Brilliant Perspectives

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. Key Scriptures: + Romans 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. + 1 Thessalonians 5:15. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

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

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. Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” And the LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you… To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

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.

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 it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For with the standard of measurement you use when you do good to others, it will be measured to you in return. To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.

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 shall be your prophet..."

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 as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” How has the Brilliant Perspectives podcast impacted your learning?

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. But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE
