Good morning glorious ones!

No matter how you look at it, when God’s ETERNAL LIFE contacts our spirits, it’s miraculous!  ETERNAL LIFE is God the Father’s nature and when we become a partaker of His divine nature, we become united with the Father. 

Jesus illustrates this perfectly in John 15:5.  He says,

  • “I am the vine and you are the branches.”

The life in the branches is a part of the life in the vine.  If every family member in this great nation could be founded on and were partakers of God’s divine nature, what a family we would be!  It would solve every economic problem and social issue that confronts us today! 

Every home would be a safe place.  There would be no divorces because when a man and a woman receive ETERNAL LIFE and let that life dominate them, each one lives for the other’s happiness.  The most amazing thing is that the old selfish Adamic nature is eliminated and God’s nature takes it’s place!

1 John 4:7-8 declares,

  • Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love.

This is the result of our new birth:  that we love one another.  If we don’t love, we’re not born of God.  This is God’s criteria! 

It should be obvious and evident as to whether a person is a child of God or not.  If he or she walks in love, they are a child of God.

When you know that you have God’s nature; know your priviledges in Christ Jesus; know the authority of the Name of Jesus; know that God’s strength is yours; and that God’s ability and wisdom are yours, you can’t be a failure!  No matter what circumstances you are going through, you will rise above them all!

Be encouraged with this amazing Word of God from Isaiah 41:10 – Think about it in the morning before you start your day:

  • “Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

He is our Father-God!  No Father has ever loved His children like He loves you and me.  We all have a place in the Father’s love and in the Father’s dreams.  He cares for you affectionately and watchfully.  You are His prized possessions!  The apple of His eye!  His mighty heroes!

Walking in God’s ETERNAL LIFE,
