3. Dictionaries - Baker's Evangelical Dictionary
of Biblical Theology - Know, Knowledge
•
The Old Testament. The Hebrew root yada [[;d"y],translated
"know"/"knowledge, " appears almost 950 times in the Hebrew
Bible. It has a wider sweep than our English word "know, "
including perceiving, learning, understanding, willing,
performing, and experiencing. To know is not to be intellectually
informed about some abstract principle, but to apprehend and
experience reality. Knowledge is not the possession of
information, but rather its exercise or actualization.
4. • Thus, biblically to know God is not to know about him in an
abstract and impersonal manner, but rather to enter into his
saving actions ( Micah 6:5 ). To know God is not to struggle
philosophically with his eternal essence, but rather to recognize
and accept his claims. It is not some mystical contemplation,
but dutiful obedience.

5. • The fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained
through experience or association
• Acquaintance with or understanding of a science, art, or technique
• The fact or condition of being aware of something
• The range of one's information or understanding answered to the
best of my knowledge
• The circumstance or condition of apprehending truth or fact through
reasoning : COGNITION
• The fact or condition of having information or of being learned
a person of unusual knowledge
6. God’s definition of knowledge
• In Hebrew, “to know” doesn’t mean to have head knowledge of
something, but it means to have an intimate, experiential,
transforming knowledge.
• In the Book of Genesis, God says that Adam “knew his wife,
and she conceived and bore” a son (Genesis 4:1).
• In this case, “Knowing” resulted in the conception of a baby.
• Obviously this knowing is by intimate experience, that kind of
knowledge is the only concept that exists in God’s economy.
7. IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
REVELATION KNOWLEDGE
• God’s revelation is to your spirit.
• Knowing something in your spirt
will cause you to take action.
• It works in your mind causing
your thoughts to be renewed .
• It becomes a compelling force
causing you to live accordingly.
• It moves you from one level of
glory to another.
• Revelation Knowledge imparts
wisdom.
HEAD KNOWLEDGE
• Knowing something in the head
will not cause you to act upon it.
• You can decide to do it later or to
look for a better solution.
• Head, or sense knowledge will not
be a driving force.
• You can know a lot about the
subject but because is not in your
heart you will not do it.
8. 1 Corinthians
2:12 (NKJV)
• 12 Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit who is from
God, that we might know
the things that have been
freely given to us by God.
The Spirit of the Lord makes us
aware of the things of God
• Clearly there are two spirits in
this equation.
• One, the worldly spirit that is not
given by God and profits
nothing.
• The second, from God, who
makes us aware of the things of
God
9. The spirit of the World
• The spirit of the world can be
understood as
1. a demonic spirit, Satan in
particular.
2. A mind set that is opposed
to the Spirit of God.
3. Human wisdom, as
expressed in secular
philosophies and worldly
wisdom.
• Satanism
• Shamanism
• Rosicrucianism
• Gnosticism
• Metaphysics
• Zoroastrianism
• Philosophy
• Esoterism in general..
10. THE SPIRIT WHICH IS FROM GOD
• Helps us to become aware of the things that are ours in Christ.
• Making us aware does not mean that we already know them.
• When we are in this stage we may think that what we come to
realize from the bible doesn’t work for us, or that we have made
a mistake somewhere and we are not able to obtain the
promises written in the Word of God.
• But there is no mistake, so far the Spirit of Knowledge has only
made you aware of things.
• But that is not all.

FULL UNDERSTANDING

knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

glory

reveal them to us.

20. • When we have this knowledge and understanding of these
things,

will become renewed through the Word.
