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, 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 To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

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. For I am the Lord, I do not change [but remain faithful to My covenant with you]; that is why you, O sons of Jacob, have not come to an end.

What does it look like to walk through difficult circumstances as a new creation in Christ? Join us on today’s episode as special guest Dionne van Zyl shares all about the KEYS to a lifestyle of overcoming. Key Scriptures: + John 16:33. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. + 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. To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

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.
