Joyfully Attacking Every Negative
A few months ago I heard Graham Cooke talk about “Joyfully attacking every negative that surrounded his life”. When there is a negative present, God has something else instead He’d like to give you. I loved this truth, so in my bold naivety I said, “YES, GOD, YES!. LET’S DO THIS!” not expecting it to […]

Learning to Climb a Mountain and Becoming a Warrior
The joy and confidence of learning to live as the Beloved of God has come to life for me as a member of TWC. It began with Graham’s message, “Living on a Higher Place”. In the teaching, Graham uses a metaphor about mountain climbing to draw the listener into the adventure of becoming everything God […]

Never The Same
When I first applied for The Warrior Commission, I was on the baby end of Christianity. I bounced from church to church, trying to find the right fit. I was looking for a church with grace, love, freedom and personal growth as a focus. I connected to the church I attend now, because it aligns […]

The Word Came, and the Bottom Dropped Out
I’ll never forget that weekend when I heard the Lord speak to me. I was at a business event when the Holy Spirit whispered to my heart, “The Sacred Woman.” I instinctively knew He was giving me an expanded vision for the business I was building. What I didn’t realize though, was that I was […]

The Art of Abiding
When I was little I had a recurring dream. When I was afraid in my dreams, I would run so fast that I began to climb an invisible staircase and feel a rush of safety and excitement at the same time. Last summer I was given a copy of Song of Songs, Divine Romance, The […]

Thanks Giving
In this season of Thanks, our minds are focused on Giving Thanks. For Family. Friends. Provision. Health. Church and God. I wonder, have you ever thought of Thanks as weapon? The most difficult time to give thanks is in seasons of challenging circumstances and situations. For me, the past couple of years have been the most […]

The Grapevine
God gave me a very practical vision of what my spiritual journey looked like as I was going to visit my daughter in Southern California. In order to go from the Valley where I live to where my daughter lives one must go through mountainous passes called the Grapevine that climbs from 400 feet to about 4200 […]

Growing in Truth
For a long time, I didn’t know what to do with passages like John 14:27 (let not your heart be troubled) and Hebrews 12:1,2 (fixing your eyes upon Jesus). I sensed that they were true but I wasn’t experiencing them and I didn’t know what to do. Then, starting with Graham’s teaching from Mind of […]

Aligning With Our Identity
I have always been a very quiet, somewhat socially awkward person. In fact, I have often felt this symbiotic relationship with turtles…spending most of my time with my head and arms hiding within a shell, only to occasionally pop my neck out. I have also always known, however, that this is the area of my […]

Forever Grateful
I have been a part of The Warrior Commission since it began in 2011. Little did I know at that time, this would be my life line in days ahead, as I journey though some difficult days with my family. God provided the tools I needed to navigate the path I found myself on and […]

Sharing our Victories
In The Warrior Commission, we are called to be “…a thorn in evil’s side, just as a spiritual warrior should be.” To “…see beyond the natural into a realm of the spirit where God lives.” (From Graham’s book: “Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior” Chapter 5 – Seeing Beyond the Natural Realm.) If your story is […]

Starting Points
Every night when I tuck her in and kiss goodnight, I whisper the same four things in her little ear: You are beautiful. You are strong. You are brave. And I love you. For six months, I whisper. And finally one day, when the hot tears stream again all over that math page she cannot […]

Turning Difficulties to Treasures
“We know that God allows in His wisdom what He can easily prevent by His power.” I’ve heard this quote spoken by Graham Cooke and have recited it myself when faced with hard situations. Many times we go through something difficult and wonder where God is and why He has allowed this to happen. When […]

Fearlessness
Most the time, we know how to recognize the obvious manifestations of fear – worry, anxiety, terror, fear of man, fear of the future, and so forth. But fear has other forms also, such as those of hesitancy, apprehension, and timidity. We may hold ourselves back from doing things that take courage and faith, and […]
-
Intimacy
Intimacy is significant in the process of my growing relationship with God. It is the place where I get to KNOW God. How He sees me, feels about me, and His heart and His nature are all revealed and discovered there. Intimacy, the thing God has most desired, is what the enemy has attempted to […]

Warriors Stoke the Atmosphere
From Graham’s book: “Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior”: “Warriors stoke the atmosphere. They inflame passion by the way they live their own lives. What you are in your own destiny you exhibit quite naturally. Warriors are unconscious models of a kingdom that is far above all principalities and powers.” When I first read this wonderful […]

Warriors Don’t React – They Respond
“Spiritual warriors do not react.” (Graham Cooke, Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior, p48) What a simple statement. One that required much retraining to understand. I joined TWC desiring to grow spiritually in a company of others who were committed to their own growth. I envisioned a Band of Brothers type atmosphere where members challenged and […]

Seeing The Way God Does
“Promises are realized by a people whose awareness of God is greater than their natural vision. Spiritual Warriors stand out in a crisis because they have insight into God’s Name and nature.” -Graham Cooke: The Way of the Warrior The ability to see the hand of God at work in difficult circumstances is a vital […]

Warriors Change Atmospheres
It’s Thursday afternoon and I am packing up to go home. For the last time. After many years at this workplace. I think about my first day, walking through the front door and saying to Father: I know I am supposed to be here, I have no idea why, give me SOMETHING. Then nothing. So, […]

Confidence Rooted in Christ
Earlier this week, I was sitting at my desk and asked the Lord to encourage my heart. Inside half an hour, three people independently messaged me these simple words: Keep your eyes fixed upon Jesus. I decided not to only receive the immediate encouragement that it was to me, but also to search out what […]

Stillness
Learning the art of stillness is a vital part of becoming a spiritual warrior. It’s where we learn to be enveloped in the confident strength of the Lord, trusting that He’s got this and we are tucked reassuringly in His embrace as He leads us. Stillness creates an atmosphere in our hearts where we can […]

Going Deeper
I was introduced to the teachings of Graham Cooke when I joined the Prayer Ministry Team at my home church in 2009. By 2012, I had many DVD’s and CD’s that Graham had available. I thought I kept hearing the Holy Spirit say, “Go deeper. There is more. There is more!” I did not understand […]
