YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF SPIRITUAL
PRINCIPLES
According as his divine power hath given
unto us all things that pertain unto life
and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
Our lives today are made better because of the
discoveries made by those who came before
us—those who learned about electricity, magnetism, heat,
radiation, etc. These discoveries gave us an advantage,
making life easier, better and faster than it was in previous
generations.
In the same way, in the spiritual realm, some of us
are constantly researching the Word of God, exploring
the realities of the Kingdom, and discovering how to live
the transcendent life in Christ. Through these spiritual
discoveries, we help others see how to succeed in life
and please God.
Just as natural laws benefit us, spiritual laws are even
more beneficial and vital. The principles of success as
taught in the world are nothing compared to the spiritual
principles in God's Word. For example, while in the world
many chase after material things, but the Bible teaches us
to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness;
consequently, everything you need in life will come to
you naturally (Matthew 6:33). That beats logic or human
34
reasoning; but it’s in sync with the principle of faith. Faith
is the law by which we live in the Kingdom: “…as it is
written, The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17).
Then in Romans 3:27, we read about the law of faith:
“Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law?
of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.” You must learn
to operate by the law of faith; it’s consistent and much
more reliable than natural laws. Take the law of gravity for
example; have you ever woken up one day to find that the
law of gravity had failed, with everything suddenly floating
in the air? No! The law of gravity works all the time.
But even so, spiritual laws and principles are more
immutable. Therefore, understand and apply them
diligently. Research the deeper truths of God through the
study of the Word and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Know
how to function in God's Kingdom, through your knowledge
of Him and of His spiritual principles, and you’ll live in the
fullness of His blessings and of your inheritance in Him.
Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for revealing the spiritual laws

prosperity. My life is governed by your Word, and I live
