The Recipe

January 3, 2012

“God gave us His wonderful and powerful promises, so that as a result, we will share in His divine nature.” (II Peter 1:4)
..................... I like to cook and I have a cabinet full of recipe books. I haven’t tried all the recipes in all of those books but I have found if I want a recipe to turn-out like it should, I must follow it explicitly. God has given us the recipe to the most glorious “dish” that if followed and digested will be a life changing experience and the most glorious results that could ever be imagined. The name of The Recipe is, “Sharing in God’s Divine Nature.” The secret of success to His Recipe is to follow it explicitly. This Recipe is simple but hard - simple instructions but hard to follow. .......................

“Sharing in God’s Divine Nature”
(Authored and Created and Submitted to us by God the Father)

You don’t have to heat your “oven of life,” it seems to always be hot enough to bake this Recipe.

One completely committed life (This is hard because the flesh doesn’t want to commit to God.)

Add: a life of obedience to God’s Word (This is also hard because our old nature doesn’t want to obey.)

One Day-at-a-time of Trusting in God’s wonderful and powerful promises. (This is also hard because our old nature wants to trust in “self.”)

One large cup of daily confessions (This is also hard because our old nature is prideful and doesn’t want to admit our sins.) When confessions are blended in well with the other ingredients it makes a wonderfully humble consistency. God loves humility.

After mixing and blending well, pour all these ingredients in a prepared and holy vessel and bake in God’s Life-oven of Joys and tribulations. Bake a lifetime. If you follow these instructions explicitly you will experience and enjoy God’s Divine Nature (even while it is baking).

Bon Appetit!!

“Come and Dine”
(C.B. Widmeyer)

Jesus has a table spread where the saints of God are fed,
He invites His chosen people, “Come and dine.”
With His manna He doth feed and supplies our every need;
O ‘tis sweet to sup with Jesus all the time!

“Come and dine,” the Master calleth, “come and dine,”
You may feast at Jesus table all the time;
He who fed the multitude, turned the water into wine,
To the hungry calleth now, “Come and dine.”
