Tests accompany our learning to make sure we receive the fullness of favor and increase attached to it. Every circumstance has an upgrade for us to experience, but the truth is that we’re not tested by events. Tests are meant to reveal what we believe about God, and what we believe about who we are becoming in Him.

True transformation in the Kingdom occurs when we allow our mindsets to come into alignment with the thoughts of God. As we begin to see life from His higher perspective, our circumstances become our training grounds and we learn to walk with God at higher heights and farther distances.
Key Scriptures:
+ Amos 3:3. Can two walk together unless they are agreed?
+ Isaiah 55:8-9. My thoughts are not your thoughts nor my ways your way. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts, and my ways higher than your ways.
+ Colossians 3:1-3. If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Favor is released because God has a passion for us that is designed to provoke astonishment. It’s a new creation reality that upgrades our expectation to the same level that Jesus enjoyed.

The process we engage in with God is what makes us truly rich … not just the outcome at the end of the journey. We feel safe and free when we know how He wants to walk with us, and we are continually becoming more like Him as we learn to love the process. Joy, peace, and delight are not postponed until the outcome is seen. They can be discovered at every turn, throughout the entirety of our growth and development.
Key Scripture:
+ Jeremiah 17:7-8. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord.

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. God’s intention has always been for us to live fully integrated lives. So how do we make God’s reality our reality?
We’re getting ready for our annual virtual conference by sharing the highlights you loved most from Brilliance23. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for extended content, bonus Q&A time with Graham, and personal stories from community members just like you!
Key Scriptures: + John 5:19-20. I speak to you eternal truth. The Son is unable to do anything from himself or through his own initiative.

And He raised us up together with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

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).

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.

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.

"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.

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 as 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.

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.

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. 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.

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. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

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?”

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, you know 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 has shown 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…

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…”
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.
Radical Permission #1: God’s unchanging heart can always be depended upon. His consistent goodness allows us to stand in absolute confidence of who He will be for us no matter what is occurring.
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. (Story of Ananias and Saphira)

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. These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

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. 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.

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.

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, and able to 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

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.”

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. We love because he first loved us.
+ 1 Peter 5:7. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

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.

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.

+ Colossians 3:3. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

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. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.”

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.

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?

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.

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.

Key Scriptures:

[...] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

+ 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.

+ 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. For it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

Today continues with content from our series titled “Sacred Space.” This is a special series I did with Graham a couple years ago, and published on Brilliant TV.
The two of us spent a few days in his meditation space, preparing to share a behind-the-scenes look at the things that have been an integral part of his journey with the Lord over the decades.
You can watch it on Brilliant TV, and I highly recommend it. It was a true joy and wonderfully insightful for me.
Today is an extract from Episode 5, “Exploring and Pioneering.” Graham walks through the lifestyle of taking territory in the Kingdom, living with a mindset toward expansion and increase in the spirit, and understanding the expedition of where God is taking you in your life with Him.
This episode is an excerpt taken from episode 5 of Graham's series “Sacred Space," on Brilliant TV.

I'm going to dive into a portion from a special series I did with Graham a couple years ago, where the two of us spent a few days in his meditation space, preparing to share a behind-the-scenes look at the things that have been an integral part of his journey with the Lord.
In that room, Graham shared stories I’ve never heard him tell before, bringing out things of great meaning that he’s been given or has collected over the years, and speaking from the heart on the ups and downs of his spiritual journey in Jesus.
It was a treasured time with him, the insights of which are still impacting me to this day. And what a joy we had in sharing it with our BTV community.
Now I'm sharing some pieces of that with you, our podcast community :). May you be richly blessed!
This episode is an excerpt taken from episode 4 of Graham's series “Sacred Space," on Brilliant TV.

