Every Christian is a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, as we all should know from our experience and from feedback that others give us -- as well as our own observation of other Christians. At one time we may act as filled with the Spirit and at another time as a child of Adam. This situation is the result of two facts: (1) We have been born again -- old things have passed away and all has become new; (2) We still have indwelling Sin, which dwells in our "flesh" (old human nature or old man) See 1 John: If we say that we have no Sin, we deceive ourselves; See Romans 7, where Sin is said to dwell in our "flesh."
The difference between being in the Old Man status and in the New Man status is trans-form-ation (meta-morph-o-sis). The Christian has two forms (Greek word morphe = form). Romans 12:1-2 and 2 Cor. 3:18 speak directly to the issue of transformation. In Galatians Paul states that he is in travail until Christ be formed (morphed) in the readers. Ephesians speaks of putting off the Old Man and putting on the New Man. Romans 13 speaks of putting on Christ.

Scripture indicates at least 2 ways of enhancing the transformantion. One is meditating on the love of Christ, which constrains us. The other is beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord ( = the Lord Jesus), who is the founder of the new race of man, a race which has the Christ form. The "mirror" at our disposal is the Bible (see James on mirror).

One can get out one's Bible and highlight the passages wherein the Glory of YHWH (Yahweh, Jehovah = THE LORD)is presented, although in a secondary sense all of scripture shows His glory. I will quote some of the passages on the Glory of YHWH below. To view more of them I direct you to my own website: BibleAndTheology.com

tarried upon the tabernacle,
abiding thereon,

quaked And
were shaken, because
He was wroth.
There went up a smoke out of His nostrils,
And fire out of his mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.

He bowed the heavens also and came down;
And thick darkness was under his feet. And

He rode upon a cherub and flew; Yea,
He was seen upon the wings of the wind. And

He made
darkness pavilions round about him,
Gathering of waters,
thick clouds of the skies.

At the brightness before him Coals of fire were kindled.

YHWH thundered from heaven, And
the Most High uttered his voice. And
He sent out
arrows and scattered them,
Lightning and discomfited them.
Then
the channels of the sea appeared,
The foundations of the world were laid bare
By the rebuke of YHWH,
At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

He sent from on high, He took Me;
He drew Me
out of many waters;
He delivered Me
from My strong enemy,

And came down;
And thick darkness was under His feet.

And did fly;
Yea, He soared upon the wings of the wind.

His pavilion round about him,
Darkness of waters,
Thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness before Him
His thick clouds passed,
Hailstones
And coals of fire.

And the Most High uttered his voice,
Hailstones And
coals of fire.
14 And He sent out his arrows and scattered them;
Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
