If you are in Christ, you are justified and you have peace with God.
You don’t need a strange regalia to walk in the corridors of the Spirit. As you have been justified, you have the right standing with God. You can walk in the corridors of Heaven as Jesus, for you have His righteousness.
Hallelujah!

GO FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD
“But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ“
2 Peter 2:5-8 (NKJV)
In 2 Peter, the apostle used different words for knowledge. Though each of these words may have some similarities, they have unique rich meanings.
Though he used the word, knowledge about five (5) or more times, he chose a specific word in Greek.
See these:
2 Peter:
a. 1:2
“… through the knowledge (epignōsis) of God and of Jesus our Lord.”
b. 1:3
“… through our knowledge (epignōsis) of him….”
c. 1:5-6
“For this very reason, make every effort to add … to goodness, knowledge (gnōsis)…”
d. 1:8
“… keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge (epignōsis) of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
e. 1:12
“… even though you know (oida) them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.”
f. 1:14
“because I know (oida) that I will soon put [my body] aside….”
You will see that, the word knowledge, gnōsis, used in the opening verse (1 Peter 1:5-6, ) is different from the word knowledge, epignōsis, used in 1 Peter 1:8.
Few people have some subtle resentment towards the word “gnosis”, more because of the “Gnostic movement” (which considered material existence flawed or evil and held the principal element of salvation to be direct knowledge of the hidden divinity, attained via mystical or esoteric insight.
Many Gnostic texts deal not with concepts of sin and repentance, but with illusion and enlightenment.)
Peter, the apostle, in his epistle was speaking of knowledge, gnōsis, as, “experientially know”; functional (“working”) knowledge gleaned from first-hand (personal) experience, connecting theory to the application; “application-knowledge,” gained in (by) a direct relationship. (Strong’s Bible Dictionary)
This knowledge, gnosis, is the possession of information of what is known. Gnosis describes the comprehension or intellectual grasp of something.
It refers to knowledge gained by experience. Gnosis is an “experiential knowledge”.
It speaks of an intellectual possession of scriptures, both by the study of the Bible and scriptural experience through situations.
This is more of knowing God’s word and His ways.
Grasp the knowledge of the scriptures on a daily basis. Knowledge is an indispensable element in your fruit bearing.
Apply the scriptures in every situation, and don’t assume there are situations, you don’t need the word of God.
Put God’s word to work in your daily life.
Selah!

Awesome
I am excited to share my comment on this episode.
I have noticed the various meanings of the word knowledge used in scriptures.
In 2 Peter 2: 5-8, the term knowledge in there is either Gnosis, Epignosis and oida.
A further emphasis was placed on Gnosis which is knowledge gain through scientific process and experience.
This term emphasizes on me being intentional about using the scriptures in my daily living and not allowing any situation to be addressed without scriptures. This is how to gain knowledge (Gnosis).
Thank you Jesus

we must not study to teach nor just have it as head knowledge but it is most important that we put study to practice because as we put it to work it becomes evident on us when we tell the source of our manifestations
Head knowledge without results means nothing. One can give only what has not what he knows. The knowing must have a correspondent experience to solidify the matter of the word working in ones life
But note that the fact that the word is not manifesting your results doesn’t mean it doesn’t work there are factors and precepts set in place By God to reach manifestation and results and if you flout them you may think the word doesn’t work but it does
knowledge is light and the most important thing one must glean first is light in every situation that has brought darkness
immediately light comes action must follow. light without action is pointless and action without light is also pointless
I don’t give room to ignorance
I am full of divine light
I apply the knowledge of Christ in all matters
Thank you Lord Jesus
