Think Brilliantly

"You can't have a loving God who is always angry at stuff that we do. It doesn't compute. God is not disillusioned with you because He never had any illusions in the first place! He knows exactly who you are. You haven't disappointed Him. You haven't upset Him because He is made of stronger stuff. The very idea that we could disillusion God is just too funny for words!"

from the Art of Thinking Brilliantly by Graham Cooke

He likes you too

"I don’t have to understand everything to believe. I just know that God is faithful, He is generous, He is good, He loves me, He is kind, and He really likes me. I just know that! He really, really likes me, and He likes you too! None of this whole “Well, if God knew what I was like, He wouldn’t like me” stuff. It is His desire for you, His affection for you, that worked out the cross in the first place!"

 From THE RECOVERY OF WHOLENESS by Graham Cooke

Grace

Changed by Love

"God's gaze is so full of mercy, favor, laughter, love, grace, compassion, revelation and wisdom. When He looks at you, He sees who you really, really are in His heart. He sees who you are now, but He also has a picture of who you're becoming, and He loves to stand in the middle place between your actual and your potential and love you into being something different."

 From A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS by Graham Cooke

Turning evil into good

"God-conscious spiritual warriors do not allow anything to take their focus off the Lord. We use bad circumstances, as well as good, to advance the Kingdom. Nothing bothers the enemy more than seeing what he meant for evil being used for good! The harder he pushes, the more ground he can lose to a warrior."

From COMING INTO ALIGNMENT by Graham Cooke

The impossible and outrageous

"Christians are not supposed to be doing what is possible. We're supposed to be doing what is impossible and outrageous! To accomplish our calling, we must put our hand in the hand of God, learning to be completely dependent on the Holy Spirit for everything."

Graham Cooke
From THE NATURE OF GOD

Inseparable from God

"We are inseparable from the love of God. The Kingdom of God is within us." 

by Graham Cooke

Promise

From  Graham Cooke

"God places a blessing next to every difficulty, next to every battle, next to every problematic circumstance. He places a promise right next to it because one of the laws of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is that you cannot have a problem without a promise also being present."

The door is open for you

"Jesus is the door into every situation. He is the door into employment. He is the door into health. He is the door into healing. He is the door into wholeness. He is the door in every relationship. As you press into Him, space will open up that is designed for you to occupy."

From THE KIND INTENTIONS OF GOD by Graham Cooke

Looking at you - favourably

"God looks at you so favorably because He knows what He wants to be for you. Jeremiah 29:11 is a verse He lives in, “I know the plans I have for you, to give you a future and a hope.” Not for calamity, but for your welfare. He has got many plans to upgrade your life and circumstances so that you become His visual aid to the Earth in terms of what is possible for a life lived in God."

From MIND OF A SAINT  Graham Cooke

Nobody is safe from a blessing

Encouraging family and friends

“Think of the people around you. What does the Lord want to be for them now? What confidence, encouragement and assurance do they need in order to step up into a new level or place with God?
Over to you now. Make notes on your family and friends, then go and be the gift that the Father wants you to be!”
by Graham Cooke

You are taking it with you.

God's Dream

"Your wildest imagination is nowhere near God's dream for you."
Quote by Graham Cooke

Spiritual Warfare

And warfare is not about pulling down the strongholds of the enemy. It’s about discovering the sovereignty, the supremacy, and the majesty of Jesus.........
In fact, it is not our job to fight the devil. Our job is to “step back” into God and experience His majesty and power. Christ has overcome the devil, so we need to focus on being “in Christ”… Real warfare is about discovering the majesty, the supremacy and the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus Christ. Warfare is about seeking the face of God and enjoying Him as your fortress and your refuge.
Quotes by “Graham Cooke”

Perception

The antidote to my past is not my present being sorted out, it’s me understanding my future. ………..Once God tells you who you are, He will only speak you as that person. He doesn’t go back and speak to you as the person you used to be……Learn to walk in God’s perception of who you are, because yours is not good enough.
