The Paradigm Shift of Triumph
Devotional Reading: - 2 Corinthians 3:7-18
When the words "paradigm shift"
come to mind, many theoretical concepts can be used to make a logical definition. A paradigm is normally defined as a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitute a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline. Shift means to change direction, position, place, or form. So a Triumphant paradigm shift means to adjust and develop a spirit filled organization of anointed people whose direction, position, place and form is successfully programmed to overcome, conquer, and subdue everything that works against the expansion of God's earthly-kingdom.
God instituted the first paradigm shift when He created the heavens and the earth. When the earth was void and without form, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. When God said let there be light, a paradigm shift took place in the whole universe and it continues to take place today. When Noah preached, "It's going to rain" for 120 years and built
an ark, a paradigm shift was taking place. When Moses told Pharaoh to let God's people go and led Israel across the red sea that was a paradigm shift. When Jesus arrived and began to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom, He demonstrated all kinds of paradigm shifts. He even performed a paradigm shift on the devil and took the keys of death and hell away from him. When God quickened the min9 of Apostle-E. D. Smith in 1897 and revealed Triumph Church with the Everlasting - Gospel, another paradigm shift took place.
The paradigm shift of Triumph is glorious because it is the working of a prophetic life-giving Spirit that is eternal and everlasting. This is the day where the highest knowledge of the resurrected Christ is ready to be revealed. The seven thunders have uttered their voices; the seventh angel has sounded, and the mystery of God should be finished. Therefore there must be a new advancement in our spiritual assumptions, concepts, values, and practices if we want to understand the fourth human world and the Everlasting Gospel paradigm. The veils of obsolete religion must be removed in order to see how ail things are being made new. We can't embrace
a triumphant paradigm as long as we hang on to a
militant church paradigm.
Hanging on to the old is easy because the old is familiar, traditional, and predictable. But Triumph Church was
revealed to gather all of those who have outgrown the old and bring them into a
reality that is greater than a predictable religion. We have been chosen and anointed to move up into new spiritual information, supernatural inspiration, and understand the mysteries that. scientific research will never be able to figure out. We have a chance to know what is going on at the deepest roots of truth and reality . There is a glorious life-giving power in God that goes beyond the power of nuclear and atomic energy, but we must be willing to go into the higher wisdom and deeper knowledge of God to understand the answers that human intelligence cannot receive.

Don't Put God In A Mental Box. (Romans 11:25-36) |
The mysteries of God are not going to be revealed to people that allow ignorance to cause self-conceit and spiritual blindness. The Everlasting Gospel is not confined to the scriptures of the Bible. The Word of God is not always written; it must be revealed before it is written or spoken. The purpose of the Holy Ghost in Triumph Church is to lead us out of the kingdom gospel and carry us into the deep mysteries that are beyond the cross. When we awaken to the greater wisdom that has not been seen, heard, or received, we also have a great responsibility to demonstrate the power of a new paradigm.
The fullness of the Gentile dispensation has been accomplished. In that dispensation many doctrines, sects, religions and occults were determined to confine God and place limits on his ability. Satan was successful in getting many religions to compromise and lose their anointing. One of the greatest mental boxes of the Gentile world was mixing Christianity with paganism and creating false religions that still exist.
Another mental box placed God in some faraway place beyond the' sun, moon, and stars.
To know the mind of God requires that we abandon the mortal consciousness of our flesh and become the full image and likeness of God. As long as our flesh and our five senses convince us that we have a mind of our own, we will be destroyed by the lack of ~owledge. We will only know the mind of God when we are in position to receive the revelation of His mind. Man is able to use his mind to turn something that is formless into formed things. But God is able to use His mind creatively and turn nothing into something. Therefore, the natural man must yield and submit to the Spirit. When we think we are smart enough to
co to coUnsel God and give Him advice, we are in trouble. For only by becoming meek and obedient to the Spirit 'of God will we see the divine plan of Triumph Church and become a part of
it.

The Christ Mind Causes A Triumphant Paradigm.
( I Corin. 2:12-16) |
The anointing and Spirit of Triumph Church is not here to tear down the walls that separate the church from the world. It is here to lift us up out of the consciousness of he world and carry us into knowledge of God that the human intellect will never understand. The Holy Ghost is not here to be a part of the debating society in this world. It is here to teach us things that will never be understood by scientific and medical research. The people that posses the spirit and wisdom of the world will never understand how a person that knows nothing about biology or medicine can sit down beside a dying person and bring them back to health without doing anything.
The real purpose of our existence is to obtain a consciousness of eternal and everlasting life in the soul and body.
Therefore everyone of us must live in the realization of that universal Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. A spiritual paradigm shift plays a very serious part in the growth of our spirit, soul, and body. We must rise up into a consciousness of Christ where we can understand and apply immortal principles and activate the power that manifests total body redemption. In the mind of Christ, all things, all actions, and all principles are working together to create a perfect unity of God, man and the universe. Therefore every mental, emotional and· physical thing that keeps us from operating in the highest standards of Spirit and truth must come to an end.
A Triumpant paradigm carries you far away from man made religious doctrines and laws
into the divine. Wisdom
that has been revealed to awaken, enlighten and empower you to the real truth concerning your unlimited capabilities. Therefore it is time to create and enjoy a life of purpose,
power, deeper meaning, and fulfillment in every way.
Revealed Verse: God has given me the power to go beyond my self-created limitations and expand my mind into unlimited possibilities of Spirit. .
