About this episode

Graham Cooke discusses seeing circumstances from God's perspective and the nature of spiritual warfare.

What if you could see your circumstances the way God sees them — from above the battle, not beneath it? Graham Cooke continues the anatomy of a good fight with the story of Elisha at Dothan, where one man saw an army and another saw horses and chariots of fire. Discover why living in the presence of God is the first aspect of warfare, why the kingdom's odds make this not a fair fight, and what it means to develop a mindset centered on majesty. Key Scriptures: + 2 Kings 6:16-17. "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them... And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." + 1 John 4:4. "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." + 1 John 5:4-5. "Whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith." + 1 John 4:17. "As He is, so also are we in this world." + Ephesians 2:6. "And raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Want to explore more? 📚 Browse Graham Cooke's books and…
