Understanding The Word

Understanding The Word

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Peter 2:7-8 (KJV), Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Every believer must learn to walk in the spirit with understanding, least they stumble at the Word, and walk in disobedience.

Disobedience does not come only when we don’t do what is taught, but also when we do things differently from what is taught.

The result of this stumbling is that you may not fully function in what you discover because it does not come with accurate interpretation.

An example is saints who read the New Testament realities with an Old Testament mind set.

In the gospel of Matthew 17, a story is given of how the disciples of Jesus failed to cast out a devil in a young man who had seizures.

And Jesus tells them in verse 20 why they could not. It was because of their unbelief.

In verse 21 He tells them that however this kind (of unbelief) goes not away save by fasting and prayer.

Sadly, many saints interprete that as this kind of ‘evil spirit.’

It was not about the kind of demon, it was about their lack of faith.

Purpose to gain an acquaintance with the Word of God in understanding. As you yield to the teaching of the Holy Spirit and not human interpretation, you will be amazed at the things God will teach you.

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Timothy 2:15, Matthew 13:23.

GOLDEN NUGGET

Purpose to gain an acquaintance with the Word of God in understanding. As you yield to the teaching of the Holy Spirit and not human interpretation, you will be amazed at the things God will teach you.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you because I walk in the understanding of your Word. I am deeply acquainted with the interpretations and executions of the Word. In you I live, move and have my being. I have mastery over the operations of the world of spirits. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
