Divine Power unto Divine Nature (2 Peter 1:3-4)

Part of the Spiritual Maturity series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

Are you anchored in Christ? Is the foundation of your soul built upon who he is and what he has done for you?

I want you to walk in the truth of who Jesus is and not be swayed from him. I desire that our lives reflect the person of Jesus no matter what is going on around us.

What happens we you are hit with discouragement?
Let me say that the goal of the devil is one thing: to dishearten us. This means to depress or to ruin one’s hope.

But as our passage declares to us: WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN DIVINE POWER THAT SUPPLIES EVERYTHING WE NEED TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE THROUGH OUR KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS. JESUS HAS CALLED US BY HIS GLORY AND GOODNESS.

THROUGH THIS CALLING BY HIS GLORY AND GOODNESS WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN SOMETHING. THIS SOMETHING EMPOWERS US TO PARTICIPATE IN HIS DIVINE NATURE.
THIS SOMETHING IS THE LIFE-GIVING QUICKENING OF EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES OF HIS WORD. THESE GOD INSPIRED VERSES OF SCRIPTURE THAT SPEAK LIFE INTO US NOT ONLY SUSTAIN US BY HELPING US BECOME MORE LIKE JESUS, BUT IN FACT KEEP US IN HIM.

SO, HOW DO YOU OVERCOME SOMETHING DESIGNED TO DISHEARTEN YOU?
YOU GET YOUR HEART BACK WITH LIFE GIVING WORD WHISPERED INTO YOUR SPIRIT BY THE DIVINE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU.

ARE YOU TAKING TIME TO HEAR THE LIFE-GIVING WHISPER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVING YOU POWER OF PARTICIPATE IN HIS DIVINE NATURE?
