Hello, this is Graham Cook. Welcome to the Brilliant Perspective's Podcast.

Thanks for joining me for today's podcast. I'm going to share with you why it's important for us to grow in our favor with God as we learn to walk with big Jesus.

The world tells us that you have to pay your dues. But the reality is, you know, Jesus

already paid them. He paid all your dues and we belong to the kingdom where all debts are paid.

So here's a clip from our Tuesday gathering in Santa Barbara

about how to grow in our favor and live beyond our fears and our inadequacies.

Check this out.

I remember when I came to write my first book, developing your prophetic gifting.

And the whole thought of writing a book like fill me with dread.

Because I mean my mom used to say

our grant, he never went to school, he just used to meet the other kids on the way

home, you know, which is pretty true, really.

I mean, you know, school didn't teach me anything that I didn't feel that I didn't already know,

which wasn't a lot, and that was maybe the point.

But when I came to write this, you know, I started thinking about it,

all my insecurities and inadequacies rose up.

I said, I can't do this. I remember the Lord saying, okay, so which one of us is called the word?

Oh, that would be you.

So which one of us has already written a book?

That is like the bestseller of all best sellers year after year that will be you also okay. So I think we're set then

So I sat down then in that spirit I wrote this book and then the Lord said oh when I had the manuscript written I said now what do I do?

He said I'll put it in a draw so it was in a draw for like 18 months and I kept looking at it and the Lord said you know hey this is my book too
