Summary

In this episode, Graham poses the statement: “We are citizens of heaven, living here on earth, which means our life in Christ is lived above our circumstances.” He continues with powerful insights like these: — “Our whole anointing, for every single one of us, is about one thing: how we, as individuals and as a Body, interact with heaven when we are together.” — “The world that we live in tells us what we are not, constantly. But the realm that we inhabit in the Spirit, and are true citizens of, is never about problems, it’s only about promises.” — “If you don’t master intimacy, you won’t last long on any level.” Be blessed! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brilliant-persepctives/message

0:00.0	Hi and welcome to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast with Graham Cook. I'm your host, Michael
0:08.7	Beckio. This podcast episode features the beginning of one of Graham's messages from Brilliant
0:13.4	Bookhouse.com titled, Taking God for Granted. I've included the first three tracks from it.
0:19.3	In the intro, Graham poses this statement. We are citizens of heaven living here on Earth,
0:24.8	which means that our life in Christ is lived above our circumstances. All right, let's
0:30.9	get to it. Enjoy.
0:35.3	You know that vision is not about the direction in which we're going. It's about the height
0:48.0	at which we're traveling. Everything about being in Christ is about elevation. We are
0:57.7	described as being citizens of heaven here on Earth. That means we live from a place above
1:05.8	our circumstances, yeah? We are seated with Christ in heavenly places, Ephesians 1, far
1:15.7	above all. Everything in Christ is about elevation. Colossians 3, 1 and 2 tells us to seek the
1:25.8	things which are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things
1:33.9	above, not on things on the Earth. Everything about us, God is given us when He put us into
1:41.5	Christ. He gave us elevated status. That means we live above. We think from a place above. We view
1:50.5	things from a place above. Everything connected with life in the Spirit is about height.
2:00.1	Our vision, therefore, is not just about what direction are you going in now. It's about what
2:06.3	height does God want you to travel at in this next time frame. Paul talked about reaching forward
2:16.8	for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Jesus talked about on Earth as it is in
2:25.9	heaven. He gave us permission that whatever was been bound in heaven could now be bound on Earth.
2:33.4	Whatever was loosed in heaven could now be loosed on Earth. And so that presupposes that our fix
2:39.9	and our focus has to be heaven itself, not the surroundings in which we find ourselves.
2:46.7	The enemy loves to convince you about the level that you're on.
