Graham Cooke - Day Two

Still processing the personal impact Graham's teachings had on me. Hope to post about it in a couple days when the dust has settled.

For now, here are my notes, part two. Again, they are disjointed. But if you are familiar with Graham you probably will get most of it. Also, not all of this is verbatim (can't write that fast). Some of it is word-for-word, some is just general ideas and impressions.

• Declaring the Season of Enlargement
• Opening a whole new territory
• Suddenlies - divine acceleration
• There is a quickening spirit on Graham - he can release it whereever he goes. Things that would take years will take months, weeks, days, hours, moments.
• A place of critical frustration. If you're dissatisfied with where you are, don't like where youve come from and are nervous about what's out there ahead of you.
• Moving on - God makes you frustrated. Should be frustrated with self and not others or church.
• Frustration gets you into the mood to move. Frustration preceeds enlargement.
• Have to have the mindset to come into enlargement.
• This season is exciting and loud.
• It's not a fair fight. 1/3 of angels fell, we still outnumber them two-to-one. We are condemned to victory.
• A place of power and supremacy. We get to magnify, but need to be careful what we magnify.
• Don't magnify the enemy, he makes you feel small. Magnify the right flippin' thing.
• It's a season of promises. Take out your prophetic words - some of them will some true this year.
• The Holy Spirit will teach us two things in this season - Sensitivity and Obedience.
• In the new thing the knowledge of the old thing won't help you. Don't look for more of what you've already seen.
• Hebrews 11:8
• Called to go to a place of inheiritance but not knowing whre you're going. God is not going to tell you.
• Only way to find out where to go is through sensitivity and obedience.
• God doesn't want your HEAD to KNOW, He wants your HEART to EXPERIENCE.
• Christinanity is to be an affair of the heart.
• God will talk to you in two ways - from His heart and from His head.
• When He speaks from His heart you have to respond from your heart. Don't respond from your head. If you do, you won't get anything else.
• You can't say "No, Lord". If you say "No" then He's not Lord.
• He won't tell you "how" until you say "Yes."
• Logic and reason close down the possibilities of the Spirit.
• Your head will talk you out of things of the Spirit.
• Ephesians 1:18
• Wisdom - Capacity to know how God thinks and how He likes to do things. Knowing how He sees.
• Pass from FAITH to KNOWLEDGE. BELIEVE --> KNOW. Know form experience, So you know in your knower.
• Your heart has a perspective that your head has to come under.
• Don't ask "Why'. Ask "What does this mean?" "What should I do?" "Why" is an invalid question. it will make you an invalid.
• God takes responsibility for telling us which way to go - but he might not tell us which way to go, He might only tell us if we are headed the wrong way.
• Enlargement - the bigness of God. Seeing how big He is for you.
• Chuch is not a community of people who define themselves by what they are AGAINST, but by what Jesus is FOR. Jesus was judged 2000 years ago. Leave judgement alone. Nobody gets saved by judgment.
• You are defined by the quality of the enemy that is against you. When faced with a giant you aren't looking failure in the face, HE IS. The Holy Spirit says "we are going to kick his ASS!"
• Isaiah 54:1-3
• Continuing to ask God for something He has promised builds confidence.
• Overview of the Season of Enlargement:
• Preparing for something enormous.
• Teaches us the wys of God
• Worship opens the affection of God. Give thanks until you become thanks.
• What you behold, you become.
• Rooted in intimacy.
• Get to be jealous for the name of God.
• It's about expansion into my inheiritance.
• The grace and the unction to take possession of my inheiritance.
• Waiting with the joy of anticipation.
• Waiting does not diminish us. We are like a pregnant woman - we are enlarged in the waiting. We don't see what is enlarging us but we feel it!
• Stretch out our place of habitation.

So that's it in a nutshell. Hope you got something out of it.
