Summary
What if the language you're learning to speak has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with your identity? In this episode, we explore waking up to who we are in Christ and how God's vision of us is rigid, inflexible, and unchanging—in the best possible way. Graham invites us to discover how we're known in heaven, long before we even knew ourselves.
Key Scriptures:
+ 2 Corinthians 5:17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
+ Colossians 3:2. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
+ Hebrews 13:8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
+ Malachi 3:6. For I am the Lord, I do not change.
+ Luke 1:13-17. The angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John..."
+ Matthew 5:17-48. The Sermon on the Mount - "You have heard it said, but I say to you..."
+ Matthew 17:1-8. The Mount of Transfiguration - Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James, and John, with Moses and Elijah appearing.
+ Luke 16:16. The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached.

| 0:00.0 | Have you ever wondered what it means to truly wake up to who you are in Christ? |
| 0:05.0 | Hello again friends, welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. |
| 0:10.0 | Today we're exploring how we belong to a whole different realm, the kingdom of God, |
| 0:16.0 | and how we're learning a new language there. |
| 0:19.0 | Graham shares about God's unchanging vision for you, the same vision he had for John the Baptist before he |
| 0:24.9 | was even conceived. He'll discover how the cross changes everything and why |
| 0:29.8 | Jesus is the beautiful transitional point between what was and what now is. This is an |
| 0:36.7 | invitation to see yourself the way heaven sees you. |
| 0:40.2 | And let's be honest, it's so much better than we think. |
| 0:43.6 | Let's jump him with Graham Cook. |
| 0:48.3 | So what we're doing is we're waking up to who we are in Christ. We're waking up to the fact that we belong to a whole |
| 0:58.4 | different realm and a whole different domain. We belong to the kingdom and what we're learning |
| 1:04.4 | is how to see in the kingdom, how to think in that kingdom, how to speak from that kingdom, |

| 1:29.3 | You're learning the language of faith, the language of trust, the language of expectation, |
| 1:34.9 | the language of promise, the language that's actually rooted in prophetic ministry. |
| 1:41.7 | God's giving us a language. So when you read through those prophetic words, |
| 1:47.2 | it has a language that calls you up to something higher, to something more powerful. So don't |
| 1:55.2 | let the language of the world drag you down, you know, because the devil's always trying to |
| 2:00.4 | talk you out of something, but God's always trying to talk you out of something, |
| 2:02.4 | but God is always trying to talk you into something. So the New Testament contains a greater |
