POWER OF UNDERSTANDING

 

It is an honor and privilege to speak with you again, today I want to talk to you about the Power of Understanding. We live in a society where information is at our fingertips and often shared without understanding because it sounds good or produces some kind of emotional response. It is necessary whether in action or by way of information that you have an understanding of what you are translating or why you are doing something. In Proverbs 4:7 it says, “Wisdom is the principle thing therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Once you come to a place of understanding, it is wisdom that helps you apply what you understand. Your understanding is the proof of revelation, it shows that the content or experience revealed God’s true meaning which brought you to a place of understanding. Understanding brings forth peace as you learn what to entertain and how to respond to things that may bother you (Proverbs 14:29). A person can’t change what they fail to understand in their lives. Psalms 119:130 says “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” You remember the phrase “The light bulb went off” which simply means you came to an understanding about something. When we come to a place of understanding the word of God and how to apply Godly principles, our lives will produce the life God desires. An individual who rejects or never pursues understanding is someone who wants to continue to live life on their own terms. Proverbs 18:2 says “A fool hath no delight in understanding but in expressing his own heart.” Some people are so quick to try and prove or display what they know yet they fail to get understanding on the information they have received. Life will challenge you on your understanding when you are releasing information or displaying actions that will produce some type of fruit in your life. Don’t set yourself up for failure by running with things you have yet to get God’s understanding about. You must spend one on one time with God and allow the Holy Spirit to truly teach you. It is only God’s word that brings forth clarity and understanding. Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” By experiencing the pureness of who God is and the truth of the word of God, understanding brings forth the ability to be pure, analyze intent, and to move with purpose. I encourage you today to seek understanding in all you do.
