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.

Life of Moses #7

Psa 82:1 refers to God stepping into the congregation of the gods (Satan and his demons). God's purpose in the plagues is redemptive (Exo 9:16, Exo 7:5). False God's must be exposed. People attribute blessings to their false gods. When we fail to attribute blessings to God, we are withholding credit and are worshipping something else. Evil generations harden their hearts with signs and miracles (Exo 7:1-25). Jews rejected Jesus' signs. The evidence of faithfulness is obedience. Growth is not complete until the truth learned is applied. Serpent represents wisdom of Satan verses the wisdom of God. Bronze serpent serpent represents Christ (Num 21:9). Pharaoh worshiped the Nile and washed in it every morning for his "dose of deity" (Gen 7:14-25, Rom 1:21). In order to redeem some there must be judgement on others. The same sun that melts the wax hardens the clay; it all depends upon the medium. The plagues make Pharaoh harden his own heart (Exo 8:1-32). Pharaoh is disingenuous proclaiming "tomorrow" regarding letting the Jews go (Exo 8:10, Exo 8:22, 2Pe 2:9). The Lord knows how to deliver us out of temptation. God is able to take us through anything. Shepards were an abomination to Egyptians as were lambs (Exo 8:26, Gen 43:32, Gen 46:34).

After 40 years in the Egyptian palace then 40 years in the desert then 40 years leading Israel to their land Moses' life can actually teach us about living in the time we live.
