How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used various methods for discovering truth such as: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so.
What Does the Bible Say Is the Process God Wants Us to Use to Discover His Truth?
Satan's temptation in the Garden of Eden was that man could "eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and know himself." I wouldn’t need daily walks and talks with God, letting Him reveal truth to me. I could figure it out on my own. “YOU can KNOW” was satan’s lie to Adam (Gen. 2:17; 3:5).
So now the Bible speaks of knowledge versus true knowledge, man’s knowledge versus God’s knowledge.
True knowledge is knowledge birthed in revelation from God, which comes directly to man through the Holy Spirit. To receive this revelation knowledge man must yield his heart and his mind to the indwelling river of God - to "flow." This will result in reasoning together with God (Isa. 1:18), receiving words of wisdom, words of knowledge, prophecy, discerning of spirits and much, much more.
The Bible teaches us that God’s paradigm for knowing is a broad-based approach. You will discover God’s method as you work your way through the 5,000 verses which form the base of this guided self-discovery manual.
This book lays out a Spirit-anointed epistemology requiring an educational paradigm shift from rationalism to revelation knowledge. The goal of education is stated in I Timothy 1:5 - love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. These are all heart experiences, not mental exercises. And these are exactly the heart experiences which are required for us to come through the veil into God's presence and receive His voice, His wisdom, His anointing, His dream, and His vision (Heb. 10:19-22).
Education must teach us how to come to our hearts and allow God to live His life through us by His indwelling Holy Spirit. Then we are eating from the Tree of Life!
May you adopt God’s paradigm for knowing, so you can know God’s thoughts and do God’s deeds.

I have spent two weeks exploring the Greek words for "heretic" and "heresy." I used e-Sword extensively. As a result of this meditative study, my perception of heretics and heresy was greatly altered.
The 44-minute video below allows you to journey alongside me during these two weeks, trying to understand what the Bible teaches about heretics and heresy. My views were so profoundly changed, I decided these two words should be tossed out of my vocabulary completely! It was unbelievable to me that it took me so long to sort through my confusion and completely re-adjust my thinking and the pictures in my mind.
So the video below walks you through the way I used e-Sword to help me discover a new way of looking at these two Greek words. I hope that it will train you how you can use e-Sword to do your in-depth research and come away with new enlightenment from the Holy Spirit on a topic. Lord, reveal!

So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. (2 Pet. 1:19)
