30. What shall we say to these things? If God be for us Romans 8:31

Everybody connected to the devil, his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, his bodyguard, they cannot cover my glory because I am carrying glory

Higher glory: altered on the mountain

Luke 9:28-36

When you gave your life to Christ, a special kind of life was given to you. It is called the Zoe life

The Zoe life is a glorified life. It is not a corrupted life. It is the life we share with Jesus. It is an indestructible life

The Zoe life is fired up by fellowship, by the word and by the increase of the anointing upon your life

The major difference between you and an unbeliever is that you carry the glory of God

The glory of God is the transferred DNA of God inside you. It is the signature of the Most High upon your life

The glory of God is no longer seen in dazzling lightning. It is seen by the weight of his works on your life, in the revelation of God you carry, the weight of his presence

Sometimes when God wants to work out his glory upon your life, he uses troubling situations. Jesus said of Lazarus's sickness that it is not unto death but for the glory of God John 11:4

Romans 8:18

Scorn, mockery, ridicule, depression, oppression, all these things are raw materials for the manifestation of the glory of God. You are qualified

Glory is not spooky and it is not necessarily extrinsic. We think of Moses, whose face the children of Israel could not look at. But the first capacitation of glory is the glorified life of God in you

You don't have a choice but to manifest the glory of God. You say good morning to somebody and they feel the glory. You cannot cook soup and demons not fly out of the person who ate it. You are a carrier of glory

If a juju man can boast, "Because of what I collected from a native doctor, if I touch you something will go wrong with you," what of you who have the indwelling presence and power of God

Jesus took them up into a mountain to pray

He didn't take them to a valley or level ground. He took them up to a mountain to pray

If you ever find yourself on a mountain, pray. Your mountain is not a comfort zone. "Pastor, I am seeing new favors. Doors that have not opened for me are suddenly opening." Pray

You heard that the higher you go the cooler it becomes. On this side of the kingdom, the higher you go, the hotter it becomes

The devil did not fight anybody without a destiny. Show me one person he fought who had nothing. A Moses, I will contest your body even when you die Jude 1:9. A Samson, I will set Delilah on you Judges 16. A David, I will keep Bathsheba somewhere for you 2 Samuel 11

If the ministration of death was this glorious, what will the ministration of the Spirit look like? 2 Corinthians 3:7-8

Whenever you are ready for a new season of glory, God must alter something

As Jesus prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered Luke 9:29

You came to this service knowing you are due for a new season of glory, but there are status quos still standing. It might be a mindset, an arrow, an atmosphere

• If it is a mindset, an atmosphere, a seed of the enemy, let it be altered.
• If it is an inherited pattern, an arrow, manipulation, low self-esteem, perversion or a besetting sin, let it be altered.
• If it is the way you see things, fear of tomorrow, opposition, battles you don't know where they are coming from, a habit working against you, let it be altered.
• Anything blocking my glory, break.

Prayer pulls your future forward

The glorified Jesus was supposed to be seen after the resurrection. But as Jesus was praying, what was supposed to happen after resurrection began to happen while he was still wearing flesh and blood

Prayer is a realm with no restriction and no containment, where nobody can shut down the workings of the supernatural

While he was praying, he didn't need to die to become the glorified one. He was pulling something in the spirit, and the glorified one began to align

There are things they told you are far. There are things they said would take one year. As he began to pray, glory began to align

If something must be altered for you to be a wonder earlier than the time, the program and the calendar of men must be altered. Sometimes it is a mindset, a besetting sin, your atmosphere

It is not by calendar. It is by grace

There is no glory without prayer. Pray yourself into a new level. It's not English. It is prayer

When the glory comes, you will not need to introduce yourself. You will not need to do too much

Keep altering. Mortify the deeds of the flesh Colossians 3:5

Psalm 106:20

I cannot come for a glory service and tell them I came to church as a religion. God forbid

• What God has altered will never come back again.
• Your life will never remain the same again.
• Everything that has been altered by God, let it be flushed out of your body, soul and spirit, and all that needs to manifest in you, let it erupt.
