Partakers of the Divine Nature and the Development of the Divine Life and the Divine Nature for a Rich Entrance into the Eternal Kingdom

I am sure that I am not the only one who prepares a prophesy, thinks it s OK to share and then gets to the meeting and then despises it! Or at least despises it to the point of not being able to stand up and share it. Since, I could not get myself up out of my chair (for the up-teen time) I will post my portion on the internet for whoever wants to read.

First God created man, not man-kind but God-kind with His image and likeness. Through regeneration we are made God-man kind with His life and nature. As God-man kind we are the species of God. 2 Peter 1:4 says "Through which He has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption which is in the world by lust."

To partake means to take or have a part or share along with others; to participate; to receive, take, or have a share or portion; to take or have a part in; to share.

So for us to partake of the divine nature is to have a part, a share or a participation in the divine nature. And as I. D. says: A partaker of the divine nature is one who enjoys the divine nature and participates in the divine nature. To partake of the divine nature is to enjoy what God is; to be a partaker of the riches, the elements, and the constituents of God's being. As children of God we have the right to partake of and enjoy the divine nature. And moreover it is our need for this is how we escape the corruption which is in the world by lust. As we enjoy the Father's divine nature we are supplied to escape the world. But we have to escape the world to further partake of the divine nature. We partake to escape and we escape to partake. As we continue in this cycle we have the development and maturity of the divine life with in us. From the LS of 2 Peter, on Day 2: In partaking of the divine nature and in the enjoyment of all that God is, all the riches of the divine nature will be fully developed, as described in 1:5-7. "And for this very reason also, adding all diligence, supply bountifully in your faith virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, endurance; and in endurance, godliness; and in godliness, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, love." This is the development of the divine life and the divine nature for our rich entrance in to the eternal kingdom.

The Lord Loves Me

In the past month I have gone from London (Jan 8th), to Dallas, to Baton Rouge, to Denver. So I am in Denver until Feb 8th which makes 2 countries, 2 states and 3 cities in on month. I guess that is not world wind traveling, but when you can not figure out how to answer the question where are you from? Well. And where am I?

So that is the question that maybe I will have the answer to in a week's time. Right now I am enjoying my hospitality and seeing what it would be like to serve on a brand new team with 3 brothers.

I think that the Lord must really love me because I can think of no other way for me to be here than the path I've traveled. Austin to Baton Rouge to the Emigration Training to London to Denver? Even if this is not my current destination it is a big thing for me to even be here considering it. A year ago I would not even be open to the thought of visiting a locality by myself, where I knew no one and would be the only sister serving with 3 brothers. Well, the Lord must love me.

Big plus: snow! It was supposed to be only a dusting, but it was quite a bit more than that. It started before we left for the prayer meeting, by the time we came out of the meeting there was about 2 " piled on the cars. All for me I think. They kept saying Denver does not get that much snow, it all falls on the mountains.
