RE: Open Church: where all are welcomed

I've been meditating on this text in 2 Peter 1:3-4 - feeling quite empowered to do all that is in front of me well...

"3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."

Great passage. Thanks for sharing.

its rocking my reality!

In what way? Would love to hear your insights on the passage and what God has been showing you.

So our experiences are real - and the things coming at us are real - however the perception we carry (I carry) is often contorted by fear, past experiences, others opinions etc...
Right now specifically with parenting my kids are experiencing some real challenges that I have minimal understanding in. This passage has been a baseline for me in declaring that I have everything I need to parent well in my relationship with Holy Spirit. As I declare that/believe that in increasing measure - I am able to engage these challenging situations not with fear/insecurity but in confidence that not only is God with me, but He will give me all that I need exactly when I need it.

It's gone in tandem with the Lord's Prayer - when Jesus tells us to pray on earth as it is in heaven. Really an incredible text if you think about what Jesus' expectations are in praying that. We actually are supposed to bring the reality of the joy/love/peace of heaven into everyone of our life experiences...

what do you think?

Very deep verses this @breakthrough, much to learn from it.
