(It’s Your Divinely Given Right To Understand The Scriptures)

TO THE BIBLE: LUKE 8:10 KJV
“And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God.”

LET’S TALK
“I’m not sure I’m cut out for this; I just can’t seem to understand the Bible whenever I read it,” Sylvia sighed in frustration.

“No, Sylvia, don’t say that. You’re a child of God; therefore, you have the ability to understand the scriptures,” Emily reminded her.

As a child of God, it’s your divine right and ability to understand the Scriptures. Never agree with those who claim the Bible is difficult to understand.

It’s one of Satan’s strategies to deceive God’s people and try to make them believe they can’t understand the Scriptures. Never agree with it; you have the understanding of the righteous.

The Bible tells us that God has given us a sound mind. The power is in accepting and declaring what God has said.

So even if you’ve been having difficulties with understanding of the Word, right now, say, I’m sound; my mind is sound. I’m alert. I have good understanding.” Don’t accept the devil’s lies that God’s Word is mysterious. Declare that you have an understanding mind.

Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life is to help you understand the Scriptures.

In John 14:26, Jesus said, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

The Bible also tells us how He breathed on His disciples and said, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (John 20:22), thus opening their minds to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45). That’s a miracle, and that same miracle happened to you when you received the Holy Spirit.

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for granting me an understanding heart; I have insight into the mysteries and secrets of the Kingdom, and the boundless treasures of wisdom that are in your Word are unveiled to my spirit even now as I study your Word. The eyes of my understanding are flooded with light to know and walk in your perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
