You Have An Understanding Heart
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye
know all things (1 John 2:20).
Jesus said to His disciples, “…it is given unto
you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven, but to them it is not given” (Matthew 13:11).
If you’re a child of God, it’s your divinely-given right
and ability to understand the Scriptures. One of Satan’s
strategies is to make God’s people assume that they
don’t have an understanding of the Word, by throwing
doubts in their minds. He lies to Christians like he tried
with Jesus: “…If thou be the Son of God, command
that these stones be made bread” (Matthew 4:3).
Satan tried to make Jesus believe that He
wasn’t the Son of God. So he may say to you, “If
you’re truly a Christian, how is it that you don’t
understand the Scriptures?” Tell him, “Satan, I have
an understanding heart; the Holy Spirit teaches me
the Scriptures and helps me understand all things.”
Refuse to accommodate Satan’s lies. Don’t give in to
his deceptions. You have insight into mysteries and
secrets by the Holy Spirit.
Recall in John 20:21-22, after the resurrection of
Jesus, while His disciples were in a room, He came
in among them and said to them, “…Peace be unto
you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
And when he had said this, he breathed on them,
and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” By
imparting them with the Holy Spirit, He opened their
understanding to know and understand the Scriptures
(Luke 24:45). That same Holy Spirit lives in you today,
and teaches you the Word of God.
2 Timothy 1:7 says you have a sound mind; that
means an understanding mind. Affirm what God
has said concerning you, not the thoughts the devil
tries to introduce to your mind. Acknowledge and
accept that you’re sound, you have the mind-set and
understanding of the righteous. You’re highly sagacious
and perspicacious. You have extraordinary amplitude
of comprehension by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!
Confession
I’m born of the incorruptible seed of God which is the Word;
therefore, I have understanding of the Word. I function in
extraordinary wisdom—the wisdom of the righteous. My
path in life is as the shining light that shines brighter and
brighter unto the perfect day.
