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.

Elijah #14

Elisha gets a double portion of Elijah's effectiveness (2Ki 2:9-15). Elijah confronts Ahab for killing Naboth to take his vineyard (1Ki 21:1-29). Elijah illustrates the difficulty in the life of a believer. A prophet was to take a stand against evil. God's plan elevated a prophet over a king -- spiritual over political. Elijah believed the word of the Lord enough to die for it. Ahab could have killed him. Ahab is as guilty as his wife. Ahab repented, but the Lord followed through on the manner of the deaths of Ahab and Jezebel. Elijah confronts Ahaziah when he seeks guidance from an idol (2Ki 1:1-4, 1Co 10:20). Ahaziah sends men to get Elijah three times (2Ki 1:5-15). The third captain humbled himself and was spared and Elijah confirms God's word about Ahaziah (2Ki 1:15-17). Elijah fulfilled his purpose. He bought time for people. Elisha and Elijah goes to the cities of the schools of the prophets before the chariot of fire comes to get Elijah (2Ki 2:1-15).

Elijah's life shows us the keys to spiritual power: the power of God's Word faith prayer revival and failure.
