1:17-18 (NKJV)
• 17 that the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of glory, may
give to you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of
Him, 18 the eyes of
your [a]understanding
being enlightened; that
you may know what
is the hope of His
calling, what are the
riches of the glory of
His inheritance in the
saints,
Wisdom and Revelation give us
knowledge of our Lord.

to Know
The hope of His call,
The richness of the glory,
His inheritance in the Saints.

6. EPHESIANS 3:18-19 (NKJV)
• 18 may be able to comprehend with all the
saints what is the width and length and depth
and height— 19 to know the love of Christ
which passes knowledge; that you may be
filled with all the fullness of God.
Comprehend, grasp mentally, understand.
God’s love is far beyond understanding.
Simply, we accept it.
The power and the love of Christ.

HIS DISCIPLES

8. JOHN 20:21-22 (NKJV)

you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send
you.” 22 And when He had said this, He
breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive
the Holy Spirit.

• Breathed, blew.

9. ACTS 2:1-4 (NKJV)
• 2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully
come, they were all [a]with one accord in one
place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound
from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled the whole house where they
were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to
them [b]divided tongues, as of fire,
and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance.

10. LUKE 24:45 (NKJV)
• 45 And He opened their understanding, that
they might comprehend the Scriptures.
• John 20:22 is a complement of this scripture
• The understanding was opened when they received the Holy
Spirit.
• Anointing to understand the scriptures.

11. PROVERBS 4:7 (NKJV)
• 7 Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.
• Without understanding, scriptures will not take root into the
hearts. An the devil will steal from the heart of those who do
not understand.

12. MATTHEW 13:19 (NKJV)
• 19 When anyone hears the word of the
kingdom, and does not understand it, then
the wicked one comes and snatches away
what was sown in his heart. This is he who
received seed by the wayside.
• If you don’t understand a scripture, ask the
Spirit of understanding to help you, read it
again and again, meditate on it, read it again
until you understand it.

13. HOW DO YOU GET
UNDERSTANDING?

14. UNDERSTANDING COMES BY
REVELATION

15. EPHESIANS 3:1-4 (NKJV)
• 3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of
Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— 2 if indeed
you have heard of the [a]dispensation of the
grace of God which was given to me for
you, 3 how that by revelation He made
known to me the mystery (as I have briefly
written already, 4 by which, when you read,
you may understand my knowledge in the
mystery of Christ),

16. UNDERSTANDING IS
YOUR PORTION
It was given to you!

17. MATTHEW 13:10-11 (NKJV)
• The Purpose of Parables
• 10 And the disciples came and said to Him,
“Why do You speak to them in parables?”
• 11 He answered and said to them, “Because it
has been given to you to know
the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,
but to them it has not been given.
• Why people followed Jesus?
• Wy the disciples followed Him?

18. UNDERSTANDING
WILL INCREASE
Or could decrease, is up to you!

19. MATTHEW 13:12-13 (NKJV)
• 12 For whoever has, to him more will be
given, and he will have abundance; but
whoever does not have, even what he has
will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I
speak to them in parables, because seeing
they do not see, and hearing they do not
hear, nor do they understand.

20. UNDERSTANDING
WILL CONVERT YOU

21. MATTHEW
13:15 (NKJV)
15 For the hearts of
this people have
grown dull.
Their ears are hard of
hearing,
And their eyes they
have closed,
Lest they should see
with their eyes and
hear with their ears,
Lest they should
understand with their
hearts and turn, So
that I [a]should heal
them.’
• John 6:60 …“This is a
difficult teaching. Who can
accept it?”
• John 6:68-69
• 68Simon Peter replied,
“Lord, to whom would we
go? You have the words of
eternal life. 69We believe
and know that You are the
Holy One of God. ”
