Go for understanding.

Saturday, November 5th.
Go for understanding.

“For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”
Matthew 13:15

Jesus did more teaching than anything else. Teaching is explanation. Explanation is what leads to understanding, understanding is what produces convictions. Convictions produce faith and faith is what produces results.

Therefore, Jesus taught the people because if they are going to receive healing they must have understanding because without understanding there can be no faith and without faith you cannot receive anything from God. Whatever you do not understand you will lose. The Bible says in Matthew 13:19, “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.”
You can only receive what you understand because you can only have faith for what you understand. Matthew 13:23 says, “But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Your level of understanding is what determines the measure of fruit you bear by the Word.
