Summary

Radical Permission #3: We are created to live in the undivided affection of God. In that place, our grace and peace multiplies. Every circumstance is designed to confirm who Jesus is for you and who you are becoming in Him.

Key Scriptures:

+ 2 Peter 1:2-4. May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. Through these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust.

+ Genesis 1:26. Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness…”

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspective's podcast, where we're all about bringing the
0:07.1	kingdom of God into our everyday lives. I'm your host J. Lynn Bowden and I'm so delighted to be on this journey with you.
0:17.0	Today we're going to hear about the amazing truth, that every situation we face is actually a divine setup.
0:25.0	It's always about seeing who Jesus is for us and who we're growing into in him.
0:32.0	As we understand our unity with the Father, the Son, Jesus, and the Holy
0:37.4	Spirit of God, that's when grace and peace begin multiplying in our lives. And God's grace is exactly what
0:45.2	empowers us to become the person he sees when he looks at us. So take a
0:50.4	breath and take a moment to simply thank God
0:53.8	that he's already prepared the soil of your heart
0:56.7	to receive his goodness.
0:59.1	Now, let's dive in with Graham Cook.
1:20.4	Every situation you face is designed to confirm who Jesus is for you and who you are going to become in him. It doesn't matter the situation. You get to face it with God in the same way that
1:31.4	he's facing it with you.
1:35.0	You're never on your own, and it's not about you.
1:39.0	Sorry to burst your balloon and all,
1:42.0	but it's not about you, it's about him. And if it's about
1:48.0	him, then it's about you being in him. And he does that. All we're learning to do is stay where God has put us.
2:00.0	There's nothing you can do to get into the things that God wants for you.
2:05.0	You don't do anything to get in, you do everything to stay in.
2:11.0	You can perform in staying in because you're in. You don't have to earn your
2:17.9	way in, it's a gift. To turn to your neighbor and say you look like you're in to me.
2:23.0	And then look to the other person and say,
