three kinds of knowledge

part 1

1 timothy 6.20

science here means knowledge gnosis general knowledge intellectual ability everyday
knowledge
we are told to be careful of this that we can not base our lives on it

ephesians 3.14-19

the word know in v19 is ginosko

the knowledge here is the same as gnosis
God can give you gnosis
gnosis is a piece in all the knowledge available
God can give you a piece of knowledge concerning any subject
He created everything He can explain anything to you
people donot know this because they have never heard
when taught on a subject you are prepared for the manifestation
the love of christ is beyond science
the love of christ surpasses science
ginosko is revelation knowledge it is given to you it cannot come due to thinking
ginosko is an introduction into a kind of knowledge
ginosko is not for everyone
knowing God is ginosko
ginosko is given by the spirit
it takes you to another realm in life
ginosko is given when you are born again

1 corinthians 2.7

mystery means esoteric language

and we speak the wisdom of God
eido aido oida is seen in v11
where he says knoweth

when listening follow actively

aido is absolute knowledge the divine knowledge

knowledge that a man has that has become his posession he needs no futher
revelation it is something he has become aware of romans 8.28 that know id aido
a knowledge that is there regardless of the situation aido surpasses understanding
this knowledge gives you information on the inside
what you need for success is to know zoe
zoe is unconquerable makes God God
so now i am like him
zoe is inside me that is why the bible says in all these things we are more than
conquerers

john 8.32

Jesus here used the word ginosko

revelation without involvement can bring you frustration
1 timothy 4.1-4
seducing spirits are demons that lure people into false doctrines
here he is talking about sects there are people who know the truth
there is epiginosko unites one who knows something with what he knows
colosians 1.5-6

knew in v6 is epiginosko it allows one to know and it allows one to grow and this
is a revelation knowledge
revelation has different levels revelation is imparted to your spirit
the greater the revelation you have the more liberty you have
revelation takes you into the realms of relationships

the amount of revelations you have in life determines the kind of life you wll live
epiginosko is greater than ginosko
paul was greater because of the amount of revelations he had an abundance of
epiginosko

2 corinthians 8.9

philemon 1.6
the word acknowledging is epignosis it is full knowledge exact knowledge it is a
revelation but a revelation with participation
it brings you to a realm of understanding that gets you operating with the fullness
of God

colossians 1.9

during these times make complete notes on the messages then you shall pick topics
and meditate on them

part 2

Gods word builds me up His word is the builder

no matter what your life is like Gods word will build you
God can make me what He wants me to be it is His responsibility
His word will build me up and make me a success
His word will build me in every aspect of my life

romans 12.3

every man here refers to the saints

we must always know who the scripture is addressed to
dealt here means given
he says the measure not a measure
that means when everyone began they had the same amount of faith
what you do with your faith matters
you can therefore make your faith grow
you should make your faith grow
you should have strong and great faith

