Summary

What if your prayers could align with God's heart and unlock the fullness of your inheritance in Jesus? In today’s episode, we’ll explore the concept of Crafted Prayer—intentional prayers rooted in the promises we receive as joint heirs with Christ. Join us as we unpack the divine advantage of praying WITH God, and how it empowers us to live with confidence, joy and peace in every situation.

Key Scriptures:

+ Romans 8:17. Because we are His offspring, we qualify to be heirs; God Himself is our portion, we co-inherit with Christ. Since we were represented and included in His suffering, we equally participate in the glory of His Resurrection.

+ Colossians 1:12. Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the saints in the light.

+ Hebrews 7:25. Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

+ Romans 8:27. and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

0:00.0	Hey friends. Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives Podcast. I'm your host
0:05.7	J. Lynn Bowden and I'm so excited that you're joining us today because we'll be
0:10.7	diving into something that is deeply transformational,
0:14.3	praying from the place of our inheritance in Christ.
0:18.8	Today's episode is all about learning how to pray with God, not just towards him. I mean, imagine
0:26.0	praying from a position where you're fully aware that Jesus lives in you and that
0:32.1	you share in his inheritance with the father.
0:36.3	Graham Cook is going to share more about what it means to have a crafted prayer, which is
0:41.2	a prayer that's formed by the promises of God rooted in His word and
0:45.9	flowing from the new creation that we are in Christ. So if you've ever felt like prayer was a one-way conversation, I hope today's episode gently pulls you in to the beauty of praying with God.
1:00.0	Let's jump in.
1:02.0	In 2003, I wrote a book called Crafted Prayer
1:08.0	after I had a series of encounters with God in life
1:12.0	that taught me to understand an experienced prayer
1:16.2	from the place of inheritance in Jesus.
1:20.8	I realize that practicing living as a new creation in Christ
1:26.2	brought me into the place of unique privilege because of the truth that Jesus actually lived in me, which meant I lived in the
1:39.8	place of his inheritance in the father.
1:44.3	You know, we can only pray effectively
1:46.4	from the position of being the beloved in Jesus,
1:50.9	as he is, so are we.
1:54.8	Christ lives in me and I am learning how to live in him with him.
