Nothing was created without the Logos of God. Jesus Christ is the Logos, the Rhema, the utterance of God. God speaks, and it is.

(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

How did God create the heavens and the earth? He spoke and it was. Nothing was created without the Logos of God. Jesus Christ is the Logos, the Rhema, the utterance of God. God speaks, and it is.

What’s the difference between God creating the heavens and the earth in the beginning and God creating a clean heart in you? In the beginning, the creation couldn’t say, “No.” You can say, “No.” Now, God is looking for those who will listen to Him and yield to Him willingly. God is looking for you to listen to Him and yield to Him willingly.

Sweeping Out the Darkness

Some people have said you can make yourself pure by hunting down every stray thought and locking it down. They say you should react to every thought that isn’t from God, capture it, and bind it. Perhaps you grab them and put them into a box in your mind. Where do these theologians get that idea? It may come from this verse:

and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:5

How do you take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ? If you try to do this with human effort, you’ll make yourself crazy. It’s like trying to NOT think about elephants. The more you try to NOT think about elephants, the more they jump around in your mind. If you don’t like elephants, try NOT thinking about the sin that easily tempts you. You know your sin. I know mine.

You will frustrate yourself trying to sweep darkness out of a room. You must turn on the Light. The two verses before verse 5 tell you more about this spiritual warfare and turning on the Light.
