Most Christians have resigned to living two separate lives. We find ourselves setting boundaries between our spiritual lives in the Kingdom and the “real world” where our workplaces and families seem to reside.

There’s something better than discipline that’s always on offer with God. For every upgrade He has for us in our identity and calling, there is a relational invitation into joy and delight which prepares us to thrive at a new level. This devotional comes from pages 66 and 67 of letter #7 in The Nature of Freedom (2017 edition). Key Scriptures: + 2 Corinthians 3:18. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. + Philippians 2:13. Philippians 2:13: For it is GOD who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. How has Brilliant impacted YOUR life? Let us know by clicking HERE.

We can get stuck for all kinds of reasons, but rarely is there a way out when we put logic and reason above God’s wisdom. When we understand that His nature is constant and unchanging, His ways of thinking are designed to produce faith and trust within us. This devotional comes from the first paragraph on page 66 of letter #7 in The Nature of Freedom. Key Scriptures: + Isaiah 55:9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. + Philippians 4:7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. + Genesis 18:14: Is anything too difficult for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son. + Numbers 14:24 But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.

Most of us have places where we feel stuck, but we’ve mistakenly thought that all the weight is on us to become unstuck. In the Kingdom, however, the responsibility for experiences with the Truth is never with us. It’s always with God. This devotional comes from the first part of letter #7 (”An Invitation to Come Unstuck”) on page 65 in The Nature of Freedom. Key Scriptures: + Ephesians 2:10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. + Jeremiah 31:33-34. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people… To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

"If all your thinking has brought you to a place you don’t like, have another thought.” Remember, we don’t become a new creation by changing our behavior. We put off the old things completely. Then we discover who we already are in Jesus and step into that identity, guided by the Holy Spirit. Key Scriptures: + 1 Corinthians 6:17. But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. + Galatians 5:1. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. + John 16:13-15. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you. + Colossians 1:27. To them God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. __ How have these brilliant perspectives impacted YOUR life?

We aren’t taking anything from our old nature into our new covenant relationship with Christ. God’s goodness and mercy completely redeems our past. Now we can be “present-future” focused in all our dealings, living fully in the present moment while eagerly anticipating what God has in store for the future. In every difficult situation we face, He simply compels us to see, think, and speak differently we learn to walk with Him in newness of life. Key Scriptures: + 2 Corinthians 5:14-21. […] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation… + Colossians 3:9-10. Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it + Ephesians 4:20-24. […] and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. __ To access the full teaching, check out our New Man Theology series on BrilliantTV.com.

Every situation is primarily about one thing: being made into the image of God and receiving an identity upgrade. Instead of making panicked decisions based on where we’ve come from, Christ living within us is the empowering presence that allows us to see who we are becoming and where we are headed with Him. Key Scriptures: + Romans 7:19. For [when I live under the old covenant law] I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. + Ephesians 4:20-24. But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. + Colossians 3:1-3. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. + Romans 6:6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. + Philippians 2:13. For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. ___ To access the full teaching, check out our New Man Theology series on BrilliantTV.

God gives us full permission to step into His perception and mindset about our old nature. He desires to cultivate a lifestyle focused on who we are in Jesus because all the old has passed away. Everything has become new. We get to consider ourselves dead to sin and fully alive in Christ. Key Scriptures: + Romans 6:10. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. + Colossians 3:1-3. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. + Ephesians 4:20-24. But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

In the perception of God, your old nature is dead. We’re learning that death to self is not an action on our part because Jesus has already accomplished this on the cross. As we are alive to Christ, we are automatically dead to sin. Key Scriptures: + Galatians 2:20. I have been crucified to Christ, it is now Christ who lives in me, and the life I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me + Romans 6:6.

God is committed to transforming the way we see things. He helps us understand that unlike the visitational culture of the old testament, we are now living in a habitational new covenant. His Spirit is here to stay and that changes everything … from the way we perceive day-to-day life, to the way we engage with prayer. Key Scriptures: + 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. + John 16:15. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. + 1 Corinthians 2:10. These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit.

