(It’s Your Divine Right To Understand The Scriptures)
TO THE BIBLE: Matthew 13:10-11
“And the disciples came and said to Him, why do You speak to them in parables? He answered and said to them, because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.”
LET’S TALK
Some people struggle with understanding the Bible and say things like, “It’s just too hard to get!
No matter how much I try, it doesn’t make sense.” But that’s not true! As a child of God, It’s your divinely given right and ability to understand the Scriptures.
The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 13:11, “…it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” That means understanding God’s Word isn’t something you have to fight for—it’s already yours!
One of Satan’s tricks is to deceive God’s children just as he attempted with Jesus, questioning His identity.
The Bible says in Matthew 4:3, “Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
In the same way, the Devil tries to make you question yourself: “Maybe I should just accept that I truly can’t understand the Bible. Don’t yield to his deception that you lack understanding.”
The key is to accept and declare God’s truth. Speak it over yourself! Say, “I understand God’s Word. My mind is sharp and full of wisdom.”
In John 20:22, the Lord Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, “…Receive the Holy Spirit.” After that, they could understand the Scriptures like never before.
That same Holy Spirit is in you! He gives you clarity, wisdom, and insight when you study the Bible.
So don’t ever say you don’t understand. When you approach the Bible with this mindset, you’ll see things more clearly than ever before! Keep studying, keep declaring, and let God’s truth fill your heart and mind.
