When you are going through something awful, there is a landing place for you inside the heart of God. During those desperate times you need to think of something beautiful; and poetry is an expression of beauty, coming directly out of what you see and feel in your life. That expression, when partnered with the Lord, can help you to stay present in your new man mindset and not give way to your old nature.
In this episode we examine how we interact with the poetic in God’s heart. As with the earlier episodes in this series, Graham continues to share a side of himself rarely seen in public. With spontaneity and laughter, he shares poetry that he’s written with the Lord, and how doing so has caused a dramatic shift in the intimacy and closeness he’s felt with the Father over the last forty plus years as a Believer.

and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,

They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
God has designated a piece of territory for all of us, and life in the spirit is about standing in that new territory and proclaiming His promises over your life.
Promises are like currency in the Kingdom, and when God gives you a promise, everything in Him is behind that word, pushing it towa...
