Participants of the Light.

2 Peter 1: 3-4

because his divine power has given us all the things that pertain to life and piety, through the knowledge of the one who has called us through his glory and virtue, 4 through which they have given us the precious and great promises , so that through them they can become participants of the divine nature, after having escaped the corruption that exists in the world because of concupiscence.

God wants us to participate in his nature in which one continuously lives in victory. As I mentioned in previous publications, God has already provided us with all the natural and spiritual things we need in heavenly places.

The word "participant" means one that participates, that shares, partner. Then, when we participate in the divine nature, we are in partnership with God and, therefore, we will never fail. God wants an intimate communion and union, even physical, as that of the spouses in marriage. Knowledge by revelation offers man the vehicle to enter into communion and intimacy, with the divine nature.

1 John 1: 6-7

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

The root of the word "light" in Hebrew is "prosperity", therefore, if we walk in the light, we can walk in prosperity, and if we do not walk in prosperity it is because we have not yet had the complete revelation of light and the providence of God.

When we are not successful in relationships, it means that we are walking in the darkness of the adamic man because in Christ there are no conflicts, in Christ there is love and when we walk with him in the light, even our relationships are blessed.

If we walk in the light of the revelation of the Word of God, we do not hide our mistakes, we do not have problems asking for forgiveness and we assume our responsibilities, this makes the Blood of Jesus purify us of our sins.

There are several levels of communion with God because the level of communion depends on the level of maturity. The more we grow spiritually, the more God can reveal to us the secrets of his heart.

John 15: 7-8

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask what you want and it will be done to you. 8 In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and thus you will be my disciples.

God has not set limits to our questions, we are the ones who must trust Him and ask Him for everything we need. He wants us to bear much fruit and that is why we see the measure of how much we are disciples. When we do not bear fruit it means that we are undisciplined, but if we are disciplined, we will be useful in the service of our God.

Through the revelation of His Word, we will be changed and transformed to the point of becoming one and fully identify with Him. If we have the same Spirit of the Father we also have the same desires, the same purposes, the same goals to achieve and, therefore, we will never enter into conflict with Him.

Sort:  

The light that brightens the darkness, every thing that has hidden because of the light reveals for people to see. We must look for light that endures and shine for everybody always, and that the light of the-Jesus Christ.

Amen brother, that is the enduring light that ends all darkness
