Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

Ephesians #49

Ephesians #49

"Stand" in Greek mean "hold your ground" comes from the Roman army -- "be empowered in the Lord" (Eph 6:10-20). We do this by yielding to the power of the Spirit (Rom 6:1-23). Putting on the "Armor of God" is the means of receiving His strength -- putting on Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, Word of God. The belt of absolute truth only comes through the word of God (2Ti 2:15). The breastplate of imputed righteousness covers our vitals is also a life of fellowship and obedience (1Jo 1:7). Sandals of the gospel of peace is firm footing (gaining skill in the defense of the gospel). Take up the shield of faith is comprised of the promises of God (Phi 4:6-7). The helmet of salvation -- the "hope (absolute conviction) of salvation" (1Th 5:8). Pick up the sword of the Spirit; it's the Spirit's sword; only God can wield it. The word - "rhema" of God is Greek for "specific utterances". Praying always with all types of prayer in the Spirit. Pray for boldness (Eph 6:19-20).