Today wraps up our current podcast theme, “Empowering Grace.”
Graham unpacks what it means to have a lens of poor grace in your life:
Grace is more than just a safety net, or a fallback plan when we mess up or things go sour; it is the ruling, dominant force that God uses to unveil His goodness in and through us.
Thanks for joining us for the last several weeks of this Podcast series on “Empowering Grace.” I hope you’ve been blessed!
This episode is a combination of two different segments, taken from episodes 7 and 8 of the “God’s Empowering Presence” series on BTV.

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."

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."

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.

For the month of October, I’m going to be highlighting the theme of “Empowering Grace.”
There are a lot of misunderstandings about what grace actually is, what it means, and what it does not mean.
I hope you’ll stay with us over the course of this month, as we unpack this topic with Graham. There are sure to be new insights and fresh perspectives waiting for you, and I believe you'll be richly blessed and encouraged in your relationship with the Three.
Enjoy and take delight in the Father as you receive from today’s message.
This episode is an excerpt from Graham's “The Nature of Freedom: Letter 5."

Today I'm sharing Graham's prophetic word from our Live Online Challenge event last week, "Expectation: The Power in Taking God for Granted."
This word had thought-provoking truths and powerful keys. It’s actually one of my favorite words that Graham has given in a while.
As you partake of this, I encourage you to listen with your heart, let it sink in to your spirit, and afterward, discuss the things that stood out to you with the Holy Spirit. He will help you uncover the meaning of its truths in your own life, and unpack the connotations and expectations present in this word.
ALSO: Here's a link to the pdf transcript of this prophetic word, which includes space for your notes and Graham's "Seven Steps to Inherit These Promises" activation to help you use this word for yourself.

## ANNOUNCEMENT! ##
Graham is doing a Live online event this Wednesday through Friday (that’s Sept 22-24), from 10 AM to 11 AM Pacific Time.

In today’s podcast segment Graham discusses how rejoicing is meant to strengthen us and refresh us when going through hard situations.
It acts as a powerful antidote to a downcast spirit, and to any negativity or feelings of oppression.
Rejoicing is thus a key agent in our process, meant to enthrone us on God’s faithfulness in the midst of our battles.
There is still a lot more to this message to hear, including a prophetic word from Graham, so check it out on BrilliantTV to keep going.

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.

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:
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.

In this message you’ll see the beauty of the fullness of Christ in us, which the Father already deposited in our spirit at salvation.
The Father is delighted in the process of our discovery, and desires a life of impact to overflow with ease, from this place of wonder and completeness.
The place of increase in our walk with God is founded upon that internal discovery of the overwhelming and abundant riches God has already placed in us in Jesus. One of the things it leads us into is what Graham says in this message, "All of us want to live a life of impact and be effective in communicating the kingdom of God to the world around us.”
KEY SCRIPTURES:
This message comes from the BTV series titled “The Place of Increase," namely the episode “What Good Things are Already in Me?”

Prayers of promise are our relational reality with God. He expects us to take full advantage of our promises.
CLICK HERE FOR THE LIVE EVENT!
I’m featuring this message "Prayers of Promise" from BTV today because of our LIVE online event starting tomorrow, Aug 18th at 10 AM Pacific time.
Graham is going live in a 3 day event titled "PRAYING WITH GOD."
The premise is that there’s only one prayer for us to pray… and it’s the one that Jesus is praying.
This new, LIVE challenge airs this Wednesday, August 18th through Friday, August 20th at 10am Pacific time each day.
In this podcast message, Graham shares how the promises from God in scripture are meant to be part of our relational reality with Him, and that God expects us to appropriate the advantage of His promises into our situations, living from expectation in Him.
In this episode I feature a segment from the audio book “The Nature of Freedom.” It’s been a much-loved resource from Graham, for good reason.
“Nature of Freedom” is available in print, ebook and audiobook formats on our Store here.
As I’ve mentioned before, we are so thankful to have you, our listeners, with us.
What we’re up to with God in Brilliant Perspectives is beautiful and powerful, and it’s a whole lot of fun. We treasure getting to share with you and encourage you on the journey, and make Jesus radiant to everyone.
Thanks for being a part of it :)

To continue our theme of “Hope” for this month, we’re featuring an excerpt from Hiddenness and Manifestation.
Graham discusses something relatable to all of us in different seasons - the disconcerting feeling of being unable to tangibly feel God’s presence, or being disconnected with Him emotionally.
But as we’ll see in this message, there is great hope for us to take hold of in such times, and beautiful, deeper things in the Spirit to lay hold of.

