God's Understanding

Ask yourself what came first .... faith or understanding?

Brethren, be not children IN UNDERSTANDING: howbeit in malice (wickedness) be ye children, but in UNDERSTANDING BE men. 1 Corinthians 14:20

The EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, ... Ephesians 1:18

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS. Ephesians 5:17

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL in all wisdom and SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; .... Colossians 1:9,10

After reading those verses we can see Faith comes by UNDERSTANDING the will of God!

Coming from MYSTERY BABYLON I was as many, a man of malice; and yet a child in understanding.

As John, I heard the voice of one that called me from MYSTERY BABYLON to Him and yet when I turned to look I saw but Him in the MIDST of the candlesticks. For so long I missed Him for the candlesticks. However, grace and mercy never ceased for He is eternal and He changes NOT!

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and LEAN NOT UNTO THY OWN UNDERSTANDING,” saith the Lord. Proverbs 3:5

I see now that I ran about as a child in my own understanding parroting what MYSTERY BABYLON SAID rather then the Spirit of understanding.

Far to long I missed what the Spirit saith unto the churches; instead I listened to the faulty doctrines, creeds and traditions of MYSTERY BABYLON.

I saw that within my flesh dwelt no good thing, but I missed the truth that my mind was only taught lies and as so I was a puffed up carnal Christian.

Just as the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, so THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY is Understanding. Proverbs 9:10

How I bless Him for His eternal love in that I now see that within me is nothing, and yet there is something much greater then me, and that is His Word of life; that desires to mature and take root so that all may see the fruit of the Spirit growing from within me!

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 2 Timothy 2:7

It has been, Satan’s policy to misrepresent the truth, to distort and carnalize the Word of God, in order to hinder humankind from seeing the great beauty and majesty of the ETERNAL WILL of God.

I in WONDER and AWE bless the Lord for we are now living in the time when the veil of ignorance is being dissolved, and when the Lord’s people are being drawn by the Spirit to look away from the doctrines, creeds and systems formed for their enslavement, and to look directly to the Word of God itself and to the living GOD of the Word.

Therefore lean no longer upon thine own understanding. Judge neither after the sight of the eyes nor the hearing of the ears, but seek that living Spirit of UNDERSTANDING that comes from God alone.

And He (Jesus) said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.' Luke 8:10

Oh, to be anointed of the Spirit is to understand the secrets and mysteries of God!

“‘May give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation IN THE knowledge OF Him: the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED....’ Ephesians 1:17,18

“‘In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was 'revealed' unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzer; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he UNDERSTOOD the thing, and had UNDERSTANDING OF THE VISION.’ Daniel 10:1

May God help us to RIGHTLY UNDERSTAND THE VISION HE IMPARTS.

‘A thing was revealed to Daniel...’ Revealed = Hebrew word, galah, means: to denude, uncover. It implies a stripping away of all that might cause it to be held in obscurity, so that it stands clearly, plainly exposed before us.

When the Holy Spirit reveals a thing, it is made bare, uncovered so that we can clearly grasp its meaning.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. John 16:25

God-given revelation is not to be confused with carnal imaginations, for divine revelation does not spring out of the mind, but OUT OF THE HEART!!!!

‘Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He MAKE TO UNDERSTAND doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn (removed) from the breast.’ Isaiah 28:9

How we need to grow up, until we can RIGHTLY DIVIDE the Word of Truth. ‘For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the Word of Righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.’ Hebrews 5:13,14

‘Evil men understand not judgment: but THEY THAT SEEK THE LORD UNDERSTAND ALL.’ Proverbs 28:5

Understand = Hebrew word is ‘biyn’ meaning: to be able to separate mentally, distinguish, thus, TO RIGHTLY DIVIDE.

Ohhhhh yes '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

To make it in some worldly job or trade one needs to study. The natural mind needs to be exercised in the trade so that it can do the trade. Since when did the things of the kingdom of heaven change for one's carnal reasoning?

Putting your hand to the plow is a commitment of love and devotion to Him who gives you the understanding in ministry of His RECONCILIATION.

“‘My feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. – When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me. – Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then UNDERSTOOD I their end.’ Psalms 73:2,3,16,17

One can view it all with the carnal mind, and it is TOO PAINFUL. But, draw night unto God, in the sanctuary (separated place), and HE will help you to understand.

“When Joseph was a young man, he went out to announce his vision, and apply it to his present circumstances. I assure you, his vision was from God, and it was TRUE. Genesis 37:5-11 gives the record. In the first dream, Joseph and his brothers were out binding sheaves in the field, and all his brothers’ sheaves bowed down to his sheaf. His brethren didn’t like that dream at all. The second dream, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance (respect) to him. Even his father rebuked him for that dream. Joseph had supposed his brethren would understand.

HOW COULD THEY UNDERSTAND A VISION THAT WAS NOT THEIR OWN.

You cannot live on a borrowed revelation.

When the Word of God is made a live in us it is GOD’S UNDERSTANDING, out of His wisdom. And we must be tried until we come into UNION with that Word.

‘The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.’ Psalm 12:6

How by His grace and mercy I have seen that His pure word gets mixed up with my reasoning's and interpretations, and so it is purified in my earthen vessel, till I rightly understand it.

Fire always purifies and changes the object it touches!

This Holy fire of God's UNDERSTANDING changed Joseph in that he said to his brothers ‘... So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: ...’ also ‘... But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, ...’ Genesis 45:8; 50:20

The understanding of God’s will took hold of Joseph and he saw God’s grace and mercy in action in his life, and how we MUST see with God’s understanding!

Even Moses acted by a ‘milk interpretation’ of the Word rather then God’s understanding. For Moses killed an Egyptian and buried him in the sand.

Yet we can see that them about Moses could not understand the will and plan of God for Stephen tells us in Act 7:25 ‘For he (Moses) supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they UNDERSTOOD not.’

God drove Moses out to the wilderness for Moses needed UNDERSTANDING himself, to ‘rightly divide the word of truth.’ When Moses MATURED and came into a PROPER UNDERSTANDING of God’s word then God brought him forth to do His will!!!!

Let me close with this understanding   .... “When God imparts a vision into your being, don’t try to restrict it to the limitations of your mind. Let that WORD OF GOD DWELL IN YOU RICHLY until you have been thoroughly processed thereby, and then your UNDERSTANDING will come into harmony with HIS WILL AND MIND. There are personal visions of what God would do in your own life, and there are visions of what God shall do for all men.

May God grant us that understanding that we might KNOW WHAT HE PURPOSES, and then totally surrender ourselves to Him for that victory.”