As we grow up into God, a continual upgrade of our lenses is required. The good news of the gospel is that our new-creation status not only changes the way we walk, it also changes the way we see. When we allow our perspective to align with that of heaven, we begin to see a lens full of peace, hope, and endless possibilities in the Kingdom. Key Scriptures: + Acts 2:12,37. And they were beside themselves with amazement and were greatly perplexed, saying one to another, “What could this mean?” […] Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what are we to do?” How has Brilliant impacted YOUR life?

A lens change is about embracing the truth of who we are in Christ and allowing that truth to transform our perspective, mindset, and language. Sometimes, this process can be uncomfortable. But the Lord is committed to making us more like Him, which means He has to take us into territory we've never been. Key Scriptures: + Acts 10:28. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. + Acts 9:17-19. Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again… To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

Every situation has to bend to the rule of heaven, and every negative in your life has a specific job to do. The role of a negative is always to reveal its opposite, which means that your current circumstances are ideal soil for your next breakthrough in Christ. Key Scriptures: + Galatians 5:22-23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. + Isaiah 61:7. Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.

Radical Permission #3: We are created to live in the undivided affection of God. In that place, our grace and peace multiplies. Every circumstance is designed to confirm who Jesus is for you and who you are becoming in Him. Key Scriptures: + 2 Peter 1:2-4. May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. Through these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust. + Genesis 1:26. Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness…” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

Radical Permission #2: You are one with Christ, which means that the Father loves you in exactly the same way He loves Jesus. Everyday, in every situation, we are celebrating that truth. Key Scriptures: + John 15:9. As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. + John 17:20. I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

The world doesn’t read its Bible, but it does read its Christians. What if the key to unlocking someone’s heart isn’t always dependent on how well you can communicate the main points of the Gospel? What if the key rests in simply taking a moment to tune in to the relational heart of God? Key Scriptures: + Isaiah 41:9. I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. + John 16:13. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.

God has a vision of you that is unchanging. New Testament prophecy speaks to that image of you. It is spoken through the context of the Gospel of Grace, with words of encouragement, exhortation, and comfort. The heart of New Testament prophecy is not about predicting the future or revealing hidden secrets, but about speaking life, hope, and love into others. Key Scriptures: + Luke 1:13. But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. + Luke 16:16. The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John came; since then, the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone presses into. + Acts 5.

Words of edification and exhortation are meant to create a momentum within us. These words speak directly to our identity and they tell us exactly how we’re known in heaven. They can provide keys that propel us into our next chapter so that we don’t have to keep repeating the current one. Key Scriptures: + 1 Corinthians 14:1-5. Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and comfort… + John 15:11.

Behind every scripture is the passion of God to include you in the fellowship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God uses scripture so that we can personally understand His true nature, our identity in Christ, and who we are called to be on earth as we are known in heaven. Key Scriptures: + Luke 1:11-17. But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord… + Jeremiah 29:11.

Jesus didn't come to simply patch up the old covenant. He came to replace it entirely. While the old covenant relied on sacrifices, rules, and striving for righteousness, the new covenant is all about Jesus — who perfectly fulfilled the law on our behalf. Now, our salvation is a gift, and sanctification isn't about earning it through our performance. It's about embracing our identity in Christ and growing in His likeness. Key Scriptures: + Hebrews 8:6. But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. + Hebrew 8:13. When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is about to disappear. + Romans 6:10. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. + Ephesians 4:20-24. But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Legalism depicts God as distant, harsh, joyless, and uninvolved in our lives in any meaningful way. It tells us that He doesn’t talk to us about our future. He doesn’t heal anymore. The most we can hope for is going to church and paying our tithes. But the good news is that Jesus has become our guarantee of a better covenant. As always, thanks for listening!

