We begin 2 Peter 1 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today! Look at verse 2:
2 May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal,]precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Notice that all of these wonderful blessings contained in that one verse come to US, multiplied, through the knowlege of God and of our Lord Jesus! We HAVE a BETTER Covenant with God than the Israelites did because WE have GOD INSIDE! WE have the better promises! BUT, without the KNOWLEDGE of who we are - IN HIM, and what we have - IN HIM, and what we can do - IN HIM, we cannot walk in all that God has prepared for US from before the foundation of the world, that WE should walk in them! Let's make whatever adjustments that each of us must make in order to walk in the fullness of HIS plan for US! AMEN! Now look at verses 3-4:
3 For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). 4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.
GOD's divine power has already bestowed on us ALL things that are necessary for us to walk in HIS LIFE, and LIGHT and POWER! Those exceeding great promises are given so that WE may be the LIGHTS in our own areas of the world! The world may appear to be so dark right now, but GOD's LIGHT is shining all over this earth, through His people who are on fire, and staying on fire, for the things of God! He has been waiting for such a time as this, when the knnowledge of the Glory of the Lord covers the earth as the waters cover the sea! AMEN! We are all liginv in the very most exciting time to be alive on planet earth! Let's be about OUR FATHER's business and keep that fire roaring! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Light Will Shine":
Shalom in Him!
