Paradigms Of The Believer 4


If we are hearing, seeing, or reading from a platform of legalism, regulation, and conditional standards of acceptance by the Father, it will always produce death, heavy burdens and slavery.
But a New Covenant view will bring the hearer into a place of assurance and confidence and freedom in the Lord. It will be life and righteousness. because it will depend on Him for everything. It is faith.

It all depends on the spirit and paradigm that we receive from.
Two individuals can read or hear or share the same scripture, saying the same thing, but one leaves you feeling death and not-good-enough, killing the initiative of the believer to hear from the Lord, manifest His glory, and be transformed into His likeness. The other will bring you into the place of knowing the Lord in a deeper more intimate way and experiencing the freedom and liberty of the Spirit who is the Lord. You experience life.

Two platforms: One is a New Covenant with an emphasis on life; One an Old Covenant with an emphasis on death. One builds your faith and sets you free, the other leaves you in doubt and slavery to fear.
Romans10:        8But what does it say? The Word (God's message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach, AMP
