Partake in the Divine Nature, and Train as a Disciple

2 Peter 1:4 "(receiving God's great and precious promises) so that you may become partakers in the divine nature of God to be freed from the world accompanied by corrupt desires.

The ancient Roman 4-step prayer practice, Lectio Divina, or in English, Divine Reading, inspired the 5-step prayer practice used in Divine Discipleship: read, meditate, pray, contemplate, and discernment.

Adding the discipleship principles of the twenty Greek imperatives (commands) from Matthew's Sermon on the Mount to Lectio Divina set a new bar for training disciples.

The New Testament was originally written in first-century Greek(koine Greek), not to be confused with contemporary Greek. Koine Greek is a dead, unspoken language, however the reading and writing value is profoundly useful. English translations over the centuries have reduced some significant life-transforming properties which the original language intended. All Divine Discipleship content is taught from the original Greek New Testament.

Matthew 16:24 Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come behind Me, he must renounce himself, his cross must be raised, and he must imitate Me.

Training in Divine Discipleship will accomplish all three of these requirements.

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice.

Matthew 16:8 Upon this rock I will build My church.

Ekklesia is from the Greek New Testament which means, assembly, but in the English version, is translated, church. Jesus built His assembly on Peter’s rock-hard statement, that Jesus is the Anointed, the Son of the living God.

The assembly is a collection of flocks who train to imitate the Anointed One, the Son of the Living God.
