You Don’t Have to Earn What’s Already Yours

When your mindset is shaped by trust instead of striving, everything changes. In this episode, Pastor Jim Baker of Zion Church joins us for a conversation about healing, provision, and partnering with God from a place of rest. If you’ve been following our series on mindset, this one invites you to take the next step: letting God’s goodness be your starting point.Key Scriptures:+ Hebrews 12:2. Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.+ Luke 16:10–11. The one who is faithful in a very little thing is also faithful in much; and the one who is unrighteous in a very little thing is also unrighteous in much. Therefore, if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?+ Matthew 6:26. Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?+ Psalm 139:17–18. How precious also are Your thoughts for me, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the sand.

Who’s Sponsoring Your Thoughts? | Part 4

Every thought has a source—and the ones we entertain shape how we live, love, and relate to God. In this episode, Graham invites us to examine the origins of our thoughts and teaches us how to respond with peace, joy, and grace instead of reacting from fear or frustration. When we think with God, speculation gives way to clarity, and we begin to experience life through His eyes.Key Scriptures:+ 2 Corinthians 10:5. “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”+ Philippians 4:8. “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”+ Romans 12:2. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”+ 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.”To check out Brilliant Movement, CLICK HERE.To stay connected with Graham Cooke and Team Brilliant, CLICK HERE.As always, thanks for listening!

To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.+ Jeremiah 29:11.
