    Pure gold! After listening to you for nearly 2 years Graham I’m really able to now understand what you are saying! (Chuckle chuckle) The breakthrough came about a 2 months ago when I was finally coming out of a 5 year wilderness with Him. I was able to practice this more and more and get results the more that I died to my flesh and persisted in the practicing! I feel light, free, confidant, strong, clear focused, peaceful and the best of all I am connected so beautifully to Jesus and falling more in love with Him each day. It’s an ongoing practice everyday and it’s beginning to be the ‘norm’. Bless you Graham for sharing your walk and experiences. For teaching us these things with God that you have overcome and how God pulled you along. So good!

This just just reminded me that being with God, the privilege of getting to go to Him and hear from Him, is much more important, beautiful, and peace giving, and joyful, than my circumstances changing. Thank You Most High God, for the reminder of Your character, Your heart, and Your love.

    I'm sitting here balling my eyes out and laughing at the same time listening to you, this is where God has brought me, having unexplainable peace in what seems like a hopeless situation that's being going on for years, knowing the person I use to be and seeing where God has brought me and the realization that Almighty God of all existence adores me so much he's constantly moving to make sure I become as he has designed...in him. trying to grasp some kind of word that can express my adoration in who he is, is futile, no word has been created to even come close to how amazingly awesome he is or my thankfulness for his mercy towards me, but you just described perfectly what he's done in me. How amazing it is to be in this place with him!!🙇🏻‍♀️❤️

    This teaching was an exact follow up of what has happened to me. I made a conscious decision to give my fear & worry to Jesus & found peace knowing that no matter what I don’t have to face things alone. My conversation has become different with the Lord lately. I’m asking for more of what He wants & less of what I do. Even still, I’m asking for more of Him…knowing that nothing I can produce can speak to others than my relationship with Him. This teaching blew me away as I had just journaled my thoughts and prayers & found that they were exactly the same. I’m moved by the Holy Spirit in a sweeping and tangible way. Thank you, brother. Thank you.

    Myself and my wife have SO enjoy the things you have shared. It has given us a new sense of joy and freedom. We haven't run into teaching this. We have listen to God filled pastors but your teaching
    is so different and when I have share these things with others it had given others a sence of freedom they have not heard before. I have with many people of " God is not interested in working on your past, don't even bring it up to Him. If it has been covered with the blood of Jesus then He is only interested in the new you. In your sharing their fellowship with them and in your being like them. That has helped SO MANY PEOPLE GOD HAS BROUGHT TO US. We made it our desire to not speak negativity in our home but only words that speak life in others

    I had a similar dream of trying to escape people after me and someone was with me, maybe an angel, maybe the Lord but he layed me down with him, me in his arms and he put a cloth over our face (my thought was, what good is this going to do?) But they came and was looking all over and they couldn't even see us though they looked all around in our direction.
    I understand now that even though my mind didn't understand because I followed what he wanted and layed down (died to flesh) he was able to make me stealth/invisible to my enemies❤️❤️❤️

    Ultimately its about God's glory and honor at any cost.It's not what we think should be right now its waiting to be sure what God wants, we still live in an age of sacrifice, sacrifice of what the flesh wants! because we love God enough to prefer his happiness over our own 'happiness'

    Only Holy Spirit can give us self control....so really we can boast of NOTHING but God's Love....and we learn to love because He first Loved US!!! So simple but the world system and the prince of it constantly telling us how wrong we are, including most who call themselves Christians. Very sad and I am so thankful I wasn't "churched" at all. Radically saved and it was NOT my sins I was supernaturally astounded by....it was this brilliant light of Love, and I knew it was from God. I will never be perfected in this fallen world full of fallen people but I have peace that this world can NEVER give, and joy even in the midst of horrible circumstances, and the ONLY one I trust is Jesus. His Love NEVER fails... regardless of the circumstances, which do most everyday. But every morning now I say, This is a day that YOU Lord have made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Just that has helped me through many difficulties and given me inspiration and wisdom that is just praise worthy. Thank you for the encouragement and loving kindness.

    Hello Graham and all my brothers in Jesus, I speak Spanish but I will do my best to let you know my experience with this message. I was in my devotional time with our Father and I recibe a vision in the Spirit of the outline of a man's body, the outline was golden and his arms were embracing as if protecting someone, I did not understand the vision but I felt a conviction to enter your UA-cam channel and see your last video, then I realized that what Dad gave you to share was what he was also sharing with me, and I was able to understand the vision, it was an invitation for me to know this beautiful secret place called "self control" many thank you for sharing the wisdom that our Father has given you, blessings.

    Hi Graham😊in 2019 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and it just felt like it was the end for me. But one of my friends gave me the book Game Changer and I was studying it and I knew this would be teaching me to get to the next level. However I had to do chemo and radiation and surgery. And I had two strokes.
    Well you probably know chemo destroys the brain and your body. I’m having a hard time remembering things but I keep studying. My emotions are really bad.
    But my question is because of all my problems especially remember thing I don’t hear from God anymore, I want to know how to pray so I can get through this traumatic life I have now. My cancer did come back.
    Thank you for your time
    Love you, God Bless

    Thank you so much for your teachings. They have meant a lot to me! There’s a lot of areas I’m getting un- stuck in, but this one I’m a little unclear on. Would you include self control for desires or passions in this? I mean those which do not lead to death. I have certain food sensitivities and yet I catch myself pushing the limits because I just really want a bit of ice cream or a sip of soda or something like that. I intend to resist or rather rest in God‘s provision, but instead, I find myself ashamed that I’ve taken another bite of something. And hurting from it! How would you frame this kind of situation?

    Please pray for me. I'm feeling so trapped and confused lately. Aug 2020 God supernaturally delivered me from a prescription medication called Suboxone (no withdrawals, nothing.. unheard of, naturally) that was the night I hear His audible voice. He called me by name. Fast forward to the present moment.. I had a bad day about 9 or 10 months ago and like a dog returning to it's vomit, I went back. I've spent the last 9 or 10 months striving to stop and failing MISERABLY!!! About 8 plus months ago we were attending our old church (we left due to some weird things going on their) and while there during one service I heard a voice-not audible (whom I assumed was Holy Spirit) tell me that I needed to stop this medication and until I did that I would be effected by a spirit of confusion. Here I am today, so confused, so bound, so tired of fighting. Idk how to stop. Idk if it's even God telling me to stop anymore or if I came into agreement with confusion months back and that's what is going on . I just don't know. But one thing I do know is I lack the fruit of self control in my life. Please pray for me . I want to be holy so I can see God clearer, like I use to. I want to be aware of Him with me throughout the day, like I use to be. I feel so bound and like such a hypocrite for my UA-cam ministry.. who am I to preach Christs freedom when I'm not currently free.. God bless you! And thank you for this timely message!
