Brilliant Perspectives

We are jumping into the third session of our theme of “Joy” this month.

In this portion, taken from the message “Joy That Strengthens” on BrilliantTV, Graham really dives in powerfully to the concepts and truths that should define our way of thinking and seeing, in regards to our joy, it’s rightful place in our lives, and it’s enduring power in our circumstances.

Enjoy a good challenge and encouragement at the end of this short clip!

In this episode we continue with the theme of Joy from last week, listening to a clip from one of Graham’s teachings found on BrilliantBookHouse.com called “The Practice of Delight.”

Some key thoughts that Graham explores in this episode:

- “Joy is Who God is, and heaven is full of joy. So joy is the atmosphere of heaven,” ...thus it’s a reality that we can live in because of our citizenship there and our placement in Christ in heavenly places.

- In the Holy Spirit, you can make even the smallest thing a delight.

- God is FULL of pleasure and joy! He’s the happiest person we can know.

- Learn to see the good. Learn to see the joy. Learn to see the pleasure in life, because it enlarges you on the inside.

-Learn to take pleasure in your relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

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 clip with Graham is both heavy and beautiful. It’s not heavy in a negative sense, but in weighty truth. It touches on the magnificent Love of our God, and drives home some of the splendorous truths and implications of His Love.

Father’s Love is so massive and unworldly, there’s more to it than can ever be described. We will forever be in awe and wonder at how great and marvelous He is.

Enjoy this piece that just begins to describe and unpack the qualities of God’s immense love, from Graham’s moving series, “Uncommon Love.”

In this episode, we have something a little different for you. A beautiful track from one of Graham’s prophetic soaking and devotional albums. This prophetic word is shared with instrumental music composed along with it to enhance the experience of receiving from the Father and His words.

Graham shares prophetically, from the Father’s perspective of how He sees and relates to you as His dearly beloved and precious child and the wondrous truths that accompany that revelation.

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.