For our theme of “Hope” this month, we have an excerpt from one of Graham’s teachings called “Perfecting the Art of Bouncing Back.”
Graham talks about how we as believers learn to grow a steadfast resilience in our walk with Jesus, in the midst of our struggles. He elaborates on how God has a much different and more hopeful perspective on our failures and defeats, and how in our journey of becoming like Him, He is inviting us to know how to turn our setbacks into a comeback. Instead of our defeats taking anything away from us, we can partner with His grace and learn how to use them to our gain.

This is Part Two of the Conference Clips series of Expectations!
God has located us in the one place that guarantees confident expectation – He put us into Jesus. This is the foundation of every promise God has made with us.
Hope is expectation and expectation leads to a place of joyful anticipation. No matter what you’re facing, you can learn to anticipate the presence of God.
Every time hope is mentioned in Scripture, it’s mentioned in the context of ‘confident expectation leading to anticipate with joy.’
Expectation leads you to a place of joyful anticipation so that no matter what you’re facing, you can learn to anticipate the presence of God, not just hope you get it circumstantially in the moment because you know what God is like.
This episode is Part 1 from our Conference Clips edition of "Expectations!"
God has located us in the one place that guarantees confident expectation – He put us into Jesus.
This is the foundation of every promise God has made with us. Hope is expectation and expectation leads to a place of joyful anticipation.
No matter what you’re facing, you can learn to anticipate the presence of God.
This clip is taken from the conference "Expectations!" available on www.BrilliantTV.com
Newness of Life means that we are never stuck in our old responses, mindsets or habit patterns. There is always a gift of the Lord available every day and in every situation.
If you want to have a better or different year than the one you’ve just had, then it’s imperative to not travel forward with any mistakes or defeats.
However, we can learn from them and embrace the provision of God for a more excellent way. We can experience His goodness, encounter His power and prosper in His passion for us.
The old man of the flesh keeps you down.
The New Creation in Christ always takes you higher
It’s possible to make several years growth in 2020!
In the Kingdom, the entrance of Joy increases our spiritual, mental and emotional capacity to receive God’s presence in a way that places us above difficult circumstances.
No one can take your joy from you, but you can surrender it by not understanding its power.
Joy transforms our own internal atmosphere in times of fear, distress or uncertainty. It connects us to God’s eternal environment of Joy in a way that impacts our external circumstances.
During this holiday season, discover the power of joy to transform your life and the lives of everyone you encounter.
May your Christmas experience be full of Joy.
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!
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.
What you focus on, you empower. In today’s podcast, we are exploring what it means to take every thought captive and how to disempower any negative that comes our way.
This process is a total delight, and it’s the Father’s good pleasure to partner with you to change your thinking and upgrade your life.
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." You can watch the rest of the episode, and the entire series, at www.BrilliantTV.com)
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.
Today’s podcast is an excerpt taken from the School of Prophecy. Find more at www.BrilliantTV.com
As we are now a little over halfway through 2019, it’s time to check in and see how you are traveling in this Year of Permission. This message, delivered at the beginning of 2019, is full of God’s promises and purpose. He has gone before you this year as a guarantee of trust, and He is releasing you to know who you are in this time.
Special guest Allison Bown explores some of the keys that have been essential to her growth in the Lord. She’ll explain how building a habit of “Loving the Learning” will allow you to remain encouraged during those times of growth and development when you might feel off track.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
