The God DNA
Manage episode 380749015 series 3280086
While we were still condemned, sinners, and alienated from God, in His mercy, God sent His Son to redeem us from our wretched condition and elevate us to a glorious position. Today, Prophet Hari is reintroducing us to our inherent God-ordained design.
In 2 Peter 1:4, we read about God’s promises that enable us to partake in His divine nature. God has provided the means for us to fulfill and accomplish all that we are called to do.
Salvation means more than just being redeemed from something; it means being redeemed for a greater purpose. The goal is not only about making it to heaven; the invitation is to partake in the very nature of God through privilege and election. You are designed to understand God and to be transformed like Him here on earth.
Desire and design are distinctly different. Having a desire isn't enough if it doesn't align with your inherent design. Desires can be deceptive, leading people to operate outside of God's intended design, as seen in Romans 1:21. Desire is not proof of design. As a child of God, don't let desire lead you; rather, study God's design, which supersedes desire. God has equipped us with the design to partake in His divine nature through His promises. A word or promise is all that's needed, as we already possess the raw material. When God created Adam and Eve, He endowed within them the ability to function in a divine nature. When you receive salvation, God simply activates the system He has already built within you. You were created by God, for God! When God created man, He formed a triune being: body, soul, and spirit, with the soul serving as a powerful intermediary between the body and spirit.
Your rise or fall hinges on how you manage your soul. While both the flesh and spirit have their own designs and desires, the soul can align with either. Its direction is determined by your stewardship. If the flesh prevails, you are in control, but if the spirit dominates, it's God who reigns.Our likeness to God qualifies us for His divine nature; it is the God-DNA that fosters our fellowship with Him. When Jesus called the disciples to follow, He spoke to a part of their DNA that enabled them to respond and follow Him. Functioning in the divine nature requires fellowship with God. The serpent disrupted Adam and Eve's original design, causing them to be deprived of fellowship with God that nurtures the spirit. In the absence of this fellowship, the spirit weakens, leading to uncontrolled flesh and soul. However, when the spirit is thriving, it can govern the soul, providing it with structure and direction. As Christians, our central focus is friendship with God. When the spirit is connected to God, it feeds both the body and the soul.
Our body, soul, and spirit were made for God! Align and train your triune being to be completely yielded to God!