God is determined to free us from legalism and to empower us to understand the fullness of freedom that belongs to us in Christ. The heart of God is to see us unbound, completely free able to explore Him and walk with Him without being subject to any rules and regulations created by man. Key Scriptures: + Romans 13:8-10. Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law. + Hebrews 6:13. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. + 1 Peter 2:9. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

Negativity can quickly become an obstacle that prevents us from seeing the goodness of God that’s always present. If negativity has taken space in your life, today is the day to break the cycle and step into a FRESH encounter with the heart of God toward you. Key Scriptures: + Romans 8:5-7. For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so... + Ephesians 4:29. Let no corrupt talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear... + Lamentations 3:21-24. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” ___ Join us September 22-24, 2023!

The people that we find most challenging are often the perfect catalyst in our transformation into the image of Christ. There is always a place of acceptance and safety in God’s heart, and when His heart overwhelms our own, we dominate the enemy and open tough people up to kindness. Key Scriptures: + 1 John 4:19.

How does God walk with us when negative emotions threaten to overwhelm and take charge? How are our emotions being made in His image and what does that process look like? The antidote to negative feelings is not to banish emotion from our spiritual development, but to discover the emotion of God that He wants us to experience instead. Key Scriptures: + John 15:11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. + Proverbs 18:10. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

Sometimes, the world can be a tiring place. From carrying the weight of our own negativity to dealing with difficult people and toxic workplaces, everything in our external environment is constantly changing. But instead of carrying stress during times of difficulty, what if your inner life with God could produce a peace that overwhelms all external pressures? Key Scriptures: + Psalm 73:28. But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge and placed my trust in Him, That I may tell of all Your works + Malachi 3:6.

Warfare requires you to know who you are in the Kingdom at all times, and to have the confidence not to compromise your oneness in Christ. A "good fight" is when we align ourselves with God's intentions and understand the enemy's tactics. Key Scriptures: + 1 Timothy 6:12. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. + 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. But just as it is written: “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the human heart, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 2 Chronicles 20:15. And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat: This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God’s.

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace… + Colossians 3:1.

Times of quiet renewing are not about the absence of activity. When God guides us out of a fast flow and into a slower ebb, it is a time where His beauty can transform our fellowship and enlarge our hearts. Key Scriptures: + Leviticus 26:34-35.

Burnout and weariness are often rooted in a disconnect from God’s empowering presence. But grace is a gift from God and a shelter from condemnation.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. + James 1:17. Every good thing and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. + John 15:9.

All of our learning takes place within the safety of our relationship with God. When we realize that His friendship is completely free from guilt and shame, our hearts become settled. We can finally believe and receive the fullness of His love, as we become ever more aware of His nature within us. Key Scriptures: +Psalm 34:5. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. + 2 Peter 1:3. His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to  his own glory and excellence + Romans 6:11-14.

God isn’t seeing the old you when He looks at you, because He knows that Jesus already dealt with that on the cross. This means that God is no longer dealing with your behavior. Instead, He’s focused on developing your new identity in Jesus. Key Scriptures: + Acts 4:13. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. + Colossians 3:3. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. + John 16:13-15.

He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

God is not a user, He’s a lover. But when we are only living to serve Him, we find it hard to enjoy Him. God has given us the greatest possible gift by giving us our freedom in Christ. He initiated our freedom, and a life of relational devotion is our continual response to that gift. Key Scriptures: + Genesis 1:26. Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. + Colossians 3:3. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

You don’t have to allow your circumstances to challenge God’s goodness. You can expect His goodness in every situation … and use it to challenge your circumstances instead.

You are not defined by what other people do to you. You can only be defined by who God is for you. To walk in the Spirit is to be careful to maintain acts of goodness in our own lifestyle. It’s not an option. It’s the only viable expression of the Kingdom. Key Scriptures: + Luke 6:27. “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you.

It was the relationship between God and Moses that first gave us the revelation that glory and goodness are bound together in the heart of God. An expectation of His goodness is the hallmark of every disciple, because goodness is present in all that He does. What would it look like for you to encounter the incomparable goodness of God? Key Scripture: + Exodus 33:18-19.

