Good morning my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. It is Carrie Green

once again. I'm here to help you and help me get our minds aligned with the truth of God

them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that

is in the world because of sinful desire.

Right now there's quite a bit to unpack here but let's just try and simplify it

all right? Jesus has given us the privilege of becoming a partaker in the divine nature.

We talked a little bit in the last episode about what it means to partake of something.
