Summary
Drawing from Ephesians 5:15-17, Zac Poonen teaches that true wisdom lies in understanding God's will, which is to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit. As believers take up their cross daily and deny themselves, their spiritual capacity grows progressively—from a cup to a bucket to a tub to a pond to rivers—allowing greater measures of the Spirit's life and power to flow through them. This progressive transformation is available to all who remain thirsty for more of Christ and believe in His power to change them completely.

Don't walk as unwise, but as wisePaul instructs believers in Ephesians to walk carefully and wisely, avoiding foolishness even in good churches.Ephesians 5:15
What is the will of the Lord?Wisdom is defined as understanding the will of the Lord, which commands believers not to get drunk with wine but to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit.
Beginning with a cup of salvationThe Christian life begins when a person lifts up a cup to receive salvation and is filled with the Spirit.Psalm 116:13
Increasing inner capacity by taking up the crossJust as educational capacity grows with study, spiritual capacity increases as believers take up the cross and die to themselves daily.
From a cup to a bucket, tub, pond, and riverWholehearted obedience over time expands a believer's spiritual capacity from a cup to a bucket, a tub, a pond, and eventually a river.
An invitation to the thirstyJesus stands and invites those who are thirsty for more than just forgiven sins to come to Him and drink.John 7:37–38
Moving beyond an endless cycle of fallingMany Christians remain content in an endless cycle of sin and forgiveness because they are not truly thirsty for complete victory over things like temper and lust.
Rivers of living water for those who trust in HimThrough faith and ongoing trust, God desires that many rivers of the Spirit flow out from every believer, and Jesus is a friend to failures who can change them completely.
