Remember that by these exceeding great and precious promises we might be partakers of His divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in this world through lust. We have to use the promises written in the Word of God, speaking them and standing on them to escape. Please know there is Victory in Jesus! His Word, His promises cause us to win. In a world ruled by the devil , filled with corruption and hate we can escape by using the words written in the Bible. This is how I have lived for years so I know it works. Remember in the Garden that God's purpose for the man & woman was to follow His words, He would train them and teach them so they could be successful. Well there is no difference from then until now, God wants us standing on His Word. Jesus did. He would say to the devil " it is written", Jesus won and we should be winning in every battle. Battles aren't fun but the victory is so fun!
