Although we may speak many words each day, much of our speaking may not be for Christ. Thus, we need to learn how to speak for Christ. We need to learn how to prophesy, how to speak Christ as the reality. The first line of Hymns, #496 says, "Christ is the one reality of all." This indicates that our speaking of anything other than Christ is not real. When Christ is the content of our speaking, our prophesying is real. Whatever we speak in the meetings must be Christ. We need to learn to speak concerning Christ, to speak for Christ, and to speak forth Christ to others. We all need to learn how to prophesy in a proper and real way.
In [Col.] 2:18 Paul warns us to let no one purposely defraud us of our prize. Our prize is the full enjoyment of Christ. Even those of us who have been in the Lord's recovery for many years do not have the full enjoyment of Christ. We have been defrauded of this. Through seeing the vision of the all-inclusive Christ, we are being brought back to our prize. If we see this vision, no one will be able to defraud us of the full enjoyment of Christ. When we have this enjoyment, we realize that Christ is our reality. A stanza from a hymn on the experience of Christ as reality expresses it this way:
Christ is our real God, our real Lord,
Christ is our real life, our real light;
Christ is our real food, our real drink,
Our real clothing, and our real might
Hymns, #496
Since Christ is such a reality to us, we should live by Him, not by culture.

Christ also is the one reality
Of all our doctrine and theology;
And all our scriptural knowledge without Him
Is just in letter and is vanity.
Christ, the reality of time and space,
Christ, the reality of every stage;
Christ is the one reality of all
Thru all eternity from age to age.

Because the universe with the billions of things and persons in it was created for the purpose of describing Christ, He, in revealing Himself to His disciples, could easily find in any environment something or someone to serve as an illustration of Himself -Col. 1:15-17

Every shadow functions to point as into the reality of every positive thing in the universe.
He must be our all in all.
He is the reality of all our necessities.
Let us hold Him as the Head.
All our shadows..."but the body is of Christ"
(Col. 2:17)
