Brilliant Perspectives

We have a God who knows our future and tells us how we can align ourselves with Him to create a pathway from here to there. The seeds of your destiny are already present, and the key to your future is investing today. Key Scriptures: + Jeremiah 29:11. 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...

God sees our destiny and speaks identity into us in the present. He doesn’t just pronounce it … He wants us to perceive it too. The outcome that He sees propels our present learning, and accelerated growth occurs when we walk with Him to create a pathway from now to then. Key Scripture: + Exodus 7:1. And the LORD said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother s...

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. Key Scriptures: Isaiah 1:18. “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be...

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...

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...

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...

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 o...

God is happy to walk with us to His intended outcomes for our lives. Therefore, we can exercise patience with delight and faith, as it produces within us a mature confidence and an eager expectation of good. Key Scriptures: + Romans 12:12. Rejoicing in hope (expectation), patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer. + Hebrew 6:11-12. Show the same diligence to enable you to realize the fu...

Patience creates a beautiful space where we can listen carefully and pray properly. When patience rises up within us, we push away the negatives as we experience the freedom to learn and grow in Christ. Key Scriptures: + Psalm 40:1.

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 2...

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 al...

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. [...] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded...

If we are in Christ, then so are all of our circumstances. Whatever the problem or difficulty that we face, we can first connect our life situation to the unchanging nature of God as we align ourselves with His purpose. Join us this week as Graham Cooke shares his process of learning how to walk with God, regardless of the circumstances. Key Scriptures: +Deuteronomy 31:6. The LORD your God is the...

Our "lens" is our view on life in the Spirit. It can either lead us into debilitating fear, or it can help us see the Perfect Love that is always present. When faced with a difficult situation, which lens do you want to see through? Join us in this week’s episode as we are asking the question, “If Jesus was looking out through my eyes, how would He see this situation?” Key Scriptures: + Colossians...

The world teaches us to live externally, being constantly discouraged by everything we are not. But the wisdom that governs our lives in Christ comes from above. This internal reality of Jesus turns our everyday circumstances into endless opportunities to cross over from the ways of the world into the ways of the Kingdom. Join us for today’s episode as we learn how wisdom in the Kingdom acts as a...

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, whe...

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 g...

What if self-control is the very fruit that empowers us to walk in freedom? Join us in today’s episode as we explore how self-control opens us up to experience a beautiful new space where we can be empowered to overcome the uncertainty of life’s circumstances.

Receive it as if the Father is speaking directly to your heart. For the TRANSCRIPT to the FULL prophetic word...

It’s not uncommon for people to say, “it’s hard to live as a new creation in Christ.” But what if it’s not?
