Hello, this is Graham Cook. Welcome to the Brilliant Perspective's Podcast.

Hi, this is Michael Beckio from Brilliant Perspective. Today's podcast is the second part of our two-part series titled

How God uses Scripture, found on brilliant TV. Graham expounds upon the insight that the word of God is not just written scriptures, but is also the person of Jesus, according to John 114.

Enjoy continuing to discover what it looks like to encounter the living word, the prophecy of scripture, and the power of the promises God has prepared for you.

Here's Graham. When God gives you an inheritance word, he gives you a critical point of certainty in his relationship with you.

This is a place where you can stand. Graham, this word belongs to you,

and I am going to shape your life through it.

And so that for me means that it's allowed me to enter into a relationship with God in certain contexts that have

enabled me to overcome and prevail.

So what it's done for me in particular is that it's enabled me to prevail in an area

of ministry that five other guys who I started out with couldn't do. Two of them

killed themselves, two of them are in mental institutions, one is no longer

walking with the Lord.

And here's the thing for me, the reason why I have prevailed is because I understood about

inheritance words.

Your inheritance word keeps you in the heat of battle. It keeps you through

the furnace that you go through, that shapes you, that molds you. It keeps you in all of the circumstances of life

that otherwise might defeat you and overwhelm you and leave you a broken and embittered.

What I learned in all of this

was to take my promises out of the place of measure and into a place of fullness.

My life has been directed.

These are only, I have about eight inheritance words, these are just the first two.