Every day, you should feel overwhelmed. The real question is: What are we going to be overwhelmed by? We can either be overwhelmed by shame, guilt, powerlessness (and so on) … or we can be overwhelmed by the goodness of God. Key Scriptures: + Psalm 23:6 - “Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life.” + Psalm 27:13 - “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. + Luke 6:38. Give, and it will be given to you.

In the Kingdom, God gives us everything upfront ... then He teaches us how to live in it. Everything is about possibilities, and all prophecy is relating to a God who redeems time. The faster we learn to respond to His Spirit, the quicker we accelerate toward our destiny.

Jesus, our great intercessor, stands in the gap between our present identity and our future destiny. He prays into this gap because something in the present needs to rise up within us. Our relationship with the Lord is always prophetic, which means we can expect Him to speak about our future and reveal His wisdom for our development process. Key Scriptures: + Genesis 18:16. The LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.” + Numbers 13:30.

You don’t have to endure your difficult circumstances. You can choose, instead, to be overwhelmed by the nature of God as you abide with Him. When we learn to stay and rest in Him first, we are renewed and restored in the waiting. In today’s teaching, Graham Cooke shares an excerpt from The Nature of Freedom, a book of letters written from God's perspective directly to you! Key Scriptures: + John 14:19. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.” + Psalm 1:3. "He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers." + Jer 17:8. "He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

There’s no waiting for an invitation to the place of abiding with God. He is fully and completely present with us any day, any place, and any time. Abiding is the best and fastest way to be transformed because it is relational, not situational. Your place of abiding cannot be earned. It is a gift that’s always there! Key Scriptures: + John 16:33. In the world there will be trouble. But be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world. + John 14:27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or fearful. + John 15:11. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. +2 Corinthians 3:18. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Patience takes us into partnership with God’s presence. It makes us only vulnerable to His goodness and allows us to enjoy all that He is for us right now, in this present moment. When connected with faith, patience resists the negatives and produces a confident expectation in the promises of God. Key Scriptures: + James 1:2-4. Consider all circumstances as being joyful, knowing that the testing of faith produces patience that guarantees we will become fully mature and lacking in nothing. + James 5:7-8. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. + Hebrew 6:11-12: “Show the same diligence to enable you to realize the full assurance of hope to the end of your particular circumstances so that you will not be sluggish but become imitators of those who with faith and patience inherit the promise.” To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

Today, we are looking at one of Graham Cooke’s favorite questions: What does it mean to dream with God? We’re not talking about dreams of the night or daydreams; we’re exploring dreaming in the context of hope and imagination, where we have a glorious expectation of something wonderful occurring because of who God is. Key Scriptures: +1 John 4:19: We love Him because He first loved us. +Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” +Matthew 18:3: Unless you become like children, you won’t be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Every new phase of our journey requires that we upgrade our image of God. Stress, anxiety, fear, and negativity occur when there is a growing gap between how we see our situations and how we see the nature of God. Instead of focusing on getting rid of the old, we simply focus on the new; because the Truth always sets us free. Key Scriptures: + Romans 15:13. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. + John 1:14. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

Every situation is primarily about who God wants to be for you, and each circumstance is an opportunity to encounter new levels of favor and faith in the Lord. If we believed our favor was always present, how would that change our relationship with the Lord? Key Scriptures: +Ephesians 3:17-19.

What might be true of our negative circumstances is not the truth of who we are in Jesus. Only the Truth can set us free and produce lasting transformation into the image of Christ. Join us in today’s episode as we discover how wisdom creates a new awareness of what is possible with God. Key Scriptures: + Colossians 3:1-4. If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. + 2 Corinthians 3:18. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. + John 14. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. […] the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We were created with the capacity to magnify. We will either magnify the negatives, or we will choose to magnify the true nature of God. What are you currently empowering with your thoughts? Join us this week as we learn to exchange negative thinking for God’s thoughts and overcome being double-minded. Key Scriptures: + James 1:5-8. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting. For the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, he is driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he would receive anything from the Lord being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. + Psalm 57:7. My heart is fixed, O Lord. My heart is fixed. + Colossians 3:2. Set your mind on things above, not on the things that are on earth. + Philippians 2:13.

