Favor is released because God has a passion for us that is designed to provoke astonishment. It’s a new creation reality that upgrades our expectation to the same level that Jesus enjoyed.

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.

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 ..read more

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.

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.

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.

"If all your thinking has brought you to a place you don’t like, have another thought.”
Remember, we don’t become a new creation by changing our behavior. We put off the old things completely. Then we discover who we already are in Jesus and step into that identity, guided by the Holy Spirit.
Key Scriptures:
+ 1 Corinthians 6:17. But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
+ Galatians 5:1. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

We aren’t taking anything from our old nature into our new covenant relationship with Christ. God’s goodness and mercy completely redeems our past. Now we can be “present-future” focused in all our dealings, living fully in the present moment while eagerly anticipating what God has in store for the future. In every difficult situation we face, He simply compels us to see, think, and speak differently we learn to walk with Him in newness of life.
Key Scriptures:
+ 2 Corinthians 5:14-21. […] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoing ..read more

Every situation is primarily about one thing: being made into the image of God and receiving an identity upgrade. Instead of making panicked decisions based on where we’ve come from, Christ living within us is the empowering presence that allows us to see who we are becoming and where we are headed with Him.
Key Scriptures:
+ Romans 7:19. For [when I live under the old covenant law] I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.
+ Ephesians 4:20-24. But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taug ..read more
