Shifting Paradigms

From glory to glory, with new paradigms, the Lord assimilates.
New thought patterns in place, captivity to His Word liberates.
Leaving more of self behind as paradigms shift, He transforms.
Old thought patterns destroyed; new liberty emerges in the Spirit.
In faith and anticipation, what's next is embraced without limit.

New ways and habits established; fruit abundantly appears.
Based on former customs and practices, false premises disappear.
With paradigm shifts, greater anointing appears to press forward.
Filled with the Spirit, past strongholds disappear without agitation.
As strongholds of righteousness appear, foundations strengthen.

With each paradigm shift, fresh vision catapults further into destiny.
From glory to glory, gifting and talents come forth freely with clarity.
Going forth soberly, ministry births with a greater measure given.
Gifts differing in proportion to faith, vision with purpose release.
Faithfully ministering in God's ability, His presence increases.

As new paradigms take hold, pieces of the puzzle come together.
Distinctive pieces revealed, the picture becomes clearer.
Recognizing value in others, each piece finds its place.
Esteeming other pieces according to their value, glory releases.
Value releasing, His body emerges as the Spirit breathes life.

With ministry in the Spirit more glorious, righteousness exceeds.
Seeing ourselves transformed into His image, He leads.
As paradigms shift, we behold the glory of the Lord in a mirror.
Esteeming others in Christ, His presence is more evident.
From glory to glory, transformation of His body becomes excellent.


Now, the LORD is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the LORD, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the LORD.
2 Corinthians 3:17-18
