Knowledge, The Experience

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ephesians 3:19 AMP; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

Knowledge is an experience.

This is why to know God is to EXPERIENCE God.

In our dispensation, God is pouring out knowledge like never before. However this new knowledge and revelation comes into question in the hearts of many who have not fully understood these things because it has not been exercised in the arena of experience.

For example, the depth of God comes in the form of knowledge but it is an experience. The dimensions of the spirit and the laws by which one functions in them may come in the form of knowledge but they are an experience.

True acquaintance with the realm of God is not merely through knowledge but through experience.

You will never have the richest measure of the divine presence by knowledge alone but by experience.

This begs the question, what does it mean to experience God?

We experience God in the exercise of our spiritual senses every time we encounter knowledge.

Moreover, there is a knowledge that can never come to you until you learn to exercise your senses. This is why Paul says “Strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14).

When you hear of the manifold wisdom of God, that is knowledge. You KNOW that His wisdom is many sided. But a man who hungers for experience will ask, ‘what is the sound of wisdom? (Proverbs 1:20), what is the taste of wisdom? (Proverbs 24:14) How does wisdom look to the eye? How does it feel like?

Like our theme scripture compels us, desire for more than mere knowledge.

Hunger for the experiences in knowledge.

PRAYER: My Father, I thank you for the knowledge you have imparted in my spirit today. I receive not just the knowledge but the experience of these things. My senses are exercised to see, touch, feel, taste and hear the Word and to live it as my very reality. To the glory of your name. Amen.