2 peter 1.1-
meditate on this chapter

knowledge in verse 2 means epignosis

you must live a life of excellence beauty glory
v4 i ought to be participating and being a part of the divine nature
i can have a better life
i live in the divine nature
v5* add to these
v1 we have obtained like precious faith it was given to us freely but v5 we must
add something to it to it
v8* teaches how to not be barren and unfruitful we see this from v5
add virtue to your faith
it is your responsibility
how do you do this
sometimes you must study the details of certain things in the word
as a babe in christ you can casually scroll through and understand it at the level
you can understand it at but:
as you grow in christ God starts taking you more seriously:
it matters what words you speak
it matters what words you hear
it matters how you reason
it matters what you think about the scriptures
as a babe you can pray however you want to and God will answer you
being in a position does not mean you have grown
if things still work for you besides them being wrong it simply means that God has
given you time to grow
after a while it will stop working and God will be saying stop feeding on milk He
would want you to grow
you only come to the Lord in the name of Jesus when you are a sinner being born
again after that you are in Him you can not come to Him any more as you are now in
Him
that is why the bible says strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and
evil.
when you live according to His standard you will have consistent results that donot
stop
so in v5 it says add to your faith virtue and you want to know what this means so
you start studying beneath the surface the bible says that i must study to show
myself approved of God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing
the word of truth
there is a difference the soul and spirit this is rightly dividing the word of
truth
in v5 the use of the word add implies that i already have something to add to
there are sometimes some words that should get your attention remember that all
scripture is given by the inspiration of God and that they are communicated to us
with words which the Holy Ghost teacheth meaning that the Holy Spirit carefully
chose the words to communicate divine thoughts to our spirits
so i must add to my faith virtue
so add is a very important word and it is my responsibility
so when God gives you an instruction fully understand the instruction so that you
can be sure when you are being obedient
when he says add to your faith virtue he meant epicarigo to supply lavishly to your
faith virtue everything is already in place it is all upto you
everything that i need to supply lavishly is already in me in christ Jesus what he
is actually telling me is to dig into the deep and bring them out because you need
to put them to work
remeber james said that faith without works is dead being alone so he is telling
you to put your works together with your faith the works being refered to here are
bring what is on the inside to the outside so the communication of my faith may
become effectual effective powerful result producing by the acknowledging epignosis
is used here it means exact knowledge complete knowledge full knowledge and
comprehension you have understood it you have taken ahold of it this is a
revelation that comes to you through meditation you start talking it and using it
through this meditation ginosko is turned into epignosis you have it and it can not
be taken away from you
it says that he has called us to glory and virtue meaning that inside me is the
glory of God inside me is that virtue that life of virtue
it says add to your faith virtue and what is virtue it is moral excellence and
moral excellence here it says that it is dependant on moral energy so it is a work
of the spirit of God on the inside it is produced from inside you but then you now
have to walk in it its like my calling
you cannot get this virtue from anywhere else you got it when the holy ghost came
to live in you you must put it to work you have it in you
when the holy ghost came to reside in me i nolonger needed supply from heaven what
i need is inside me no more struggling
add virtue to your faith say you will only do right things and only do such
so to faith add virtue and to virtue add knowledge
virtue is not according to you but according to God
moral judgement cannot be left to man
to virtue add knowledge
knowledge here is gnosis knowledge gained through intellectual activity
that means that God wants us to be erodite thats why he told us to study he wants
us to put our minds to work he is not talking about revelation here
knowledge is power
i need the knowledge of Gods word
He wants me to have mental prowess He wants my mind to be sharp He wants me to
study and get knowledge if you study the knowledge will stay with you it will
reside in you then you can act on it and put it to work
the word that you put into your spirit it will give me a character then i wont have
to worry because the word is in every fibre of my being
to your knowledge you need temperance
in some versions temperance is called self control
you need to see what peter writes in pictures as he was not as scholastic as paul
he was a fisherman
you must have self restraint add it to your knowledge
always have your goals insight
always hold your self back
to your tenperance add patience
Enkrateia
the keyword here is endurance it is called stickability how to keep keeping on is
what is being talked about here in the face of opposition
sometimes there are hardships at the beginning but stick to what you believe
endure hardship as a soldier
God can use me to provide solutions
learn to stick with something and endure and endure with hope for a brighter day
patience without hope is useless
if you donot like the conditions endure with hope if you are living with someone
else donot expect three meals one is enough donot accept anymore because if you
become comfortable with what you are getting you would never go
one is enough anywhere you are staying at
one who doesnot work will not eat
because you will begin to think that these meals are your right and when you donot
get them you will not be happy
learn to accept hardship
donot complain when you face hardship face it with the hope that there is a
brighter day not too far away
to patience add godliness
this means piety towards God being devout
this means devotion to spiritual activities
this word does not refer to inner virtues/rightness it is refering to what you do
which can be seen on the outside
this means you must learn to pray you ought to have godly devotion like queit times

this is profitable there is a promise for this

you must go to church because Jesus did so too despite God being inside me
there are some places you should not be found in that is part of godliness
if you get there you should be found with godly piety
step aside from such comotions you should know how to handle yourself
never care what people think about you
be humble be lilke Jesus
it doesnot mean anything when someone calls you names just dont care it doesnt mean
that what thay say is what i am maintain your confession in life only one person
really mattered be like Jesus and you will be a success anywhere
be lost in Jesus have noname
enjoy your life
godliness is well directed reverence
so hold yourself contain yourself be quiet donot dress like a rough person
there is a decency you should have
to godliness add brotherly kidness this is philia
have godly affection be willing to help
learn to recieve and accept people esteem others
be willimg to help others
be kind hearted
change your way of talking become more pesant be kind choose your words carefully
be pleasant to be around
to brotherly kindness add charity
this is agappe
john 21.15
different from philio because it is more like personal devotion while philio is
more like