Continuing our theme of "Empowering Grace," Graham gives a message about grace as the force that empowers us to stay and abide in God. It is a force that enables us to perceive from a higher perspective. As we are upgraded from just believing, to abiding, grace becomes our ever-present teacher, proactively working to empower us in exerting authority over the enemy and our lives.This grace crowns us with the mind of Christ so that in all things we are freed from a worldly perspective, being granted the very eyes and wisdom of heaven. This message is from the “God’s Empowering Presence” series on BTV, and the soaking track is from Graham's album "Becoming the Beloved."––## STAY CONNECTED with Graham and Team Brilliant by signing up for our weekly newsletter "Brilliant News."  Every week it features Graham’s podcasts, videos and articles.

This episode continues our theme of "Empowering Grace." Graham’s personal anecdote shows the way God wants us to hear and receive grace excessively – until we truly, truly get it. Grace is an empowering force in our lives, expanding our territory with God and carrying us into everything new we've been given in Jesus.Beloved… Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit will never grow tired of lavishing you with grace upon grace; until your heart is so inundated and saturated with it that you understand it in a deep, effectual and ineradicable way. May it become your encounter and experience with Him, which stays with you forever :)– This audio comes from Episode 1 of the same Brilliant TV series I featured last week, "The Impact of Grace."––## STAY CONNECTED with Graham and Team Brilliant by signing up for our weekly newsletter "Brilliant News."  Every week it features Graham’s podcasts, videos and articles.

Today we continue the theme of “Empowering Grace” for this month, with a teaching of Graham’s drawn from episode 6 of the BTV series: “The Impact of Grace.”Graham encourages us to be challenged by the magnificence and all encompassing grasp of grace. He discusses how as partakers of the new life in Jesus, we are meant to be reigning in grace through all aspects of life.And this, beloved of God, is a grace that not only enables us to move in the spirit Jesus would in all our life situations, but also effectively reroutes any negatives standing against us... enabling us to travel forward in our walk with God, unhindered by any intent of the enemy, and ever-ready to engage in our glorious relationship with Jesus.––## STAY CONNECTED with Graham and Team Brilliant by signing up for our weekly newsletter "Brilliant News."  Every week it features Graham’s podcasts, videos and articles.

This episode points out the importance of living in an atmosphere of joy in the Lord, and how that is created in our lives.It raises expectations of what’s possible – of how we can walk securely and immovably in our relationship with Jesus, and the simple and beautiful truths and practices in our walk with Him that fashion sustainable, life-giving joy in all of our days. Yes, even on the hard ones.Receive this with an open heart, and allow your spirit to dream and imagine what it could be like for you if you settled into these truths and they became a part of your every day experience in God.This message from Graham is taken from the “REGENERATE” series Graham has been doing this year. You can view that series here. ## STAY CONNECTED with Graham and Team Brilliant by signing up for our weekly newsletter "Brilliant News."  Every week it features Graham’s podcasts, videos and articles.

In this message, we’re engaged to reflect and change our lens. Instead of having expectations of difficulty and stress in areas we need to grow, Graham reveals how our expectation can shift as we behold the truth of the new man in Jesus correctly. What before seemed like inevitable hardships and difficulty can instead be traded for Jesus’s invitation to “find rest for our souls, because His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.”Graham poses some freeing thoughts: What if God put you into Christ so that your first encounter is always with the one who has overcome the world? What if that was your primary expectation?What if mindsets of expecting hardship and difficulty are from the old man, and the Holy Spirit has encounters for you that will reframe such thinking? This message originates from letter 7 of Graham’s renowned book, “The Nature of Freedom.” If you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to get a copy, or download the audiobook, found here. Graham also created a video series on BTV based on the letters in this book. This one is titled “Freedom from Difficult Expectations”, found under the series “Get Unstuck and Live a Lifestyle of Encounter,” on BTV. ## STAY CONNECTED with Graham and Team Brilliant by signing up for our weekly newsletter "Brilliant News."  Every week it features Graham’s podcasts, videos and articles.

