Brilliant Perspectives Graham Cooke

Do you believe what God believes about you? Join us for our Challenge Highlights Series as we listen to an excerpt from our most recent Brilliant Challenge. In this episode, Graham and co-host Lindsay van Zyl discuss key truths in learning how to trade our negative perception of ourselves with the beautiful perspective of who God sees us as.

This is Part Two of the Conference Clips series of Expectations! 
God has located us in the one place that guarantees confident expectation – He put us into Jesus. This is the foundation of every promise God has made with us.
Hope is expectation and expectation leads to a place of joyful anticipation. No matter what you’re facing, you can learn to anticipate the presence of God. 
Every time hope is mentioned in Scripture, it’s mentioned in the context of ‘confident expectation leading to anticipate with joy.’
Expectation leads you to a place of joyful anticipation so that no matter what you’re facing, you can learn to anticipate the presence of God, not just hope you get it circumstantially in the moment because you know what God is like.

Newness of Life means that we are never stuck in our old responses, mindsets or habit patterns.  There is always a gift of the Lord available every day and in every situation.
If you want to have a better or different year than the one you’ve just had, then it’s imperative to not travel forward with any mistakes or defeats.
However, we can learn from them and embrace the provision of God for a more excellent way.  We can experience His goodness, encounter His power and prosper in His passion for us.
The old man of the flesh keeps you down.
The New Creation in Christ always takes you higher
It’s possible to make several years growth in 2020!

In the Kingdom, the entrance of Joy increases our spiritual, mental and emotional capacity to receive God’s presence in a way that places us above difficult circumstances.
No one can take your joy from you, but you can surrender it by not understanding its power.
Joy transforms our own internal atmosphere in times of fear, distress or uncertainty. It connects us to God’s eternal environment of Joy in a way that impacts our external circumstances.
During this holiday season, discover the power of joy to transform your life and the lives of everyone you encounter.  
May your Christmas experience be full of Joy.

It is impossible for the Father to see you disconnected from love. 
We have all done silly (or even really stupid) things, but not even those things can separate yourself from the love of God.
You will not become brilliant because you get your act together. You will become brilliant when you realize how amazing He is, how He never changes, and how He includes you in Him.
It’s time to settle this in your heart once and for all, Beloved. I know this podcast will help you do just that!
