(You Now Share In The Divine Life And Nature)
TO THE BIBLE: 2 Peter 1:3-4
“…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, 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.”
LET’S TALK
From the moment you were born again, you became a sharer of God’s divine nature. God is not living that extraordinary life all by Himself; He’s made you an associate of the God-kind, a participator in the God-life, the divine experience.
You’re now a carrier of the God-life. What a blessed reality! This means that the works of darkness can’t, and shouldn’t, be a part of your experience because you live the transcendent life.
When you declared the Lordship of Jesus over your life, you became a new creation and superior to Satan; the God-life was imparted into your spirit! Now you’re in the light, catapulted into the Kingdom of His dear Son.
Satan no longer has a right over your life; though he may try to manoeuvre or deceive you, he’s not a factor. He’s already defeated. Don’t be concerned about his futile manipulations; walk in the dominion and power of the Spirit, unafraid of anything.
Consider the Apostle Paul; he was so conscious of the God-life in him, He didn’t have to pray when a poisonous viper bit him. The onlookers expected him to drop dead, but they called him a god when they saw that he was uninfected (Acts 28:1-6).
This happened for Paul because of his consciousness of the God-life in him. He knew he had eternal life, the impregnable and “uninfectable” life of God.
You’ve been transmuted with the life of God, into Christ; transfigured in spirit into the image and likeness of the Son of God! 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
You’re different. The human life with which you were born by your parents has been supplanted by the supernatural life of God.

1 John 5:11-12
Speak:
I’m an associate of the God-kind; I function from the place of advantage, victory, dominion, and power because I’m born of God and conscious of His life in me. I’m guided and propelled by His divine wisdom to do His will and fulfil my destiny in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
