Grace Notes - 2 Peter 1 v 3

"According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue."

2 Peter 1:3

Andrew Wommack explains that God has already given us everything we need to live a victorious Christian life. We just have to believe it and change the way we view the grace of God.

“This verse says that God’s divine power has (past tense) already given to us all things. Most people want God to just come with His power from the outside, in. They pray, “Oh Lord, stretch forth Your mighty hand and touch me!” They’re looking for God to send a spiritual bolt of lightning to hit them and then—BOOM—they’re healed, prospered, delivered, or whatever they need. However, this scripture says that all things that pertain to life and godliness come through the knowledge of God. This includes healing, prosperity, deliverance, joy, peace, success in business, good relationships, and anything else. Everything that pertains to life and godliness comes through the knowledge of God. This means that the born again Christian already has the peace of God in their spirit. As they renew their mind to who they are and what they have in Christ, they draw that peace out into their experience.

The dominant experience of your life is a reflection of the way you are thinking on the inside. (Proverbs 23:7.) Instead of looking for a change to take place externally in everybody and everything else around you, the first thing you need to do is recognize that change begins on the inside of you. This occurs according to the knowledge that you have of God.”
