Freedom from Difficult Expectations

Published: Sept. 8, 2021, noon

In this message, we\u2019re engaged to reflect and change our lens. Instead of having expectations of difficulty and stress in areas we need to grow, Graham reveals how our expectation can shift as we behold the truth of the new man in Jesus correctly.\xa0

What before seemed like inevitable hardships and difficulty can instead be traded for Jesus\u2019s invitation to \u201cfind rest for our souls, because His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.\u201d

Graham poses some freeing thoughts:\xa0

  • What if God put you into Christ so that your first encounter is always with the one who has overcome the world? What if that was your primary expectation?
  • What if mindsets of expecting hardship and difficulty are from the old man, and the Holy Spirit has encounters for you that will reframe such thinking?

This message originates from letter 7 of Graham\u2019s renowned book, \u201cThe Nature of Freedom.\u201d If you haven\u2019t read it yet, I encourage you to get a copy, or download the audiobook, found here.\xa0

Graham also created a video series on BTV based on the letters in this book. This one is titled \u201cFreedom from Difficult Expectations\u201d, found under the series \u201cGet Unstuck and Live a Lifestyle of Encounter,\u201d on BTV.