part 3

virtue is moral excellence

he wants your mind to be filled with the things of the spirit
be smart and informed
God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love of power and of a sound mind
do not reject knowledge be inspired by the bible
meditate on 1 timothy 3 and 4
in joshua 1.8 we see that the book should not leave your mouth
the power of this book is in the talking of it
donot leave this word in your heart
appear in 1 timothy 4.15 means progress that can not be hidden it will appear to
everyone and it will cause you to shine
ginosko is imparted to you when you are born again you cannot reason it out you
just know
eido is an awarness and its like you come into a room and the light is on allowing
you to be aware of things in the room
also the word of God is that we know that all things are working together for the
good to them that love God
we are aware of it thats eido
but then what is my part in this that is where epignosis comes in
what is my role because epignosis is knowledge with participation this is the kind
of knowledge that you apply in the realm of the spirit
you are beginning to use knowledge that is why he said let your love abound more
and more in knowledge
because when you are born again the love of God is in your heart
so its just there but that doesnot mean that you are growing in love
but through epignosis that is revelation knowledge that comes to you full through
your participation in that knowledge
what happens is what you have recieved now you understand how it works by
revelation
now you know how to apply your knowledge of certain topics and put it to work in
your life
it is that full knowledge that you gain as you meditate in the realm of the spirit
now that type of meditation is also what brings you rhema
to apply these things
epignosis is the knowledge that you come into eg the epignosis of christ the
knowledge of christ which we are counciled to have it were not possible we would
not be asked to get it
the knowledge of christ makes you become more like him you become more and more
united with his thoughts
colossians 1.19
paul was praying that others had this knowledge because he was already walking in
this truth thats what put him above the rest
to walk in the perfect will of God you need to have a revalation
when you know the will of God it is revealed in you
that knowledge of His will you are filled with His will in all wisdom which is
insight into reality and also spiritual understanding
when you are filled with the knowledge of his will as you meditate on Gods word and
you are brought into this kind of knowledge you begin to function with all wisdom
insight into reality you know beyond what you see it is a spiritual understanding
you know whats the power behind it you know exactly what to do
i am a partaker of the divine nature through the epignosis of him who has called us
to glory and virtue
1 corinthians 13.11-12
the more you study the word of God the more you discover yourself inside
the more i meditate on the word of God the more i study it in the spirit the more
we delve into it in the spirit the more we become what he says we are known

part 4

i am the spiritual seed of abraham

i will go forward wax great and be so great
the world is governed by spiritual laws and spiritual man that have understood
those laws are at the top
i am a success irrespective of circumstances
epignosis is the knowledge that makes me a master
colossians 3.9-10
i have put on the new man
who is renewed continuosly the greek word used here by paul is not common
the greek is a verb anakaninoo meaning a qualitative difference not in terms of how
recent it is but in qualitative difference its a word that describes another word
used in 2 corinthians 3.18 meaning a change in state kind and quality yet it is the
same life but theres a change in state a change in form a change in glory this word
in greek explains to us a qualitative difference it is a continuous change
something that is continuously happening it is going on the knowledge talked about
here is epignosis not ordinary knowledge epignosis is a knowledge that one
participates in it is a revelation that comes in meditation through that meditation
there is a change a transformation you become what you know
you are being renewed in epignosis in this full knowledge of God which you gain
through meditation and that revelation has come to your spirit you become what you
know the knowledge granted you transforms your life the more you know Him the more
you see yourself in Him and the more you become like what paul says the glory of
God the more you look the more you are changed we are renewed in knowledge after
the image of God this image is a qualitative image
paul chose words that were not in everyday communication to explain the things of
God
1 corinthians 15.45
take note of tenses when studying the word
