GET UNDERSTANDING

1. UNDERSTANDING is the EYE of the body, “ ... if therefore thine EYE BE SINGLE, thy whole body shall be FULL OF LIGHT. But if thine EYE BE EVIL, thy whole body shall be FULL OF DARKNESS. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” [Matthew 6:23] As our EYES need LIGHT to SEE, so do we require Spiritual LIGHT, the KNOWLEDGE of TRUTH in Jesus Christ to GET UNDERSTANDING “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I AM the LIGHT OF THE WORLD: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the LIGHT OF LIFE” [John 8:12] For those who have received Christ, WISDOM is indispensable; UNDERSTANDING is a life-long spiritual odyssey, WISDOM is the diet that keeps us in the WAY, that we should not make fools of ourselves, “Yea also, when he that is a FOOL WALKETH BY THE WAY, his WISDOM FAILETH HIM, and he saith to every one that HE IS A FOOL” [Ecclesiastics 10:3] By all means, let us desire and tenaciously ask God for WISDOM that our quest for UNDERSTANDING be not in vain “If any of YOU LACK WISDOM, let him ASK OF GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” [James 1:5] WISDOM will keep you in the WAY, UNDERSTANDING will establish you in eternal RICHES and GLORY of God’s King, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore GET WISDOM: and WITH ALL THY GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” [Proverbs 4:7]

2. UNDERSTANDING comes by REVELATION, the SON reveals the FATHER to you and in you, “... NO MAN KNOWETH who the SON is, but the FATHER; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the SON WILL REVEAL HIM” [ Luke 10:22] Revelation of the FATHER in the SON is beyond what a Mentor may pass to his Mentee, it is the MYSTERY of God manifest in flesh and blood to REDEEM us to Himself; He must indeed become like us that we might be like Him, “And without controversy great is the MYSTERY of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, ...” [1 Timothy 3:16] Only the SON may REVEAL the FATHER to you and in you, and He does to those who purge themselves of “OWN UNDERSTANDING” to GET His UNDERSTANDING [Proverbs 3:5] The proof of UNDERSTANDING is knowing who you are in Christ, in Him we are joined to God and made PERFECT IN ONE, “I IN THEM, and THOU IN ME, that they may be MADE PERFECT IN ONE; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me” [John 17:23] Eve was deceived because she lacked UNDERSTANDING of her IDENTITY; she had no reason to be like gods, she was made in the image of God [Genesis 3:5] In Jesus Christ we are SONS of God and Joint-Heirs with Jesus Christ, having this UNDERSTANDING let us live above the DECEITS and CORRUPTION of the present world, “Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE OF GOD, and that the SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU?” [1 Corinthians 3:16] 

3. UNDERSTANDING is not a GIFT, you work to GET it, “... I Daniel UNDERSTOOD BY BOOKS the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish SEVENTY YEARS in the DESOLATIONS OF JERUSALEM” [Daniel 9:2] Daniel “UNDERSTOOD BY BOOKS” the timeline of DIVINE AGENDA but Jerusalem with her many Priests because she would not search the Scriptures for UNDERSTANDING and for which Jesus, “... wept over it, “Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the THINGS WHICH BELONG UNTO THY PEACE! but now they are HID FROM THINE EYES” [Luke 19: 41-44] Brethren, our HOPE and PEACE in present global instabilities and excruciating is not in protests or regime change but in the WORD of God. Let no man deceive you, everything God had DONE, is DOING and will yet do are established in the Bible and therein is our PEACE. Let us SEARCH and DIG DEEP into Holy Scriptures for UNDERSTANDING of our place in Prophecy, “STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH” [2 Timothy 2:15] You must not allow your UNDERSTANDING of extant worldwide disorders and fear Jesus Christ is at the door, “And when THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, then LOOK UP, and LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; for your REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH” [Luke 21:28]

4. UNDERSTANDING surpasses WISDOM as heaven is beyond earth, “The LORD by WISDOM hath founded the earth; BY UNDERSTANDING hath he ESTABLISHED THE HEAVENS” [Proverbs 3:19] UNDERSTANDING was the difference between WISE and FOOLISH VIRGINS in Matthew 25:1-12; the WISE UNDERSTOOD what needed to be DONE; they took OIL in their lamps, “They that were FOOLISH took their lamps, and TOOK NO OIL with them: But the WISE TOOK OIL in their vessels with their lamps” [Matthew 25:3-4] Beloved, now is the time to fill your VESSEL with OIL of Spiritual Maturity and be no more food for False Teachers, “That we henceforth be NO MORE CHILDREN, tossed to and fro, and CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, by the sleight of men, and CUNNING CRAFTINESS, whereby they lie in wait to DECEIVE”[Ephesians 4:14] OIL of UNDERSTANDING cannot be sold or passed by impartation; it is pressed in the mill of HOLINESS and SEPARATION to God. I charge you therefore to, “... present your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, acceptable unto God, ... And BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” [Romans 12:1-2] GET UNDERSTANDING while there is yet time. Night is coming when no man may work.
