Having spent my best 30 years in the Recovery, I actually heard very little exhortation and ministry to lay hold of all the great and precious promises of God.
Our birthright as sons of God enables us to be sanctified by His Spirit, partaking of His own holy and divine nature. This is true. The Bible, however, in any translation we may have, does not say that "
we become god in nature." This was Lee's so-called "high peak" assertion, and I don't accept it any more, for all the reasons I listed.
