Summary
What if every time we put a negative on ourselves, we're cutting short the conversation God most wants to have with us? Graham Cooke explores why the enemy attacks our language and our mindset more than anything else, and how God's response is always to speak to who we're becoming — not who we've been. Through stories of family, fathers, and a 19th birthday gift, we get to encounter the relentless way Heaven calls us up into our true identity.
Key Scriptures:
+ James 3:1-12. "The tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things... It sets on fire the course of our life."
+ 2 Corinthians 5:17. "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
+ Galatians 5:22-23. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
+ Ephesians 2:6. "And raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."
