Dear Friends,
Greetings in the wonderful Name of Jesus, Who has gifted us with His Divine Nature!
“Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by His divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him Who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness.” 2 Peter 1:3 (TPT).
We celebrated that “glorious manifestation of His goodness” last month when we celebrated Easter or Resurrection Day! The day that we accepted Jesus into our hearts and lives we also received His Divine nature, His Divine power! Yet, to partake of His Divine nature, it has to be cultivated in our lives. In other words, we must grow in our knowledge of Jesus! As long as we’re on this earth we should be growing in our knowledge of Him!
I remember growing up loving God. I just knew He was my heavenly Father and I loved Him with a powerful love. I knew Jesus was His Son. He was the Baby Jesus in the manger Who grew up and died on the cross to save me. That was as far as my little mind could understand.
As I grew older, I knew I needed more and asked Jesus into my heart. That experience caused a hunger to come into my life to know Jesus more. That led me to receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and I have never been the same. This hunger for more of Him is always in me. It was always a relationship with Jesus, my Savior, that I was longing for. That is the most wonderful relationship we can ever experience!
As we grow in the knowledge of Jesus and come into His rest we become partakers of His Divine nature. Our spirit is being cultivated to trust Him and growing to become like Him. The scripture says we’ve already been given all things pertaining to life and godliness so all things pertaining to life and godliness grow in us by knowing Jesus.
I began to realize that by taking a particular scripture that connects with what I’m going through and speaking it out loud in the face of the circumstance brings victory. Isaiah 55:11 promises us, “The Word that I speak does not return to Me unfulfilled. My Word performs My purpose and fulfills the mission I sent it out to accomplish.” (TPT).
There is a building up or cultivating going on in our spirits as we continue to speak His Word over our circumstances. It has an accumulative effect on our spirit, soul and body. John tells us in 3 John 1:2 (AMP), “Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health (physically), just as I know your soul prospers spiritually.”
It pleases our heavenly Father when we seek the Word as our daily bread. Matthew 6:33 (AMPC) promises: Seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.” According to Luke 12:32 (AMPC) tells us, “Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom!”
It is amazing when we take our hands off of a situation entrusting it to the Lord, laying it at His feet and declaring His lordship over our lives. A weight is lifted off of our shoulders and we are able to walk in peace knowing Jesus is taking care of us! At that point we are abiding in His kingdom and partaking of His divine nature!
Robert Paul and I bless each one of you as we all strive to come into the kingdom-rest of Jesus and learn to be partakers of His divine nature. As always, thank you for your prayers, love and support. May God bless all that you put your hands to in His Name!
Our love,
Robert Paul and Debbie

Psalm 91 (NASB)
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!"
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper,
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not approach you.
You will only look on with your eyes,
And see the recompense of the wicked.
For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the most high, your dwelling place.
No evil will befall you.
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
"Because He has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him,
And let him behold My salvation."
