Divinely Natural
The realm of darkness is cheap and runs on a very tight budget centered around lack. One of its favorite tools is intimidation, where it dispatches a lying, deceiving spirit to fool people into giving up. This way, darkness can gain territory without incurring expenses.
To their chagrin, 2 Peter 1:4 states that we have become partakers in “the divine nature.” Of course, this refers to Jesus' nature in which we've been fully immersed. Because our nature is Jesus' nature, darkness is infuriated that we reflect the One they couldn't keep down.
Beauty corresponds to truth. Our physical bodies are a constant reminder to Satan of the image of God. For that very reason, the enemy has chosen the human body as one of his major arenas of battle because it's God's crowning creative genius. You're the best idea God ever had.
Our eyes and ears remind the enemy that we can see and hear God. This is why Satan seeks to cause blindness and deafness both physically and spiritually. We have been given a new spiritual nature, not a new logical nature. It is now natural to hope, and unnatural to be skeptical. Belief is natural. Unbelief is foreign.
Unlike God, Satan cannot create. He can only distort and twist that which has been created. One of the highest expressions of our new nature in Christ is creativity. Every time we create, it's an attack on the domain of darkness, which has no creative ability. To say we are not creative is absurd.
We are one with Christ. As we dwell in His nature, His fullness makes us complete and brings us into a place of authority and rule over the enemy.
New nature. New life. Divinely natural living.
Speak Up: Declaration
I declare that I am the best idea God ever had. My nature is His nature. I choose hope and reject skepticism. I am a believer, and I reject unbelief. I can hear God and I can see God. I declare health over my body, for it is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My body exists because love exists.
I cannot help but be creative, for the Creator’s nature has been shared with me. God’s fullness has completed me and His authority has commissioned me. I destroy the works of the devil.

About this Plan
Through the finished work of Christ, we have been fused to the very life, power, and nature of Christ. Divinity has found a home in humanity. We have become the architecture for the Spirit of God to work in and through us. What an amazing reality, which has opened up the revelation of rest, the gold of being bold, and an entirely different operating system with the nature of Christ. Be encouraged to live a life from a different vantage point and be empowered to walk in a new level of boldness.
