Brilliant Perspectives

God doesn’t want us to know truth in our head; He wants us to know the truth in our heart and have it revealed in the way we see, think, speak and act.

The Fruit of the Spirit is an encounter with God that leads us into an ongoing experience of who He is, creating a place for us to learn how we can abide in His nature. They give us the power of God and enable us to become Christ-like, which is always His primary intention.

God is remodeling our lives by renewing us into our new man in Christ. In this process, He is deeply passionate about walking with us to restore our thinking and develop new mindsets rooted in our identity in Him.

The old you is irrelevant, useless and out-of-date, and has no power to make itself new. However, our old mindsets, practices, language and lifestyle can contain the Holy Spirit and prevent us from discovering who we really are in Jesus.

The mind of Christ allows us to turn a weakness into a joyful vulnerability to His goodness. In Him, we get to take all negative thoughts captive and turn them into brilliant ones. Our mindset is either working for us or against us, and through our new mind in Jesus, we always have upgrades in thinking available to us.

Transformation comes by the renewing of our mind. As we upgrade the way we see, think, and speak about what God is doing and who we are becoming, we have the opportunity to renew our spiritual lenses.

Spiritual warriors walk humbly with God because they know humility is not timidity. They live from the reality of having confidence access to God through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

We have the opportunity to become a spiritual warrior that fights from the total majesty and the absolute certainty of God’s unchanging nature. When we feel intimidated by life’s situations, we have an opportunity to upgrade our intimacy with His nature and come into an experience of what He is really like.

Abiding is about dwelling, living and remaining in the space God has created between Jesus and Himself. This gives us a place to have an intimate connection with both the Father and the Son, and the privilege of remaining there as the beloved.

Every circumstance gives us the opportunity to think brilliantly about God, ourselves, and the situation we are in. The key is learning to think with Jesus and live from His mind in order to receive the upgrades available to us in these situations.

Our role in the earth is to be loved by God and then respond to that love. God gives us His love so we can be restored to His passion for us, which is defined by the way He loves and speaks about Jesus.

Rest is the tangible expression of God’s presence. When we practice it, we’ll feel His touch, hear His voice, and experience His presence in a renewed way. Rest allows us to guard our inner territory and displace any negatives trying to infiltrate our lives because it’s a brilliant weapon against the enemy.

Victory is our starting place in the Kingdom. We don’t need to get anywhere in our situations because we are already there in Jesus, giving us a breakthrough and victory that has already been assigned to us. We can’t live in Jesus and not be highly favored.

Rest is the key to overcoming our trust issues so that we can receive our provisions, blessings, and ultimately the fullness of our inheritance.

God wants to have several relationships with us so we can experience Him in completely different ways. Each one of these relationships is key for different stages of our development in Him.
