We are to be partakers of HIS Divine Nature!
Do you believe we are manifested Sons and Daughters of GOD?
It is written by The Beloved Disciple in John chapter 1:
12 But those who embraced Him (Jesus, the True Light) and took hold of His Name He gave authority to become the children (Sons and Daughters) of God!
Once we received Christ, what should be our highest priority? To mature in Christ and walk in His authority, to become Christlike. You and I determine our own progress toward becoming mature in Christ.
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 1:
2 Grace (enablement) and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Our Lord,
3 as His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to Life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by glory and virtue,
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Lust leads to corruption. Promises lead to Divine Nature. The Promised Land in the Old Testament was an inheritance of geography. Now, we are given promises of transformational miracles such as jobs, healings, and abundance in all areas affecting our lives through which we are partakers of HIS Divine Nature. We access Heaven’s resources to bring forth fruitfulness on the earth.
When you experience fulfillment of a promise, it’s never just GOD doing something for you, HE’S also doing something in you. In Acts chapter 3, the lame man gets healed through Peter’s words and actions. He’s walking (physically healed), he’s leaping (emotionally healed), he’s praising GOD (spiritually healed). His understanding of Who GOD is has ascended to a higher level. The promise, the fulfillment was a miracle, but the lame man was healed and transformed emotionally and spiritually. Peter wrote about what he had experienced firsthand. The lame man became a partaker of Divine Nature.
As we manifest Heaven on earth, we ascend to a higher level of being a partaker in HIS Divine Nature. The fulfillment of promise gives us access to live at a level in grace that we did not have before the miracle.
When we experience or see a miracle before us, our faith is positively affected. Any unbelief within us dissipates. Our boldness increases. We are now ready for the next miracle to manifest. You start thinking differently, there is nobody outside GOD’S Intent to experience HIM. There is nobody outside HIS reach. The lame man had been crippled from birth and was without hope. Suddenly, his life was full of hope.
We are to be agents of change on behalf of The Kingdom. How are we to do this? Peter continues:
5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, and to goodness add understanding,
6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control, and to self-control add patient endurance, and to patient endurance add Godliness,
7 and to Godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters, and to mercy toward others add unending Love.
8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately.
Peter provides us the path to fruitfulness. Those who do not devote themselves to maturing in Christ, are said to be blind:
9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.
10 For this reason, Beloved ones, be eager to confirm and validate that God has invited you to salvation and claimed you as his own. If you do these things, you will never stumble.
As we mature in Christ:
11 As a result, the Kingdom’s Gates will open wide to you as God choreographs your triumphant entrance into the Eternal Kingdom of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.
When the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation comes on you to know about Him, it creates in you a capacity for fruitfulness that you didn’t have otherwise. The knowledge of His Nature creates in you an ability of fruitfulness that you didn’t have otherwise.
HIS Promises take us to manifesting His Divine Nature!
