We Have All We Need

2 Peter 1:3, from the New American Standard Bible says, "Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence."

This Scripture has been on my mind and heart for a few days now. I don't pretend to have all understanding about it, but let me share with you what I have been hearing in my Spirit.

This whole thing starts with "...His divine power...". Not mine. Not yours. HIS. You and I haven't worked our way into anything that has been given to us by HIS Spirit. It is by HIS Spirit we have what we have from HIM. I heard a minister says many years ago, "If you can work to get it, you will take the credit!" That is why God in HIS wisdom removed you and I from the equation of being able to work to get ANYTHING from HIM! If I can work in my self to get it, I can, and usually will, take the credit for it.

"...has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness...". This is really what has been stirring in me for the last few days. God has ALREADY granted, not just given, us EVERYTHING You and I need! "Everything pertaining to life and godliness!!! WE DON'T LACK ANYTHING!!! He isn't waiting to give the things we need for us to live victoriously, He has ALREADY given EVERYTHING to us! He gave it to us when we received the indwelling Christ into our lives. He isn't waiting for you and I to ask for these things before we get them. HE has made a deposit into you and I. That deposit is called, "Christ in you, the hope of glory."(Col. 1:27) God wants you and I to began to make withdraws on that account to accomplish what HE wants from us. HE knew we would need all these things before we did and that is why HE made that deposit from the beginning! Some of us have rarely made withdraws on that account, so we sit around and beg for something we already have access to. CHRIST IN YOU!!!

As we continue in this walk of relationship with Christ, we learn HIM and HIS ways. The "true knowledge of Him".

Start making withdraws from that account that is in you! That account NEVER has a zero or negative balance!!! You have everything you need ALREADY! CHRIST IN YOU!!!

God in HIS grace and mercy has already granted, you and I EVERYTHING we need to live this life and to live in godliness!!! Before we even knew we needed it. It came in the form of CHRIST!

So, we literally have EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR LIFE AND GODLINESS ALREADY AT OUR ACCESS!!!

So, BOLDLY, start making withdraws!!!
