Discover what happens when speaking to someone's identity becomes more than a one-time event—it becomes our way of life. In this conclusion to the epiphany series, Graham Cooke reveals that when we act toward difficult people as though their God-given identity were true, we're actually being most like Jesus because that's exactly what He does all the time. The blessing we give out returns to us pressed down, shaken together, and running over. As we speak identity to others, the Holy Spirit begins engaging with us about our own identity. This teaching shows how God sees us—not as people with something wrong, but as people missing a few things from our relationship with Him, which He fully intends to give us.

**Key Scriptures:**

+ Luke 6:38. "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over..."

+ Galatians 6:7. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap..."

+ Romans 12:2. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

What happens when we discover there's nothing wrong with the difficult person in our life—only something missing? Graham Cooke shares the story of completely losing his composure with an intensely negative person, and the stunning revelation that followed. When Graham demanded to know "What is wrong with that guy?" he heard a small voice say, "Absolutely nothing." Through Colossians 2:13-14, we discover what was nailed to the cross besides Jesus—the decrees we make against people because of their behavior. This teaching reveals why everyone wants to be better, how grace becomes a territory all by itself, and what happens when we speak to someone's identity in the face of bad behavior. Both the speaker and the hearer are transformed.

**Key Scriptures:**

+ Colossians 2:13-14. "Having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us..."

+ Romans 6:11. "Reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God..."

+ 2 Corinthians 5:16. "We regard no one according to the flesh..."

How would our lives change if we saw ourselves the way God sees us? Graham Cooke unpacks one of the most powerful revelations of his life—Exodus 7:1, where God tells Moses, "See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh." We discover that God goes to extraordinary lengths to empower us to see ourselves as He really sees us, and when we finally see it, everything changes. Through four distinct epiphanies from this single scripture, we learn that God never takes no for an answer, He calls us to the impossible so He can make all the difference, and whatever He sees in us, we get to become forever. This teaching explores why difficult people are actually grace growers and how God creates opportunities to develop what He most wants to give us.

**Key Scriptures:**

+ Exodus 7:1. "See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet..."

+ Colossians 2:10. "And you are complete in Him..."

+ 1 John 4:17. "As He is, so are we in this world..."

What if a single encounter with God could change everything about how we see ourselves? Graham Cooke explores the nature of epiphanies—those sudden, delightful moments when God opens a door, pushes us gently into a new space, and whispers, "All of this is yours, explore it with me." Through his personal story of inadequacy and stammering, and the journey of Moses at the burning bush, we discover that God doesn't call us to what we can do, but to what only He can do through us. This teaching reveals why God goes strategically deaf when we make excuses, and why the impossible calling is actually the most wonderful invitation.

Key Scriptures:

+ Exodus 3:10. "I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people out of Egypt..."

+ Exodus 4:10. "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past..."

+ Exodus 4:12. "Now then go, and I will be with your mouth..."

When Christ lives in us, we become 200% people—ourselves plus Jesus—with unlimited capacity to wage war, pray, and do miracles. Graham Cooke reveals why we should stop trying to fix weaknesses and instead embrace all of Christ's strengths, how true accountability calls people up to their identity rather than out on their behavior, and what it means to explore Kingdom territory with holy curiosity. Discover Graham's vision of a nameless, faceless generation doing ordinary signs and wonders daily, becoming so embedded in their communities that they're irresistible, and turning the world upside down as heaven invades earth.

Key Scriptures:

+ Galatians 2:20. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

+ Colossians 2:10. "And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."

+ 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."

+ Acts 17:6. "But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, 'These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.'"

Graham Cooke reveals why intimacy with Jesus is our greatest weapon in spiritual warfare, how David's worship on hillsides created the shield that protected him against Goliath, and why we need to seriously upgrade our rejoicing, thanksgiving, and exultant worship.

**Key Scriptures:**

"But David said to Saul, 'Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.' Moreover David said, 'The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.'"

+ Psalm 23:1-4. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."

+ John 5:19. "Then Jesus answered and said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.'"

We're all called to have territory in the Kingdom—a business, city, people group, or cause where we serve as first fruits and resource others. Graham Cooke explores how God is shifting us from network-focused ministry to geographic apostolic vision where entire cities can be transformed when we embrace the truth that other churches matter. Discover what it means to live from your present into your future rather than from your past into your present, and how this conversation with God about your territory is more urgent than you might think.

When does a promise from God actually become real - is it when we see it happen, or when we believe it's already done?
