We aren’t just talking about Christ. We’re imparting Christ, the logos, the utterance, the word of God. He lives in the words we speak if we speak by the Holy Spirit. Whoever rejects those words, if they come from Christ speaking through us, is rejecting Christ directly.

The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy. Even if we just say Jesus is Lord, no one can sincerely make this confession unless that person is speaking by the power and authority of the Holy Spirit. Whenever we speak by the power and authority of the Holy Spirit, we proclaim Christ.

When you speak by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is speaking through you. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy.

We can solve the problem of paradigms by yielding to the Spirit of Christ. He’ll demolish these strongholds over time as we yield to Him. It’s the only way.

We confirm our paradigms using circular reasoning to trick ourselves. That’s confirmation bias. Our paradigms distort our perceptions. That distortion confirms our paradigms as real even though our paradigms aren’t real.

Paradigms (worldviews) cause problems. They seem real, but they aren’t real. They seem so real that they taint our observations and perceptions.

God keeps us on track despite our weaknesses. Even when we get off the pathway because of our desires that trick us, God will put us back on the path if we confess our faults to Him. He’s well able to complete the work He started in us.

The biblical pattern of the church is absolutely necessary to complete God’s work of transformation.

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)
As we submit to the Holy Spirit, we stop resisting Him and we sense that He’s moving within us and through us. In His light, the darkness of the flesh dies to some degree every time we keep in step with the Holy Spirit. Scripture says the Holy Spirit is transfiguring us from glory to glory into the image and likeness of Christ.

God is asking us to say only His words and to do only His acts. That’s walking in the Spirit. Our part is yielding. To yield is to stop fighting against God, to stop resisting Him. The reason we have to allow God to work His righteousness in us is that God won’t force us. We must be willing.
