Brilliant Perspectives

Today’s episode comes from the video series “The Art of Awareness” on Brilliant TV; and the video series itself is based on content from Graham’s groundbreaking book, “The Nature of Freedom.” In this episode, Graham expounds upon what a life of joy in God looks like, and how we abide in that. How we set our Expectation has a significant impact on Joy becoming our everyday experience. It’s is not a come-and-go emotion, but is always present because of who God is for us; therefore we have permission to EXPECT Joy in Jesus, and we should also expect to DISCOVER an increase of Joy in our lives as we walk the road ahead. Graham reminds us of David’s words in the Psalms -- that in God’s presence is fullness of joy. Since we have His presence on the inside of us, joy is already part of the environment in which we get to live. Key Scriptures for this episode are: + James 1:2-4 + Psalm 16:11 + Philippians 4:4 Enjoy!

This episode is Part 2 of 2, in our sixth installment of the Q+A with Graham series. In this clip, Graham continues addressing a question by Brilliant family member, Patrick. In his answer, he continues to describe discovering a new found depth and grace in God in the midst of personal illness and hardship. Drawing from his own experience, Graham brings perspective to how we can engage with, realign with, and abide in God in such situations. He elaborates on how the Holy Spirit is a spirit of disclosure, making known unto us heaven’s very thoughts and heart for our situation;... and how the Lord, being our keeper, roots us in His provisional promises... so that we can be purposefully enveloped in His redemptive and strengthening hope. Enjoy.

Today’s message is from a Brilliant TV episode entitled “Upgrading Our Lens of Grace” from the series, God’s Empowering Presence. Graham talks about our lenses and how we see things, how we perceive things, and how we ultimately interpret them. This impacts every area of our life! God is at work transforming our lenses to see how He sees and think as He thinks.

In this episode, Graham answers a question from one of our listeners. Graham talks about how intimacy with the Lord begins with Him, and this solid fact is both our foundation and starting point in our relationship. Graham discusses the simplicity of connection with the Father, learning to trust in his unwavering commitment to us, and His promise to never leave us nor forsake us at any time. The trinity are all at work within you to grow and sustain your fellowship with them, creating a secure, restful and peaceful haven inside of you, in which you can abide with full assurance of Their care.

Explore the ever present, wholesome and perfect love of the Father towards us. For the believer, there exists a place of abiding from which we are meant to live and move and in which any and all fear is utterly driven out. This is the wondrous space of first love, the type of love that has always existed between the Father and Jesus, shared between them since before the beginning of time. That treasured space of intimacy is a believers eternal home and dwelling place. This clip is taken from Graham's teaching: Unlocking First Love within the video series The Marvelous Way God Works on Brilliant TV.
