Does anyone have a way of explaining how to "see the opposite" of a negative.

Real life Example; I'm going through the roughest season of my life. Mostly because there are decisions that are being made for me that I have no say in.

How do I view this person who's causing the heartache and how do I respond to them?

It's hard to explain as I'm trying to be vague but I was just wondering how to walk in the Spirit when your heart is being crushed???!!

Thank you! 🙏

Or how do I respond in general to the LARGE negative situation I'm currently in? How is God seeing this? 🙏

Hi Lori, my heart goes out to you. I can only share from my own experience when I was at my worst I had to be intentional to keep my eyes on Jesus. I quote Philippians 4:8 daily keeping my mind on the things above. I would remind myself that God was with me and never abandons me . He tell us he is close to the broken hearted.

I don’t truly know what your going through but know that God sees it all and will work it out for your good because you Love Him and she loves you.

Trust in God and even thought it doesn’t make sense in the natural know that it’s all being worked out in the spirit.

Declare and call things as they are in heaven . Seek His face and ask Him what is He teaching you on this moment and trial ? Trials are times to go higher in Him. Even though you feel helpless and out of control know that our God is MIGHTY TO SAVE and HE IS AKWAYS IN CONTROL! When we let Him.

I hope this helps. Blessing to you.

I pray the Holy Spirit will guide, direct and comfort you though the storm bringing you Safley to shore. I pray you have peace as you battle not against flesh and blood but principalities. I pray His wrap around presence of love and protection penetrate your heart removing all fear and anxiety! Let His perfect love wash over you . He’s always got your back!

Put on your armor and go under His wing were you are always protected!

That was to say and He loves you not she. Couldn’t edit . 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello Anthea and Jill ❤️

Wow! I can't tell you how your life giving words are feeding me right now! I am in the most desperate and intentional place I've ever been in.

Truth be told, I don't hate the person who's causing the pain, I'm actually totally in love with him. He just decided that he'd rather have a life where I wasn't in it. 23 years of marriage is about to be stripped from me and there was not one thing I could do about it!

However, I've never experienced Jesus in such a tangible way before! Even though there are days where I just SCREAM or cry uncontrollably, I also feel Him lift my head and hold me in the most precious and intimate way!!

I hate sin and the effects of it; how it causes a man to think naturally and act on those feelings and they have ZERO to do with The Lord! It kinda sucks that we are left to deal with the free will of man when sometimes, that will is the opposite of Gods!

I am saturating myself in the love of God from the moment I wake up until the time I go to bed and even sometimes in between!

I've been so intentional and deliberate to run into His arms at any given moment and with each opportunity to be crushed, He somehow pulls me up from drowning!

In fact, the other night He spoke to me in my sleep! He told me; "I'm going to teach you how to breathe underwater so you never drown again"!

But learning this is scary and beautiful all at once! Trusting the Lord is the most amazing privilege and yet sometimes, the most terrifying thing to do! I'm sure that gets better with experience, it's just feels very unfamiliar!

Which is crazy as I've been best friends with Jesus for 23 years, yet going through this experience, I feel as if I'm just learning who He really is and who I really am, in Him!

I appreciate you both so much in your quick response! I'm here in Florida trying to go to sleep but these thoughts would not leave me! So I appreciate you both from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your Love and your words of encouragement!

I'm just going to stick to my Jesus like a spider monkey and I know that His love and Hs joy will carry me through these storms! (Ironically, that's my last name)

Thank you friends!
Lori ❤️

Hi Lori,

I hope I’m not waking you.

I just read your beautiful post about our sweet Jesus and running to the Lord in those tough moments. I can relate to your situation about dealing with someone who isn’t kind and they don’t treat you right; aka, my husband. He is not a believer, but he was saved as a child. I’ve been with him since I was 19 and now I’m 41. We have an 8 year old son as well. Our thirties was our rough patch. He has no clue how to talk or treat women or handle stress, but he is the most brilliant man I know. Extremely intelligent and quick to respond to anyone who dares to try. I’m giving you a little background of my life because I’m hoping this will help you. As for me, I grew up in a religious home. In November of 2019, Jesus showed up in my closet with me and that’s when my relationship started with Him!!! He is so so real!!! I’ve had many many encounters since then. I am so grateful to Graham and Brilliant TV.

