Summary
Discover what happens when speaking to someone's identity becomes more than a one-time event—it becomes our way of life. In this conclusion to the epiphany series, Graham Cooke reveals that when we act toward difficult people as though their God-given identity were true, we're actually being most like Jesus because that's exactly what He does all the time. The blessing we give out returns to us pressed down, shaken together, and running over. As we speak identity to others, the Holy Spirit begins engaging with us about our own identity. This teaching shows how God sees us—not as people with something wrong, but as people missing a few things from our relationship with Him, which He fully intends to give us.
**Key Scriptures:**
+ Luke 6:38. "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over..."
+ Galatians 6:7. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap..."
+ Romans 12:2. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

| 0:00.0 | What happens when we start speaking to who people are becoming instead of who they're being right now? |
| 0:08.0 | Hello friends, welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | As we celebrate Christmas this week, there's something beautiful about remembering that God spoke identity over humanity through the incarnation, showing us who we really |
| 0:23.6 | are by becoming one of us. Today, Graham reveals the practice that changed everything. |
| 0:29.6 | Writing down what God loves about difficult people and acting toward them as though their identity |
| 0:35.4 | were true. We'll discover that this isn't just about helping them change. |
| 0:40.7 | It transforms us too. |
| 0:43.5 | When we speak identity over people, we're actually acting like Jesus. |
| 0:48.8 | Let's jump in with Graham. |
| 0:52.9 | You know what the Lord said to me, |
| 0:55.4 | Gray, everyone wants to be better. |
| 0:59.1 | Sometimes, some people have more people telling them who they're not |
| 1:04.1 | than who they are. |
| 1:06.7 | And judgments are a hard thing to escape. |
| 1:09.8 | But grace is a territory all by itself. And when you tell |
| 1:16.0 | someone their identity in the face of bad behavior, you're giving them an opportunity to see something. |
| 1:24.3 | You're telling them who they are. You're telling them how the Lord sees them, what the Lord |
| 1:28.8 | loves about them. And you're giving them an opportunity to rise up, begin to see themselves differently. |
| 1:35.9 | It's called transformation. And it's a wonderful thing, eh? Every one of us wants to be transformed. |
| 1:45.3 | Anyone got some super horrendous person in their life? |
| 1:52.0 | If you do, stand up. |
| 1:53.8 | I'm standing up, so. |