In this episode, Graham poses the statement: “We are citizens of heaven, living here on earth, which means our life in Christ is lived above our circumstances.” He continues with powerful insights like these: — “Our whole anointing, for every single one of us, is about one thing: how we, as individuals and as a Body, interact with heaven when we are together.” — “The world that we live in tells us what we are not, constantly. But the realm that we inhabit in the Spirit, and are true citizens of, is never about problems, it’s only about promises.” — “If you don’t master intimacy, you won’t last long on any level.” Be blessed! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

In this episode, I’m including part of an audio clip where Graham dives into a dialog with co-host Lindsay van Zyl around the prophetic word he gave entitled “Acceptance,” which was the main content for our previous Podcast episode #94. If you haven’t heard that one yet, you might want to go back and listen to it first. Both that episode and this one come from our last Featured Challenge event, “The Way God Walks With Us.” In these dialogs that Graham does on the final day of a Challenge, he breaks down the keys from the prophetic word... the fantastic implications they have in our lives... and their application in our relationship with God. He also shares stories and testimonies that reveal what these truths can look like in our own journey. In this particular discussion, Graham shares about a dream he had with Jesus, and how profoundly it impacted a turning point in his life with God. It’s absolutely lovely, I’m sure you’ll be blessed and left thinking about it for days to come. Enjoy this final episode of special content from our last Featured Challenge. Take what you learn and receive into your own dialog and walk with Jesus. He is waiting for you :) Our next Featured Challenge is coming up! Starting Wednesday, April 14 at 10:00 AM PST.

On our last podcast (Episode #93) we featured content from our featured challenge that was titled: The Way God Walks With Us. In these three-day challenges Graham gives wonderful teachings and insights and on the third day he typically ends with a prophetic word and then he spends time breaking down and unpacking that prophetic word for the remainder of the day. These prophetic words have become a really popular part of our challenges, and for good reason! They carry God’s heart and are spoken in the tone of His love, His gentleness, His kindness. It’s as if you can hear the Father himself, speaking directly to your spirit as you listen to the words.. We encourage you to set your mind and set your heart in a place of receiving. Open up to what God has for you; allow Jesus to lavish His love on you and allow the Holy Spirit to carry and convey the goodness of heaven… May you be richly blessed! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

Today's podcast episode is pulled from snippets of one of our Featured Challenges with Graham. This particular Featured Challenge airs Wednesday - Friday, March 17 -19th. The topic of this is around relational learning. The whole idea here is that God is not teaching us the way the world teaches us. He doesn't have an expectation like the world does. The kingdom form of growth and development is not like the world's education system at all... Not the same expectations, not the same pressures, not the same performance mentality. God starts from a place of us already being fully accepted and fully approved in Christ because Christ's righteousness has been given to us and He's paid completely for us. We start out at 100% with God and we get to grow up into all things in Christ. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

As part of the new theme we are starting “Freedom” - We are featuring more from one of Graham’s prized books, “The Nature of Freedom.” We have featured some of it in previous podcast episodes. Michael reads part of the Introduction first, so that you as a listener can really consider the implications of what Graham writes here. After, we jump into Graham’s portion, which was pulled from the opening thoughts of Letter #1, and the rest from a passage of Letter #4. Some key scriptures for the letter featured today include: Ephesians 4:20-24; 2 Corinthians 5:14-18; John 14:27; 1 John 4:18; Colossians 3:9-10; Romans 8:1-2 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

