    The Process Makes Us Rich

    The Process Makes Us Rich

    The process we engage in with God is what makes us truly rich … not just the outcome at the end of the journey. We feel safe and free when we know how He wants to walk with us, and we are continually becoming more like Him as we learn to love the process. Joy, peace, and delight are not postponed until the outcome is seen. They can be discovered at every turn, throughout the entirety of our growth and development.



    Key Scripture:

    + Jeremiah 17:7-8. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord.

    Finding Your Fight of Faith

    Finding Your Fight of Faith

    God is passionate about every aspect of your life. He created you for good works, and He invites you into the easy yoke and light burden of walking with Him. When the pressures of the world fight for our attention, how do we uncover our Kingdom assignment and partner with God’s passion for our world?



    Looking for more brilliant content on Fighting Your Fight of Faith? Join Graham Cooke and Dionne van Zyl for a FREE 1-hour live training on Tuesday, March 5th at 1 PM (Pacific Time). ⁠CLICK HERE⁠ to sign up.



    Key Scriptures:



    + 1 Timothy 6:12. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.



    + Ephesians 2:10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.



    + Matthew 11:28-30. Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.



    + John 5:19-20. So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.

    Upstairs / Downstairs

    Upstairs / Downstairs

    Most Christians have resigned to living two separate lives. We find ourselves setting boundaries between our spiritual lives in the Kingdom and the “real world” where our workplaces and families seem to reside. God’s intention has always been for us to live fully integrated lives. So how do we make God’s reality our reality?



    We’re getting ready for our annual virtual conference by sharing the highlights you loved most from Brilliance23. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for extended content, bonus Q&A time with Graham, and personal stories from community members just like you!



    Key Scriptures:

    + John 5:19-20. I speak to you eternal truth. The Son is unable to do anything from himself or through his own initiative. I only do the works that I see the Father doing, for the Son does the same works as his Father…

    + Ephesians 2:6. And He raised us up together with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

    Unstuck from Spiritual Discipline

    Unstuck from Spiritual Discipline

    There’s something better than discipline that’s always on offer with God. For every upgrade He has for us in our identity and calling, there is a relational invitation into joy and delight which prepares us to thrive at a new level.



    This devotional comes from pages 66 and 67 of letter #7 in The Nature of Freedom (2017 edition).



    Key Scriptures:

    + 2 Corinthians 3:18. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

    + Philippians 2:13. Philippians 2:13: For it is GOD who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

    Unstuck from Limitations of Logic

    Unstuck from Limitations of Logic

    We can get stuck for all kinds of reasons, but rarely is there a way out when we put logic and reason above God’s wisdom. When we understand that His nature is constant and unchanging, His ways of thinking are designed to produce faith and trust within us.



    This devotional comes from the first paragraph on page 66 of letter #7 in The Nature of Freedom.



    Key Scriptures:



    + Isaiah 55:9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.



    + Philippians 4:7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.



    + Genesis 18:14: Is anything too difficult for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.



    + Numbers 14:24 But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.

    Unstuck from Trying Harder

    Unstuck from Trying Harder

    Most of us have places where we feel stuck, but we’ve mistakenly thought that all the weight is on us to become unstuck. In the Kingdom, however, the responsibility for experiences with the Truth is never with us. It’s always with God.



    This devotional comes from the first part of letter #7 (”An Invitation to Come Unstuck”) on page 65 in The Nature of Freedom.



    Key Scriptures:



    + Ephesians 2:10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.



    + Jeremiah 31:33-34. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people…

The Only Preacher I Listen To

Many preachers have come and gone with many straying as God cleans His house. I walked away from the American church in 2020 and wrestled with much of the religious jargon I was raised in. Graham has been my favorite go-to pastor for years and even now, he’s always got my ear as I believe he is one of the few that truly understand the good news of the gospel and how vital it is we know and walk in our new identity in Christ. I’m tired of walking around as if I were an orphan when I’m truly an heiress. God bless.
