Graham Cooke: The Nature of God

Many of us have listened to the audio recording of Graham Cooke declaring the Nature of God. A dear sister reminded me of it in an email this evening. I found the transcript that a brother of ours had tirelessly and diligently transcribed. I would love to post the whole document, but it's 6 pages in Word. So, I had to choose a small excerpt. It's encouraged me. I hope it encourages you too.

Our god is consistent

But he’s also unpredictable

You never know what God is going to do next.

You always know what he’s going to be like

You never know what he’s going to do.

And God has called you to see the invisible and do the impossible.

God has not called you to do the things that you can do

He’s called you to do the things that you will never be able to do in a million years

You’re not able to do what god has called you to do

Only he can do it.

But he’s called you to live in his faithfulness

He’s called you to live in his consistency

That he will come and do all the things that need to be done

So beloved, you cannot find security in what God is doing

Because God commits you to the impossible

He asks you to see the invisible

He calls you to do the outrageous.

There is no security in that place.

There is no security in what God is doing

There is only security in who God is.

He ends with this:

I know you are going to do something today

I just want to be alive to you

So I can see it

Wait for it

Speak it out

Live in it

Experience it

Worship you in it

Glorify your name in it.

There are no good days anymore

No bad days

Just days of grace, eh?

That’s agreed

Days of grace.

And the grace of God is going to come

And bring with it the nature of god

That you might know him

That you might know him

That you might know him

And rest in him

And live in him

And move in him

Worship him

Represent him.

So, may we go on in God's nature today. The encouragement I received from my dear sister was that there are days of grace. Not good days or bad days, but days of Grace. May that be real to us all today!
