“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
2 Peter 1:4(KJV)
The word nature in our opening scripture is from the Greek word 'phusis' which also means natural inclination. This means that our opening scripture is letting us see that we share in the ability to live naturally in God's realm.
Therefore being a partaker of the divine nature makes it possible for us to live like our Father God naturally. So just as God will not lie you ought not to lie, because what is in God is inside of you, you have the same native constitution like God. It ought not to be a struggle for you to live right as a child of God because it is your nature.
You have escaped the corruption that is in the world. The word corruption used here refers to moral decay. In other words you have escaped the moral decay in the world because of your participation in the divine nature; where you are not struggling with sin, poverty or disease.
To live in this realm of God you have to soak yourself with the Word of God; listening to the Word of God and keeping your mind fixed on the Word consistently.
CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus I declare that I am a partaker of the divine nature. I share in the ability to live like my Father naturally. I have escaped the corruption in the world because I am a partaker of the divine nature. I have dominion over satan, sin, sickness, weakness, disease, fear, death and hell in Jesus Name.

Doing the word
