The power of applied knowledge

Eph:1:17-18a "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:The eyes of your understanding being enlighten;
      Knowledge is power, but is it ; becuase you know something is not power, if you are in darkness and know how to turn on the light but don't where is the power. The power is in the applying of that which you know.God said "My people parish for a lack of knowledge" we deny him ,abandon him, forsake him, and at times sell him out all because we lack knowledge of who he truly is.In the book of Isaiah God says " My people are taken captive for a lack of knowledge". We remain prisoners of sin and guilt, held in the bondage of slavery to the flesh,and it's desires all because we lack knowledge as to who we are and whose we are. Saints we have a calling to share with the world the blessings of Gods great plan of salvation. A christians life can never stand still, when something stops growing it begings to die. It is imperitive that we come to fully know the true God in the most personal and intimate sense, for it is through knowledge and understanding of who he is that we can fully grasp our call and know our duty in this great plan of salvation.You can't fully understand whose you are if you don't truly know him who called you. So we must know the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, we must seek wisdom , seek it more than anything else on earth, we must truly hunger and thirst after righteousness.( 85% of all who attend church don't attend sunday school or bible study, how are we to learn).We must pray to receive the spirit of revelation in the knowledge of him.( ours is a revealed religion). So we must seek God above anything else and trust his spirit to reveal the deep things of God to us.
As these truth are revealed the eyes of the heart are opened, for it is with the heart that a man believes. When the eyes of the heart is opened we come to know 3 things. 1)what is the hope of our calling:(God calls us to stand perfect before him without spot and or blemish) we are not perfect but our hope is that through the blood of Jesus and the revelation of the holy spirit we might be made perfect, as we are saved by hope.2)Now we might begin to know the riches of the glory of his inheritance;as informed christians we now reconize the priceless value of our salvation; We realize what a priceless treasure we are to God. and 3)when we come to the knowledge and understanding that we are his, it unleashes the power of God in our life, see what God did for Jesus he will do for us, the resurrection of Jesus showed me God has the power to give me new life and the power to live a new life before him.....Our perfection is in Jesus the Christ the power of God unto salvation

  1. let us come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through his word and not by what the world tells us he is, make yourself available to sunday school and bible study where you can ask question, let us start applying the knowledge we have and walk a victorious life before man that all in darkness will follow us into his marvelous light
