In Galatians today we find where Paul tells how he came to be so knowledgeable of the Lord when he had been a Pharisee during the entire ministry of Jesus on the earth. Galatians 1:11-12:
11 For I want you to know, believers, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man’s gospel [it is not a human invention, patterned after any human concept]. 12 For indeed I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a [direct] revelation of Jesus Christ.
Paul goes on to say that after his miraculous conversion, beginning with that road to Damascus experience, he did NOT study with the other disciples of Jesus. Instead, he went by himself into Arabia and it was THERE that the Lord Jesus Himself taught Paul, by the Holy Spirit within him! THEN, he went up and spoke with the other disciples. You can read all of this in verses 13-18. When you see this, you will understand how very important it is for US to make the same determined purpose that Paul made (Philippians 3:10 AMP) to get to know Jesus more and more! Paul already knew Jesus better than any other person, but he was NOT satisfied with that! He had a unquenchable desire to know Him MORE and MORE! Let's stir up that desire within ourselves and, as we get to know HIM more, we will automatically know the power of God that HE intends for US to walk in during these last days before Jesus catches His church away to be with Him forever! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "For Who You Are":