In this episode we’ll wrap up the theme of “Joy” that we’ve been on for the past few weeks. I’m featuring a prophetic word that Graham gave on Brilliant TV, our online mentorship community, about joy. Receiving truth in teaching format is very helpful. Receiving it as a prophetic word is another angle that enhances and increases our understanding and assimilation of truth. There’s a lot of good nuggets in this one. Don’t be overwhelmed. Allow the Holy Spirit to highlight some things to you. Catch the items that stand out and remember those. God can do a lot in us and in our journey with just a few key truths. Here’s a handful of highlights you can expect: + If you hold on to joy with God, your trials will diminish in size and joy will build. + Joy can accomplish things that fearful, reactionary prayers may never achieve. + You can be free by His grace from your thoughts oppressing you, and from any influence of the world, the flesh and the devil on your mind. + The Father wants to put joy and gladness into dry areas of your heart.

We are jumping into the third session of our theme of “Joy” this month. In this portion, taken from the message “Joy That Strengthens” on BrilliantTV, Graham really dives in powerfully to the concepts and truths that should define our way of thinking and seeing, in regards to our joy, it’s rightful place in our lives, and it’s enduring power in our circumstances.

In this episode we continue with the theme of Joy from last week, listening to a clip from one of Graham’s teachings found on BrilliantBookHouse.com called “The Practice of Delight.” Some key thoughts that Graham explores in this episode: - “Joy is Who God is, and heaven is full of joy. So joy is the atmosphere of heaven,” ...thus it’s a reality that we can live in because of our citizenship there and our placement in Christ in heavenly places. - In the Holy Spirit, you can make even the smallest thing a delight. - God is FULL of pleasure and joy! He’s the happiest person we can know. - Learn to see the good. Learn to see the joy. Learn to see the pleasure in life, because it enlarges you on the inside. -Learn to take pleasure in your relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

Today’s episode comes from the video series “The Art of Awareness” on Brilliant TV; and the video series itself is based on content from Graham’s groundbreaking book, “The Nature of Freedom.” In this episode, Graham expounds upon what a life of joy in God looks like, and how we abide in that. How we set our Expectation has a significant impact on Joy becoming our everyday experience. It’s is not a come-and-go emotion, but is always present because of who God is for us; therefore we have permission to EXPECT Joy in Jesus, and we should also expect to DISCOVER an increase of Joy in our lives as we walk the road ahead. Graham reminds us of David’s words in the Psalms -- that in God’s presence is fullness of joy. Since we have His presence on the inside of us, joy is already part of the environment in which we get to live. Key Scriptures for this episode are: + James 1:2-4 + Psalm 16:11 + Philippians 4:4 Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

In his answer, he continues to describe discovering a new found depth and grace in God in the midst of personal illness and hardship. Drawing from his own experience, Graham brings perspective to how we can engage with, realign with, and abide in God in such situations. He elaborates on how the Holy Spirit is a spirit of disclosure, making known unto us heaven’s very thoughts and heart for our situation;... and how the Lord, being our keeper, roots us in His provisional promises... so that we can be purposefully enveloped in His redemptive and strengthening hope.

It is impossible for the Father to see you disconnected from love. We have all done silly (or even really stupid) things, but not even those things can separate yourself from the love of God.You will not become brilliant because you get your act together. You will become brilliant when you realize how amazing He is, how He never changes, and how He includes you in Him.It’s time to settle this in your heart once and for all, Beloved. I know this podcast will help you do just that! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

Life in the Kingdom is vastly different to life in this world. In our day-to-day experiences, we can feel the need to strive to hit targets and keep up our performance. In the Kingdom, however, everything you need is given to you up front. You don’t have to earn what has already been given to you...that’s not possible.   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

In our life empowered by the Spirit, there is a special relationship between favor and promise.

Have you ever felt subject to your circumstances? Tossed about by the winds, with little ability to handle all that is going on around you? And have you ever been told that prayer is the answer?Beloved. Prayer is MORE than just a colloquial bandaid. Prayer is the relational place where you partner with God as heir and co-heir in Christ.Nothing surprises God. He is not only with you and in you, but He has gone before you (Deut 31:8) We know that every circumstance is an opportunity to encounter another aspect of God’s true nature.Now you can learn to stop wondering IF God has made provision for you, and start looking to see WHERE He has placed it.(This episode is an excerpt from a recent episode on Brilliant TV titled, "Everything You Need Is Waiting," from the series "Praying With God."

