Brilliant Perspectives

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.

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 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:Philemon 6Luke 17:212 Pet 1:3Col 2:9-10This message comes from the BTV series titled “The Place of Increase," namely the episode “What Good Things are Already in Me?” ––## 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.

Patience is the seed bed for real growth in Christ because it is entirely about the delight in waiting for Him and knowing that a favorable outcome is guaranteed because we are His habitation.
