Promises already given

2 Peter 1:2-4 Thursday, May 12, 2011 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

What is all we need for a Godly life?

What are His precious Promises?

What does a divine nature look like?

The scripture text has addressed several different issues, or shall I say questions have been answered by this text alone found in 2 Peter.What is all we need for a Godly life? Through the wisdom OF the Word and the Knowledge of Jesus the Messiah we have been given "divine power" to live a Godly life. If you look it up in the dictionary it would read "heavenly Power". So our Father has promised to give all the powers in heaven to live a godly life if we choose to receive it...Amen

A divine nature would look like Jesus, a "heavenly nature" . For me all though it is promised it is still difficult for me to operate in the fruits of the spirit all the time. Goodness, kindness, love, patience, faith, hope, and self control. Some bibles call patience the fruit of loooonnnngggg Suffering. What is so funny about that is I should have plenty of patience because I believe I have suffered long....many different times so that patience could have it's perfect work. Everyday I have a choice to operate in His Power or in my own. Some of my nature looks like worry, discontentment, ungrateful, selfishness, controlling, and anger....just to name of few. What I am learning is it is my choice because all the power from the Heavenly realm has already been given to me if I choose to use it. Wow this is totally the Father's Nature to give us everything we would ever need, and then give us the free will to choose  weather we live a Natural life, or if we live a "Super Natural Life" with the arsenal of Heaven at our disposal...In Jesus we live today