As a prophetic people, we are designed to have experiences that reveal who God is for us and experience His affection that enables us to always live in His presence. When we connect and impact others with a word from the Lord, you are communicating more than just words; you are communicating the very NATURE of God. His passion and His heartbeat.

In this week’s podcast we are going to dive deeper into the idea that you aren’t stuck, just on pause. As new creations in Christ, the only thing required of us is a level of intentionality with God to ask Him what He is doing and who He wants to be for us. The Father doesn’t put any time limits on our development. He always sees things as on time. He loves our whole life, not just the long game and He never sees us as stuck. He sees our full potential and is 100% dedicated to helping us realize it. So sometimes our process is on pause and He’s expecting us to trust in His nature and step into an upgraded way of travelling with Him. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

It’s incredibly easy to become distracted when we think we’re stuck. It’s even easier to look for alternative solutions and to forget that God has already seen the outcome. We can easily assume it is our job to get unstuck before anything changes. But that’s not how the Father works. So, what if you only thought you were stuck? What if you were actually experiencing an invitation from the Father to upgrade your perspective? He doesn’t see us as stuck. He only sees opportunity for growth and relationship. God expects us to trust His Nature and step into an upgraded way of traveling with Him. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

Do you ever feel like something in your life is holding you back? Are you aware of a certain problem that might be blocking God from being more active in your life? The idea that you are unable to grow in a certain area until something is fixed is actually a common mindset. But that mindset isn’t one that God has. When Jesus died on the cross, so did your flaws and shortcomings...and your excuses. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

We are all advertising something everyday. Our words and actions tell others about us and what we believe about ourselves. So what are you advertising? Are you advertising stress and frustration? Or are you advertising what it means to have the Holy Spirit in your life, who is your helper, trainer and comforter? When you understand that we are all advertising something, you can intentionally advertise something different than the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

As we pursue God our vision begins to unfold. We get a picture of who God wants to be for us. Inevitably, obstacles will appear on our journey. Obstacles can point to many different areas of growth or overcoming. Some obstacles are meant to elevate us. Some are meant to slow us down so we don’t miss a crucial part of learning. And some obstacles help us raise our sight and develop larger vision for who we are and what God wants to do in our lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

What is possible in a life of constant peace? If you had peace right now, what would you be seeing? What would you be saying? How would you be feeling?

If we are in Christ, then so are all of our circumstances. He is in us, we are a habitation in Him and we can’t be separated.

Heaven has a right of possession over us in Christ, giving it the right to acquire our problems and provoke God’s favor to overcome them. We have favor with God through our placement in Christ, granting us an intentional bias in His heart and empowering us to ask Him for the things that are in line with His loving-kindness towards us. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

Rejoicing is where we match God’s purpose and intention with our own and say “‘yes and amen” to who He wants to be for us. It’s agreement and engagement with who He really is. Through rejoicing, we can see how God wants to turn everything around and make it work for our good because it empowers us to receive when we are under pressure. It keeps us away from giving into fear, doubt, and unbelief by causing us to remain fresh in faith and the Lord’s presence. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

The key to all spirituality is majesty because it gives us a sense of who God is in everything that we do and experience. Majesty governs how we think about the Lord, our expectations of Him, and our experience of His favor in our life. By entering into majesty, we have the opportunity to become the happiest individual on the face of the earth. Anything less than majesty in our relationship with God is an inferior way to live. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

The key to effective learning is your ability to unlearn something you thought you knew. When we come into the Kingdom from the world, God divests us from everything the world taught us.

It’s not difficult to discover the depths of God’s feelings for us. We have a home in His deepest affections and favor to remain close to Him.
