Shifting Paradigms
By Ken L Birks

From glory to glory we come into the presence of the Lord
New thought patterns are brought into the captivity of His Word.
Leaving more of self behind as paradigms shift, we transform.
Old thought patterns give way to new liberties in the Spirit.
With faith we anticipate and believe for what's next without limit.

With new ways and habits established, fruit begins to appear.
Former customs and practices based on false premises, disappear.
With each paradigm shift comes greater anointing to press forward.
With anointing, strongholds of the past are destroyed without agitation.
New strongholds of righteousness appear reinforcing the foundation.

With each paradigm shift we are taken further into destiny.
From glory to glory, gifting and talents come forth with clarity.
Going forth soberly, ministry is birthed with the measure given.
With gifts differing in proportion to faith, vision and purpose release.
Faithfully ministering in God’s ability, His glory and presence increase.

As new paradigms take hold, pieces of the puzzle come together.
The picture is clearer with distinction of each piece’s importance.
Value is seen in one another as each piece finds its place.
Esteeming other pieces according to their value, glory is released.
The body of Christ begins to emerge as the Spirit breathes life.

With the ministry of the Spirit now glorious, righteousness exceeds.
As we see ourselves transformed into His image, He leads.
As paradigms shift, we behold the glory of the Lord in a mirror.
When handling others as belonging to Christ, His presence is there.
From glory to glory, transformation of His body becomes clearer.