When it comes to negativity, I use the fruits of the spirit. I memorized them and when I’m in a situation, I quiet myself (literally mentally checkout) and ask the Holy Spirit which one applies in this particular situation. It takes a lot of practice, but if you practice this and practice and practice, the Lord will make things start happening within your spirit. IT’S AMAZING!!! Trust Him!! Keep your inner man focused on Him. It took me a long time to understand the difference between the old man and the new man. I understood with my mind, but not my spirit. Once you have that spiritual separation and understanding between the two, the process of learning through tough circumstances becomes quite fun because the old you is dying off and your understanding of who the Holy Spirit is for you has strengthened. I’m sure you know these things. I just love talking about it!

Another thing I have done, repeatedly, every day, every situation, every harsh word spoken to me, I’ve asked God to let me see my husband as He does. I told God I want to see my husband through the eyes of Jesus. I have asked this for months. Moment by moment, I relentlessly ask God to allow me to see my husband. Well, about two weeks, that happened. I thought it would be a logical understanding using my mind, but that’s not at all what’s happening. One thing I keep in mind when dealing with my husband or anyone else that’s difficult is that person is talking from the flesh. Their behavior is irrelevant because they are talking from their old man. They don’t know who they are. So at that point I have the choice to take the power back and look at that person from a mindset of Jesus, which is love. The words coming out of their mouth they don’t even hear. The Holy Spirit reminds me all the time, they know not what they do. Harsh words are not ok, but it is ok for you to allow the Holy Spirit to relationally show you love and comfort you when your emotions are overriding who you know you are.

I have to say one thing. I love my husband more now than I ever have. He hasn’t changed a bit, but I have. He’s been my trainer to become relational with my Heavenly Papa. What blows my mind is how He uses my husband, who thinks I’m a crazy person 😂, to teach me things or the Holy Spirit speaks through him to me and he has no clue!!! It’s great!!!! That shows me He loves us all!!!

Remember, He loves you so much and will NEVER leave you!!! Trust in Him and talk to him. I do it all day, every day!! I pray this helps in some way. Sleep well sweet friend in Jesus!

Dear Lori,

i am Silke , from germany.

The Holy Spirit helped me through his word & through pictures to overcome.

He still does in a mighty way.

Follow the picture of the teaching ..

Sometimes i simple see a white cross in my spirit
Or a heart

I see a huge red heart over the people who hate me extremely ..

And of course , i take distance .

When i could not take distance the lord saved me by walking in his word .

HE WILL GUIDE YOU AND INFORM YOU .

Peace

Silke

Hello Sisters!!! I just read all the posts here and I am deeply touched and happy to be able to receive this in my email from BTV. Grahams mentorship and all of Team Brilliant has definitely helped me understand more than I can possibly share in a post.

I do want to share with a song if you don't know it already "GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY" By Crowder... I've listened to this song over and over sometimes and definitely every morning noon and night some days. ( GGA, I hope you'll find me praising Your Name no matter what comes) is just a sample of lyrics. I hope you will Google or youtube it Lori. All of you! It's very refreshing and exciting!
Love You All,
Donna Q

WOW! Lori it's been a real blessing to read about your journey and so glad the song blessed you.

All ladies here have blessed me as well and hope to be in touch also. I need the encouragement too☺

I couldn't agree more Donna! The people on this forum and in this ministry have been life-changing for me! I'm so grateful the Lord led me here to meet all you amazing humans!

We sharpen each other, right?! We encourage each other, we lift each other up and we constantly remind each other of our true identity in Christ!

I copied your email, I would love to get in touch with you and find out more about your story! I'm sure both of our stories can take up this entire forum so I look forward to getting in touch with you on a more personal level!

I'm East Coast so I'm actually getting ready for shut eye! Have a great night! Thanks for being on this forum and giving me one more amazing person to do life with!!! 🙏❤️
